Any new S/SS cars being built for 2011

Alex Polewik · 01-03-2011, 01:49 PM

May finally get my NASCAR Hemi out to run this year...or next year or...marriage and kids slows a guy down. Don't know how some of you guys do it. Need to get busy putting it back together.

Painted in GM Polar White(I liked my Judge) and Massey Ferguson Red a mix between Viper Red and Nebraska Cornhusker Red(my wife graduated from there so it was a concession ). Threw in some gold metalflake for an old school flavor(can't see that in the photos). Really wanted to paint it Poppy Red like the old 65 Flash Car but I heard that was a Ford color and not permitted.

Having fun as always,
Alex

Very cool to see some guys bringing old race cars back from the dead. Good luck with your projects.

It's really nice to see some folks building new stuff. Even though I'm doing a Corvette, I have always been a Mopar man at heart. The 70 Cuda SS/DA car and the 64 Belvedere/Savoy are really sweet. The 64 and 65 Steve Bagwell cars were my favorites. But, I like anything sittin in the lanes of stock and Super/Stock !

Good luck everyone!

This one falls under "New for me".
I'm looking forward to racing my little slowpar this year. She's no where's near as fast as my old rides, but this little car has me giggling all the way down the track. Truly a challenge to drive and fun.
Testing was going well, until she ate a piston. Now new engine & spare, new turbo, new paint job (and Ed finally had time to put it all together.) It looks different but you all might recognize Jim Wahl's (Artie Leong) old BFS Spirit.

Wade,
When can we expect to see the Vette and what Super Stock class will it run?

Hope to make it out. Haven't been to Thunder Valley since the National Open in 1999(I think that's when it was) with the Camaro. I really would like to try to hit the local association stuff(Heartland ,USA, and Midwest) if possible.

Plan is to run SS/DA or SS/CA with the single four hemi. Looks good on paper but I'll see.

See you around,
Alex

Alex : You are a funny guy!!! Love that " Massey Ferguson Red" Reminds me of " down home" in the Mountains . We always had Massey Ferguson tractors. Those ground hog holes on the slopes were dangerous .You had better know how to jump off the MF in a hurry if you hit one becuase the MF was going over. We had generations of a fued with the Kramers and thay shot me off the MF one sunny day. They were shooting down from a ridge. The sound of bullets hitting the MF saved me before they could zero in on me!!! So thanks to the MF I'am here today to tell the story and continue to spend obscene
amounts of money on race cars. Say Hi to Toli and Mom for me the Professor
p.s. in this story MF= Massey Ferguson
