I feel your pain brother. I have my Chevy II bracket car that is actually "pretty close" to being ready to run. Maybe next spring?

My stocker, I dunno? The actual car, is still setting on jackstands, partially disassembled. I have various pieces, the roll bar, subframe connectors, the Cal-tracs and springs, wheels, ect, setting in piles. I have many engine pieces. Some still in boxes, others in piles, a few in the cleaning tanks. All waiting to be used.

If only work and life didn't stand in the way, maybe I could find extra time to work on these cars, LOL! As to making passes down the drag strip, my partner and I last raced our bracket car in 1988. I personally, haven't driven a competitive pass since, I believe, 1977!

Sounds like you're close. Keep working, you'll get there. So will most of us, for me, just don't know when?
