I'm freshening a '66 Coronet sedan to run in Super Stock/Production, hoping to be out by the summer. The car ran Formula Stock years ago and has been off the track since the late-70's/early-80's. It has the same paint on it that it was last raced with, I'm going to leave it. I am updating the safety and suspension stuff currently.

We (my Dad and I) are building a '72 Duster so we can try to start class racing in 2012. The current goal is to get out bracket racing with a non-legal motor in the spring and then drop in a legal low comp 340 during the season. If that happens we'll probably run some East Coast S/SS events and maybe make it to a divisional...if not, 2013.
Ken Kopecky got us going in the right direction and gave me a lot of advice on buidling the car earlier this year. Tom Goldman did the chassis work over the summer and has been invaluable on setup tips. So far we've got the chassis, suspension, rear, brakes and fuel system done; working on wiring now and then we'll get the interior finished before putting the driveline in and completing final assembly. Stil need wheels, tires, headers and driveshaft, but we're getting close. It's gonna be tight with the work schedule, but we should be done sometime in February. I'll post some pictures on the build in another thread after we get a little further along. Tom

I bought another car to replace my 95 firebird stocker project that was destroyed last sping by our tornado. I am working on getting the body cleaned up and ready to paint and having cage installed. Then I just have to start switching over parts from the one that got crushed. I also have another firebird at Nebraska Chassis (chassis1 on here) getting a NHRA Super stock legal backhalf done. I doubt with my businesses being so busy I will be out with you guys this year but I am trying

Real shame about the one that was crushed. That was one really nice car. I took some parts to Eastexas Race Cars Friday. Mine's looking really good. Wish my TIG welding looked like Dewayne's. LOL

I'm in the process of putting together a 1970 350/250 two barrel combination to run in my former Stock Eliminator / NMCA Mean Street Nova to run in SS/MA. Hopefully we'll be out by the end of 2012.

After several years in development will we hit the track 2012 with our SS Viper (SS/D). Youngblood clutch, Jerico 4spd, PMR chassie, EED engine.
We are right now working with fuel system, midplate and fitting the transmission. The stock Generation 2 V10 in my Viper is rated 425hp compared to the new Generation 4 V10 (Challenger) that is rated 450hp. The S/SS Scene in Scandinavia is evolving, 2012 will we have about 6-10 new cars among them DP (V8 and V10), Cobra Jets (2010 and 12) and old Iron bougt from you guys.
