Almost reluctant to post updates following Todd’s 8.50 build. LOL
Car is in final primer coat, 1 more wet sand and ready for color.

Natural A car, so it fits AA - B /SA. I will probably start out in B. I built an FE powered super gas car that would run mid 9.50's with stock heads and intake but it was quite a bit lighter and used large tires. This is my first attempt at stock and 9" tires. I'll be happy with mid tens when I first get it out on the track.

After 18 months in paint shop I should be getting the car back in a few weeks. Just needs final buff.
Some assembly required LOL

This is taking forever, car still in paint jail. Lost about 3 months due to all the rain and a re-roof at the paint shop. Almost finished with buffing. (little specs must be on my cell phone lens because there were none on the door.) I'm going to have a hard time finishing the build waiting for the first nick or scratch!

Finally brought the car home from paint (20 months) it’s still in the trailer because I didn’t realize how much stuff accumulated in my garage during that time, the car won’t fit. LOL
Now I need to clean out the garage first before I can start final assembly. Hope to be joining the fun soon.

Out in the sun wearing trailer tires. Time to get busy.
