I still have the car. It is going into the shop for some updates though. Need to install front brakes and a new steering box before I get back out. May see y'all sometime this summer...

Adam,
Where in Houston were those 'StangBang' pictures taken? That location looks ALOT like Texas A&M Riverside Campus... the old airbase outside of Bryan.
I just realized that I need an annual tech. Is there anyone in Houston that can do that for me or will I be able to do it in NOLA?
I plan on leaving Houston Friday by 2pm. Should be in NOLA around 7:45 barring issues. Staying in Avondale at Candlewood. Would like to unload the car and set up the pit and then hit Bourbon...
How many guys from Texas Region are going to be AI? I have not been able to get the car to the dyno so I'll be fun running again. OR... I can fun run in CMC... which do I do?
Well it's been a while since I've participated in a NASA event and I was determined to make it to the last TWS race. All I needed to do was change the oil...or so I thought. After putting the car...
I was planning to fly to AirVenture this year but work keeps getting in the way. Y'all should have a blast. Weather is predicted to be nice.
One for me please!
Ummm...I see a problem. The caps cannot be pressed in so that they bottom out. They need to be backed out against the snap rings or you will have an early failure. To do this, set the yoke on an...
I believe he has the internal snap rings.
You really can't measure the run out at the caps though. There is enough play in the slip yoke that measuring on the car will be inconsistent anyway and...
Can I also sign up for a tech inspect?
I'm entered in CMC but will run wherever y'all want me to. I DO need a banner though (I still have the circa 2010 banner). Who would I contact to have one made? Also need a number 20 for the hood.
That was where we went 4 wide into turn 1 at TWS. I was on the outside in the marbles and G Robertson was just to my left. He got a close-up of my front bumper as I backed away into the grass. I...
This is the new engine after blowing up the 305 in 2010... damn, it's been too long!
BTW, I can count on two fingers the number of times I've spun the #20 ; )
I can run AIX. No problem. I just wanted to get out there and mix it up again on the best track in the South. May need to run my orange R's again though...
Anyone object to me running exhibition CMC? I'm not going to have time to get to a dyno.
Do you still have this?
Wow... It went for just over $40k!
I too am looking for shop space in Houston... rent, buy or build if I can find the property. I am renting 9800 sf out in Luling for $800 but that is a two hour drive just to go visit my stuff. I...
You might want to use ACL race bearings. On an NA motor you shouldn't need to coat them (PolyDyn) but I would make sure that they are running at least .0018 to .002 rod and main clearances. Also...
Got news... you either broke a valve spring first or lost/failed the lock. When the valve dropped into the cylinder, it broke the head off and bounced around in there until it got the piston and...
The door is wide open for this one... (Ben Stein's voice) Francis...Francis...Francis...
We are building a WRL Fox Mustang to run in GP1 or Unlimited. Looking for suspension parts: camber plates, struts, shocks, control arms (front and rear), torque arm, pan hard bar, wheels, brake...
Suggest doing the leak down before you pull the engine. What is going on with the engine that it needs to go back to the builder?
I'm in for:
Front and Rear Bumper Covers
Front Fenders
Doors
Rear Facia Panel
Steering Rack
Brake Booster and Master Cylinder
Interior Panels
ABS Unit (if Mike or Jim don't want it)
