    Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll certainly look for the group at Cresson and will bring extra beers.... ya'll like Schlitz, right???

    Car may look great on the surface but certainly needed some work on the innards when I got it. I bought what was supposed to be a fully CMC legal ready to run competitive car with fresh engine and wiring harness, just needed new tires. Engine was shot (cracked crank, cracked main cap, loose cylinder bore, blown head gasket, cross threaded spark plugs, broken valve springs, Terrible head machining, pitted rust on valves, etc), wiring a rats nest without even functional swtiches for fuel pump or ignition and almost burned thru battery cables, cage welding was interesting to the least and covered in ~1" of bondo at the floor plates.. Not sure how the previous owner passed tech on the east coast.. Good news is I'm working to make thing right on the car so I can learn and be safe.

    Some pics of the fun.
