Man, I got more excuses than a women right now. We just got back from the power tour in my 57 belair. So we have been focused on that for the last month. My shop is blessed with tons of work right now. And weekly yard work. Not to mention my wonderful 6 year old daughter who I try to give up hours here and there to spend time with while it is summer time.

So what I'm really trying to say is I have not touched the mustang in like 3 months lol. It is seriously one thing after another..
Now that the power tour is over I am going to try to get serious about getting it back together.

I am only planning on running three races this year. Norwalk, Bowling Green and Indy. And maybe some smaller races in between those dates. I'm laying low a bit this season. So much going on right now.


Charlie, I'm sure you are starting to feel what I'm saying about the daughter part. lol.

Sad day for me guys. I sold this car as a roller to a guy in Las Vegas. The car ships out in the next few days.
I'm going to get into soming else for a while. Maybe an old truck with a turbo motor or something cool like that. Hell I'm loble to put a turbo 5.3 in my 57 belair 4 door with white walls lol.
We as in family are wanting to do more camping and traveling so we picked up a sweet travel trailer. So now in BG KY I will be staying at the campground and spectating. It's kinda fun to not have the pressure of running a car all weekend. I can goof off and screw with people more lol.
I will be back into another project vehicle soon with a LS based motor I'm sure.
But I felt it was time to give drag racing a break for a few years. Next time I will be back in a GM bodied vehicle to not limit what classes I can run it.

I will be posting the rest of my setup for sale in a few days when the car is gone. I have some nice items to sale if people are looking.

Thanks for everyone's help along the way!
