    Some sad news, my car made it's last pass on September 14th when I shattering a lifter resulting in some not so pleasant carnage. I already pulled the motor and am in the process of a freshen up, but with that said the decision was made to retire the car. With the car getting faster and faster it needed to have a full cage and I was pushing the limit on leaf springs so Ill be selling this as a rolling chassis. I think it best to pass it on as a complete car, also I really didn't want to cut it up.

    As one door closes a new door opens. I have since acquired a 71 rolling chassis shell to replace it, it's a big tire car with a 4 link and I already have the body work and paint done. Currently I am working on finishing up the cage. I really hope to have it ready for next season.
