Car's ready (actually haven't touched it since the last race last year), I'm ready, weather is not! As soon as I get my wife's T/A going with a new 400 and transmission, I'm going to do a few upgrades to mine - radiator, electrical, pistons and rods, trailer hitch

I'm still waiting on my engine machine work. Any day now, I hope to go pick it up. Then I'll need to find the time to work on my car, and get it back together, that will be the hard part.

Mines still in the trailer loaded and ready to go. April can't get here soon enough. I'm getting ready to put back together my old spare engine to stick in the car early in the season while I get the big one freshened up. At least that's my plan.

Just finish putting the oil pan back on. Done with the rebuild. Slap it back in there and start plumbing for the injection. Be ready to go racing in April.
