    Default Daytona

    Starting the smack a little early...I see that the "racer formerly known as Hollywood" is entered with the Silver Bullet. I guess it was a hiatus, and not an actual retirement

    It should be a fun weekend. No Irishman..YET.

    I might have to go just to see THAT!!! :eek:

    Seriously, I'm chomping at the bit to go, but funds are tight, and I still can't figure out if my 3500 rpm stumble/header glow means too rich or too lean. Too rich I can deal with, too lean...YIKES!!!

    Will probably be there either way though.

    Can you believe it. With the same motor you built way back in...
    1997!!!
    Not a misprint. Can't wait. Just hope nothing falls off.

    Miss you man.

    A huge thank you has to go out to my good friends Jim Cohen and Jay Besch for making her pretty again.

    Chris, your car looks like a race car now. Why don't you push it out onto the driveway and take some pictures. At least we could see it instead of just hear about it.

    Default O.K. Jim, is this what you were looking for?

    Hollywood, You'll have to look in your rear view mirror to see it.

    Sorry Chris, I had to throw that out there. Marc does have a point though. I've heard about you building that car for a couple of years and I haven't seen any evidence that it's not really a New Beatle.

    If you do take that new toy out to Daytona, I hope you take it all back home on Sunday afternoon the same way it looked when you brought it over. Have you had it out yet? If you did, I missed that weekend. Good luck, hope you make it to the track.

    Sorry, its raining right now, so you'll have to settle for in the garage.

    I'm ready....the car and the funds, not so much.

    Maybe I get one in this year, maybe not. Some things have to be prioritized right now.

    Default Sweet Ride

    Chris, That's a really nice looking hot rod. Those wheels look really nice. What are they?

    Looks like you'll have a little work to do to dig it out of the garage when the time comes. I hope you get to run it at least once this year. If not Daytona, then maybe the Spooktacular in Sebring.

    Best wishes to you in your new ride.

    Thanks, Mike. No worries, I could have that baby out of the garage in 5 minutes if needed! Can even drive it around the neighborhood if I want to, just not quite ready for the track.

    The wheels are Borbet Type S that I got from Tire Rack a few years back. Don't know how much they weigh and don't care...they were $69 ea. on closeout!!! I love a deal!
