Chet is doing great --- he ran the car after Kevin Sittner put it all back together.... it works FAR better now with all new suspension and a better motor etc.

Pete's doing great on his clinical trial with chemo --- and he'll be at Sonoma

Big Mike is signed up for Sonoma as well --- he wasn't feeling real well the last time we ran Thunderhill - so didn't run. But came up to visit.

Charley will be at Hot August Nights I think.

I've spent two 12 hours days -- in 104* weather -- in a West facing shop space.... grinding on all the little things it takes to make a track car reliable.... For those that haven't owned one --- it takes a lot of work to keep them in tip top condition and safe!

I must have drank two gallons of water today -- and peed ONCE..... That's a lot of sweating for the uniformed. When I was doing pyro shows -- I'd drink all day -- and never pee. The key -- in heat -- is when you STOP sweating -- you haven't drank enough water. We always watched each other (two pyros on a barge) to make sure you were sweating.

Well -- you get the idea. Some parts are already spoken for.
Let me know if those JRI's are not spoken for... ;)

We'll have to change the title to this disaster now ---- The current status has changed yet again.

Not cutting up ANYTHING..... We're starting from scratch -- building a Ron Sutton Track Warrior ---- complete car per his catalog.... and using a 1970 Mustang body that is being widened 6".

I just couldn't bring myself to cutting up such a great car that already exists. Old Yeller is just too sweet of a track car to do that to. So we'll just start new.

DONE.

There's a lot of sighs of relief going on right now.
I guess you had too much fun this weekend. Glad to hear this iconic car lives to spin out another day:lol:
