I may come up and follow you guys around :goggles:

Follow? You might be the pace TRUCK. :goggles:

Progress is good! Griggs Racing has done quite well with that setup...

I'll hope to see this car on the track this year, when I momentarily crawl out from under my rock...

I should hope it will see a track this year... so far so good with Cortex!

That's great news

Quit holding out ... :idea:

Sweet Torque Arm
 

Not going to shake that loose anytime soon

Wait, did they add a 68 Camaro to iracing?

I figure that would be the only way it would see a track this year.

Greg liked iracing so much he went and got himself a Miata.

Hey now. Not everyone has a contractual obligation to make weekly post updates. :stirthepot: :D

I think it should stay connected in there. :lol:

Ouch Bob. That cuts. That cuts deep. :tv_happy:

Don't get me started on that Miata deal.... :lostmarbles:

Cortex is working on a few things right now but nothing was really picture worthy. Rear end is getting provisions for the diff cooler I picked up at Roush and it is being sent out for powdercoating.

Headers are cut and waiting for LCA's to be installed so some tubing cab be bought to bridge the gap of 2-3" that each primary needs. Probably will get those pieces from SPD in Sac.

Crick (fab guy) has started making the remaining transitions needed for the 5" x 2" flat bottom exhaust to connect to the 3.5" collectors at front and the 90*'s at the rear.

They have modified my LCA's for about 3" of back side clearance for the headers which they will be fitting next.

Six or seven YEARS and untold 1000's of dollars and that's all you got??

:lmao: :lolhit:

For some it takes longer than most to get it all together..... take that Ron in Socal guy or instance... :action-smiley-027:


And yes that is a very expensive and exotic control arm. :idea:

:BlahBlah:

You proved that fact with your first child.......cars should be different.

Strike while you still can!

:)

His crap is measured in DECADES and 100,000's of thousands.... and
he still won't have a custom UCA.... LOL

Is that a good thing or bad thing? :lostmarbles:

Both I think :lol:

:D :cheers:

Cortex using some 321 stainless from SPD to lengthen the primaries.

Looking great Dave!! :thumbsup:

Heard a rumor that lil FlashJr got very animated when he heard BMF is scheduled to finished by his 16th birthday. :relax:

Nice that some very noteworthy people also adhere to the relaxed pace philosophy... of course sometimes there's pushback.

That's it! I'm going straight to CorteX this week to see if this thing is moving along or not. I'm certain that within an hour of showing up - the car will be sitting outside the shop and I'll have been thrown out with it. And with this build - that would be considered "progress".

He might have to take this project over well before his 16th to finish it. :D

Don't you have more important stuff to do? Like make sure the soup has the right amount of Sieg in it. :popcorn2:

Oh and I like you remembered to capitalize the X in CorteX.... good on you. :lol:

where the hell were you 6 months/years ago?? yeah, I know. I couldn't remember either.

ha ha ba ba ha ha !! lets go Greg

You guys aren't helping. But I guess you're not hurting either. :lol:

Keep the faith Dave! :lol:

Just in case your thinking of changing directions on the build again!! :lmao:

Just add blue paint!!

Fixed it...

700 hp doesn't even get an eyebrow lift from Super Dave.

Blue paint.........and skinny white Ford stripes.

:D

I forgot this build thread still existed. From reviewing most of the pages, I thought is was a semi-chat room.

Love ya, mean it

That's Pat's car. I'd like to go check that out one of these days.

You got me pegged Stieg. :thumbsup:

Bros before.... ? :lol:

Tuff to get a car built balancing a career, family and ...

ICYMI dept: Just substitute the word 'thread' when GC says 'life', and use 'post' when he says 'day'.


:whenitsdone:

My old Porsche is for sale again in and a prospective buyer PM'ed me asking some questions. I looked at the for sale ad and check out what is playing on the radio. That's gotta mean good things are in my future. Yeah, that's it.

Wow! An unsolicited post from you on your own thread and THIS is all we get? :buttkick:

At least it wasn't about a new mini van

yet!

Well like Payton the more we look at some things we scratch our heads or try to decide to abandon ship and start over or finish what is started. Currently it is the alien (like that Vince?) exhaust system. What a zoo.....

Hopefully we will be on track soon and on to more predictable things like buttoning up sheetmetal and finishing some mechanical and plumbing.

Ha. Not happenin. Wife has SUV and I have back up kid hauler with my new (to me) Crewcab Duramax.
