Any chance of the group getting back together anywhere else this summer?

I think this was a one time deal. Getting the cars togther is tough. It worked in Des Moines because two of the car are in a collection there now.

Hot Rod is doing a feature on the cars so look for that this fall.

Last winter you mentioned something about a possible reunion in NKC, was hoping to see that happen so close to home. Heck, I'd like to see just one of the cars in person...

Still loving the seats BTW, thanks again.

The best compliment a Man can receive!

(sorry just read more, not copying Sieg, I miss my Dad, he sounds allot like yours)


Thanks for all that you share, it is inspiring.

Amazing collection of cars right there, and every one a step forward in performance.

Beautiful craftsmanship.

Congrats on making the show, Mark!

I'm considering those Finspeeds for my '69 but that's still at least a year out.

They look great and the whole car looks amazing.

Great job Mark.

Update
 
Sorry it has been a few month since I posted a JA 2.0 update.

This project has had a few more sorting out issue than most of my last projects. I think it was due to some old parts and some new and everyone including myself has gotten much busier.

So we finally have it up and running and running well.

The engine layout worked out great and the extra intercooler spacer gives the engine a little differnt look.

One issue we chased for a bit was a fuel delivery issue. On the chassis dyno it would drop fuel pressure. With the help of Carl Casanova at VaporWorx we sorted it out. I need to flow 2.3 gallons a min at 60 psi to support my power levels on E85. With 2 CTS-V pumps and a boost a pump we can do it. The car is putting down well good solid numbers now. Before everybody gets all what kind of power does it make--- Let me say I think chassis dyno numbers are a bit of BS. I just wanted to verify the fuel system and the calibration without going to jail. I was doing 3rd and 4th gear WOT on the hiway and it was getting a bit sketchy.

I've got about 1400 miles on the car now and it runs strong. The E85 has been a fun experiment. I have a station 4 miles from my house that has it. It is cheap but I go through it fairly quickly.

Matt at Sled Ally made a cup holder / phone holder / Lat Long Sensor cover for the car.

We also added Gen 2 mirrors so I can have mirrors on both sides of the car. Much easier to drive.

Mark what is your feeling on how the temps are working out? Its very interesting esp with JA's new cooler package and the swap to the bigger bricks (and cooler running E85).
