If your ever over at the drag strip and (if you know him) see Mike Franks tell him Jon said hello. I used to pull my junk up there and race every once and a while. I am not sure if he still runs the track at Fulton still. He is a great fella for sure.

I've been to the Fulton track a few years ago, but haven't been in quite some time, though. It's about an hour drive from me. I usually raced at Byhalia, which is 15 minutes from me. Also, at a few times at Holly Springs and of course the big track at Memphis Motorsports Park.

I haven't done any racing or been around any tracks much since a sold my TransAm a few years ago.

What part of North Alabam are you from?

Thanks Only a true car guy can appreciate what it looks like right now. It resembles a calico cat to me right now

I've bought the rest of the primer I needed to get the prep stage finished this week, so I plan to get back at working on the car. I decided to purchase some Evercoat Slick Sand, as I feel this car would benefit from it. I've been trying to work with some waves in the roof across the front at the windshield and just can't seem to get it completely where i want it with just body filler. Also, the NOS quarters I bought and installed had some minor damage to the driver's side from sitting around so many years. The quarters at where they make the bend into the tailpanel have some stamping imperfections in them there, so working on getting the smoothed out there.

Hopefully within a week or two I can have the car in its final primer. Block sanding on the body filler and really given my shoulder fits. I'll just have to deal with that and work through it as quick as I can.

I revel the day I can see this thing together and in paint!

Good grief! I should proof read my posts before I make them. Hope everyone can understand my broken English

Trust me all that body prep will pay off in the end ! More you block the better the results. I'm tired just looking at it!

LOL! I think we all have some part in jacking the language up. I know I definately do. Anyway I am pretty close to Huntsville and I may have posted wrong but I did a bunch of racing at Byhaila. Mike and his dad Carlton ran both of those tracks.

Thanks, I'm trying to be as meticulous as possible making sure I don't miss anything. I didn't get this far and $10,000's of dollars to skimp at the end. Wanna come help?

Did they drive an early 70's Camaro?
