Update from Paul and Joe, they are making great progress. Brian Thomson has my engine togther. Lots of fun stuff happening.

Only 24 weeks until SEMA......

Hey Mark I'm a little late to the thread, looking forward to seeing the car, a cool build as always.

Wheel/tire sizes for this one?

I’m still debating that. I’m package protected up to a 285 front and a 345 rear. I need to evaluate the current 200 tread wear tires that are out now and determine which ones are the best for all events.

They bolt on so I’m not worried about it.

They could change a few times prior to SEMA.

Mark congrats and again the pics do not do justice to how well tailored this car really is. It was great and refreshing to see a 67-68 body build to break the 69 ice, and the subtle and not so subtle details on the car really made the ride pop!

Congrats Mark on the OUSCI win, and to all the other runners that posted impressive times.

Well the "Home Run" plan is to have the car at Holley's LS Fest in Sept. Looking at all the work that is a stretch goal. But it is a great event and I would like to be there. Paul and Joe are telling me I'll have the car back July 1. I'm taking two weeks’ vacation to hammer out the wiring and the plumbing then start assembling the car. With a lot of help from some key people I could make it. We'll see. I still have my day job and I’m getting to old for the “all nighters”…

The big critical part is the wiring. My projects are approaching a factory Corvette system for complexity and that is the long lead item for the assembly. Luckily I have my notes from Red Devil and we should be able to copy a lot of that.

I could have the car “running” at LS Fest and tell the magazines they can’t shoot it yet. That is an option. I took Red Devil to Motorstate a couple years ago just done and it was a fun event.

The big goal is SEMA. If we just test prior to SEMA and show up with the car there that could be the fall back plan.
