1970 Formula project "Cochise"

Scott, it turned out great! It was the quintessential SEMA thrash.

When I started her up in the OPTIMA corral everyone turned to look. It sounds nasty!

I am real pleased how well everything went at SEMA & Optima.If we could have a few days to work on a better suspension set up.I think Kevin could have done better than 8th. on the road course,and 16th.on the autox.But 7th. for style and design was cool.Maybe the next car I can get get Albert to give me 1 more week to try and make the car look better.

Eric,The car is real nice,but I really needed some more time so little things like small brackets could have been made nicer.I wish we could have time to drive the car more than 2 miles before it left for Vegas.Had it not been pouring rain and also freezing on the way to puhrump fri. night we could have ajusted the shocks and brake bias.The thing drove well on the trip but trying to tell where tire brake bias needed to be would have tough in those weather conditions.It is what is was,so I will just say Thank's to everyone who helped out during the build,Brian Kellison really was 1 that helped so much.Spent full days helping get the fender's,hood,nose all fit up on the car.Saved us a ton of time.Ken Vervnyck stayed to help out w/the interior after he got the wiring finished.Kevin worked tons of hours,but since he got to drive the car,and then had tv's AJ snuggle up next to him after group B quick run.I think that's thanks for him. What a great time.The joke at sema was Everyone asking me to build them a car in 6 weeks.Only 1 a year guy's.

Back from SEMA and the Optima and had a great time..... We tied in 24th place (with a three way split for 24th) at the Optima with a untested new car that ad zero sorting time and feel like we won the Holly Grail.... The cars there were incredible and the drivers were "really good" and for us to have finished the car in roughly 6 weeks and compete,,, well lest just say we were more than happy...

This car, driven by Scott's son Kevin, did what others/many said couldn't be done... It was built in six weeks, driven with no testing and placed in a more than respectable spot in the end... It stayed together untested/sorted,,, and in the morning session of group B held the group speed record on the track at one point.... Congratulations to Scott and Kevin for a job well done guys...

A quick shot at the track
