Patience. He still has a robotics team that is mentoring among everything else on his plate.

He was busy being an undertaker the last week...

 

...and while I was away, they had the game announcement for yet another robotics competition that I want to play, it happens this coming June.

So many fun things to do, so little time.

 

Jim..... been doing any work to the car????? Been awfully quiet here......

heh...it's been awfully quiet here, too. No, I haven't done a damn thing to it, except drive it into town once last week.

 

God I miss az. Lake Ontario this week -2° 35° below with wind chill...

 

Jim, a little off topic, but congrats on the win at the Zip Tie Drags! I saw it on Instagram.

 

Sure is beautiful in the north though.

 

Any updates? is this car going to drag week? Hope all is well.....

 

Another Almost Funny is in the latest issue of Hot Rod Mag...It is about the last Gas Class Mustang car of Stone. Woods, and Bones in the early '70's...

 

I'm signed up for Drag Week this year. There have been a bunch of other things going on right now, and I haven't got started yet making the changes I need to Almost Funny.

It's on my mind, though

 

there's always the week before you leave!

Jim, I am late to that party, and I can't say anything that has not been said. You are a real hero. And we can all tell, you know exactly what you're doing

 

Traditional (more 70s?)Red and Blue Star spangled stripes over the white and/or maybe chrome lettering down the sides?........or the Ice Age squirrel after his nut, coming from the back toward the nut on the front fender?

 

Found this, thought of you

 

At the rate Jim works, one good evening and this thing will be in the 8’s !!

What work do you have ahead; any parts to change or “just” tuning?

Oh, I want to add mechanical fuel injection for the racing part of it....and also I want to take most of the engine and drivetrain apart, to see how it looks, and replace anything that's iffy. And finish the body work (hood and 'glas fenders)

 

I’ll be watching. That is a lot to think about.

And what will you do tomorrow after that?

 

Uh, yeah. That's the problem, I run out of things to do, so quickly.

 

Just adding the hood should make it faster and quicker due to better aerodynamics. At least that’s what the scientific eggheads will say.....

 

Enzo Ferrari said,

• “Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.” ...

 

well, Enzo's dead and they spend millions on aero, so...

 

That should be on a tee shirt

 

Do you know any history of that car? A friend of mine has these hanging on his shop wall. He bought them from some kid who's grandmother had them in a shed full of other neat old car stuff.
