Rick won his class at Indy's "Beat the Heat Championship" last weekend.

Still working on small punchiest items on the car and getting my garage cleaned up. Hung up some parts that will go on if I ever take it to 100% stock.
Mocked up the engine torque bracket. The bracket that bolts to the subframe was made/installed by the above-mentioned Rick Wilkin back in the early 70's. The bracket was still on the car when I bought it. I made a new strap based on a description from Rick. During the resto, I had the mounting holes in the subframe welded up. The bracket now has dummy bolt heads JB welded to the bracket with a soft pad stuck to the underside to prevent scratching the subframe.
Plan to bring the car up to the COPO Shootout in Norwalk this weekend. Not ready to take it down the track yet, just plan to display it next to Don Marten's ZL-1. Stop by and say hi if you're going to be there.
