As always................real nice work Graeme. I think you and Sam (Mockingbird) should open up a Day-2 Shop together. You could both quit your jobs! Attention to detail and work quality is unsurpassed with you two guys.

Thanks guys...

Means a lot coming from so many of the guys I've been watching wrench on cars for years now. Day 2, slicks, wheels, intakes, carbs and ignitions. It all rocks and I truly like all flavors of it be it full or partial.

I was hoping to get lots done today but it's (flipping cold) snowing to beat the band here and today was a total write off. My neighbor came over around 2 PM to get lubricated, then we had to get our other neighbor to come pick us up and to go to town for pizza and yup...more lubrication. I'll get back on the wagon in the AM, but first I need to find the Advil for the morning. (lol) It was a fun night,

10 AM Sunday, fed and had my 3 cups of caffeine. Still snowing and blowing and still pretty cold here. Managed to give myself a sore back from moving a bunch of snow yesterday but it's time to get back to work again. Doubt I'll have enough time to setup and play with the Rev Pol ignition so I think I'll leave that until later in the spring and install an MSD kit for the time being. I'll stash the controller in the glove box and should get it all wired in today. Then the seats can bolt back in while getting the engine bay buttoned up tomorrow. Looking to fire it Tuesday and test the clutch/trans with a quick roll out into the snow bowl (maybe a quick donut with the slicks on). From there it's time to reinstall the front clip and get it cleaned up to hit World of Wheels on Thursday. Going to drive it in with open headers which should open a few eyes at setup. Here's another view of that foreign Pistol Grip that my neighbors were diggin' on last night.

Looking good Graeme. Does my heart good to know that you would even "think" to back that bad boy out in this weather for anything.

Those guys always ran good with both their cars back in the 70's early 80's.

I was just talking to a friend of mine Saturday about the Checkmate cars. Here is Mike Keener's '69 COPO that he raced in '72.
