New intake, chassis changes, 3500lbs....9.68 (no bottle, steel fenders, iron block & heads, 4-spd)

He's still getting used to hitting second with 3 feet of air under the front tires. He says its "violent".

I don't have any recent pictures. It has a different hood on it now.

Chassis has been done for a while (except we're still looking for a pair of 9.00-14 whitewall cheaters), just received a new set of Jardine tri-Ys from Jerry like the originals he made for the real car. Chassis will be on display at York in July. The body has been stripped, new floor panels and trunk well are in. Working on some patch panels to address some quarter damage. It gets worked on every day.

I thought Donny White or Tony Hemi had a set of Atlas Buchrans for you?

Sam, We have no leads at all for the tires we need.
9.00-14 wide white 2 groove cheaters. I believe the originals were recaps according to Jinks. They were slicks, not Bucrons. If we find a dried up set, they'll do for display, but this car will be making full passes, not just dusted off for static displays so a pair of "good" tires is a must.
