Default In route and heading home...

Ingenue being loaded last Sat in MI,if all goes well I should see her on Sunday,here's some pics:










I also received this picture of the front of the motor taken when it was being photographed for a magazine in 1967,you can see the mag drive/timing cover/crank girdle my dad fabricated for the 430 Buick motor.
I have a funny feeling the first two words out of his mouth after he see's this will be "crank trigger",lol...


Chassis detail,basically dad's copy of a Logghe:

So, it must have been on display at the Red Barns Museum in Kalamazoo. I have a friend that had his comp coupe up there, also Al Berglers car was in there too.
You're in good company.

I studied those pictures of the front of the engine and as a former machinist in a past lifetime, that's some nice work.

Great car and fantastic photos. I agree with Mark about the machine work-nicely done. The DRAG NEWS plate is cool as well.
