I have the front suspension in place, and the steering rack, as well. I'm currently figuring out what needs to be what length, to mount the rear wheels, and have the axle ends not poking out of the wheel. Up front, there's touchup, detail paint, and tie rods to make, then I'll mount the brakes, while I decide what color to paint that dadgum wheels! Anyway, it's not a lot, but it is progress. Thanks for looking!

I'm so happy I did it! I'm saving nearly $200/mo. Currently, they're showing the 1963 Winternationals. I've barely taken it off the NHRA channel, since I found it!

That much is true.

I use all three of those. Yeah, I can't see anymore need for cable. I do need to get an antenna, and I wouldn't mind having DVR, of some sort.

They're puke hoses, I'd guess. The probably go into a tank. They are the same thing as these:

I'm hoping to have an update, later. I've had to redo the left strut three times! Twice after paint. Grr. I just re-primered it. I did get the middle section (rack and pinion housing) of the steering done, barring an end cap for the pinion housing.

In the new Museum Annex to your house!😂

That's an excellent idea! Given the size, this beautiful beast will be should provide lots of backdrop space, too.

Recently, I decided that I could no longer afford nearly $300/month for cable. I switched over to straight internet, and bought a Roku stick for $29. I just happened to scroll down their "Live TV" menu, and came across an NHRA channel. I've seen a couple of cool interview segments, one with Snake and one with Force, but it' mostly just been old Diamond P coverage of events. I've seen the '76 Gators, so far now they're running the '92 North Stars, it's just all cool stuff, like that! I am sure I'm late to the party, but, just in case you hadn't seen it...

Looks good! I'd probably go with that engine, and do a Super Gas car. It has the right look.

I just saw this car on a replay of the '76 Gatornationals on Roku!

The fluidity of their change, from day to day, race to race, definitely adds to the challenge. There are almost always some educated guesses involved.

That's the stuff! It's worked great for forty years, or so.

Way cool! I've been wanting one of those F-85s, forever! I'll be check it out!

Yes. Midwest makes it, too.
