Default Time to turn the Page

Well, it's final time to officially say good bye to the Money Shot and hello to the Silver Surfer. Last year was one wild ride and as many of you know I mean that literally! Thanks to many good friends and supporters I am lucky enough to be able to kick off 2013 with an appearance at the Detroit Autorama Mar 8-10 and then it's time to start testing and getting ready for a strong 2013 race season!

Here is the finished design before the final assembly begins tomorrow:












As the assembly progresses I keep the updates rolling!

Thanks again!

Tom

Thank you! The short block is back together and should be ready to go back in the car next week. We got the wiring mostly done last night too. I'll post updates shortly.
