Default I'm Back.......

I picked the car up from Thunder this past Saturday after it being down since November..I put a rod out the side of my 346 after a rod bolt broke and purty much killed the bottom end of the old motor..

Thunder built me a new 402 that is making a ton of power and Madman worked the chassis over..Thunder also pulled another 125lbs out of the car so after it was scaled it came in at 3065 lbs without me in it and 3290 race ready..

Besides the motor Thunder built Brian installed his manual rack ,wheelie bars , lower control arms ,panhard rod , race sway bar and installed adjustable Afco rear coils..He also lowered the car and had the front shocks revalved..I'm sure I've left out somethings so I'm sure he'll get onto my *** about it...

But I just wanted to thank Paul , Brian , Jason and everyone else involved on getting my car back to me ion much better shape then it was when I dropped it off...

I need to get the frontend aligned and we'll hopefully make the race at Evadale Texas on the 27th of this month..

Here is a link to some new pictures I posted on my site.
