58. maybe...maybe not!

Wow what a few days Ok so I did say that we could not make Shakey on the 19th as there was no way the car would be ready on time...but!!

Over the last two days Steve has not stopped working on the car, thanks to some help fromm the guys in the Wild Bunch the oil pressure switch is on the torque converter has been filled and put in place, gearbox is on and the coupling has been sorted so now we have the complete drive train....


The brakes will be finished tonight and our associate crew member Ali is coming round tonight to sort out the wiring and wire in the air/fuel sensor and trans brake.

I ordered the spark plugs from Real Steel this morning so fingers crossed they will arrive tomorrow which means...if we can get her fired up..and Steve is hoping to do this on Thursday we might still be able to make the 19th at Shakey after all.

So even though tomorrow is my birthday I will spend it sorting out my fire suite and helmet and trying g to find some spare boxers as this engine should dam well fly...hopefully up the strip and not just up!!!

So Steve has managed to get the car from this..............


To this...nearly ready to fire up..........


...in under a week..wow and there I was thinking I would never see the car in one piece again LOL..what a team, what a crew chief, what a son...see you all at a track very soon.
