A little time off to regroup. Finish my D440 project. Then I got a new car under wraps. Will take 2 years to finish it

Congrats on the sale! Make the next car even more beast-like!

I can't wait another 2 years for the next 71 SF GT restoration ... I need some previews now !!!

The new car is smaller, lighter, safer, more adjustable & should be faster

 

[Wollfen]

[C Body Bob]

Allen Spence from Atlanta

I keep thinking this name is familiar ... did he mention FBBO at all and why is a guy from Atlanta over there in NC buying your racecar?

Beautiful car, Bob. Mind posting some pics of her for old times sake?

no he did not. He did mention MOPARTS. He's been running round track cars. Wanted to get back in drag racing. I advertised it on Facebook 2 weeks ago. Allen sent a deposit & I've been holding it for him to come pick it up. He & his family are big into MOPARS

Sad to hear it's gone, but it sounds like you have it all figured out.

If Bob has not bought a new body shell to build up I think I know what car he is doing. If so it will be a sweet vehicle to see once done.

Is it a Mopar?

Cricket?

 

[C Body Bob]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I had a guy bring his Chevie over here for me to work on his engine. It was here 2 weeks & now my tool box has started rusting

Early Barracuda in the workshop?

 

[C Body Bob]

URGGGGG Yep that's it. I don't remember you seeing that. I'll get it out soon. Give her a bath & put her in the shop where "The Beast" slept. I'll take some pics then
