What state of disrepair is your DW entry in at this point?

Waiting for some parts to show up from Speed Way to make it legal (turn signals).

Still have not made it to the track with the carb set up. Sunday I will be test day.

OH YEAH!!! If it says "Indy" on it, you can bet it may screw up!!!! You're lucky you don't have water puking out an exhaust port like I did with a brand new set of Indy 440-13 heads on the dyno, and Russ would not do a single thing about it!

Went to pack up the trunk tonight and the friggin key wouldn't turn Pulled the back seat out and popped the trunk from the inside and found the lock cylinder broke. So at the moment it's ghetto style with a screw driver to open the trunk. If the parts stores have one in stock I'll pop one in tomorrow.

My shop has a leak.



And so do my t-tops!!!!

James - it's a bit ghetto - but desperate times

(if the NPD warehouse in Michigan has Ttop gaskets in stock let me know - I could pick them up for you tonight before I leave)


Get out the silicone and saran wrap - put beads of silicone in the problem areas, then put saran wrap over them, then put the t tops on, let it dry, peal the saran off - and you've made a new weather strip that will seal for a while.

[BBR]

They normally do not really leak. Only when you have a massive downpour like we had yesterday with buckets of water falling from the sky. I'm taking some tape and will seal them manually if we have huge rain! Just gotta dry my seat out today!!!

[Beagle]

what is that shiny stuff? Looks like water?

[BBR]

Yeah, it makes my car look somewhat presentable!

[nesabo]

not seeing to much in the way of "down pour" weather in the DW forecast.

[Beagle]

I looked this morning and it looks like 60s at night and 90's in the day. Pretty badass camping weather!

My car is now in better shape than the driver, if I can get the side window in without tearing things up. Driver may core dump and crash while GF drives to Tulsa. I am, as usual, completely unprepared to participate and fully prepared to WING IT!

James is an over achiever - look at that showoff, waxing his driveway.

[BBR]

It's not a driveway!! It's my shop!!!

Don't feel bad Beagle, Scott Smith posted this last night...

When's drag week?

[TheEngineWorks.com]

^^^. Looks about as bad as mine.. :-(. I've worked 7 day weeks till after midnight for just about 7 weeks now.. It's tough when you're a single dad, and still gotta run a small business, but I've tried, just too much left to finish on the car.
