      Thinking of the statement "welcome to the largest collection of cars that weren't running last week". You do have plenty of time. Maybe it will be closer to Fl. this year.

            Remember - it doesn't have to be pretty!
            Epoxy primer is perfectly acceptable - and so are rust and dents.
            This is going to be a fun one to watch! Go man GO!
            There's always something new to learn.

              At this point, the odds are it's NOT gonna be pretty! as long as it's all one color (epoxy black), I'm good..

                    At speed, your car will be work of art. The only person looking hard at the car, (specifically your taillights), will be the competition!

                        Well... here's my last "hot rod black" (actually it was done intentionally in base/clear), 10 second street car


                        So I'm predisposed to satin black already!

                          Was just trying to make AABob's day by suggesting that idea. (Remember, I am 10 miles from Owasso) Wouldn't mind seeing Tulsa in the mix again this year. Good track and owner. I'ld even like something up North as long as a passport isn't required.
