Jim,

Just give me a ring. Car is ready...it even has REAL wheels and tires on it now. Just progress photos you know. With a light-weight 351 and a little stroke...I'm not sure many of us could catch him. Remember, Jeff Gordon drives one of them "Little Blocks."

I have driven aluminum block 427's several times and I am always surprised by how much difference 50 lbs on the front end makes. Just think if you could ditch 200! I am sure it would be incredible with that 427 chassis/suspension combination.

BTW, we were able to loose 10 lbs/wheel of unsprung mass with the new billet suspension...that's 40 lbs of unsprung mass. It is quite noticable.

John,

Sorry, I have been a little tied up lately with Jamo's and SFCJ's cars. Now on to Toy Collector's and Lew's.

David
