Took 6 years, but I'm finally starting my new race car.
Back in 2005 life was good and I was racing my 67 Super Gas Barracuda. Then came time to pay for my daughters wedding and BAM! I had to sell the race car,26' enclosed trailer. even the Honda 150 elite scooter. It was a sad day indeed. But 6 years later I'm expecting my first grandson, and my daughter is still married to a great son in law and they are doing fine. So it was all worth it. After I sold my race car I promised the wife I wouldn't build another one until I retired. Well Sept 13 2011 I retired after 28 years as as fireman. So it is game on. I have been buying race parts all along and storing them for the day i could start building my new car. Well today I took my 68 Dart Sedan to Orlando to have Guitar Jones or Steve and his buddy Lyle for them to install a backhalf frame section and install the 10 pt. cage. Ah life is GOOD! Steve is going to post some pictures as he makes progress. I posting a picture of my old SG 67 Barracuda and then post some picture of the start of my New soon to 68 NSS Dart.
