What a great set of pictures! Thanks for posting. That car is definitely something to be proud of as well.
What are the wheels on it?

Billet Specialties Comp 5 wheels
Man , that's awesome !!!
Thanks guys. He heard a noise out there so we parked his and he finished the weekend in my as I was driving like crap. He will be going from 4.10 gears to 4.56 gears in his 8 3/4 rearend. He would also like a little more horsepower so we will see what we can do. The Edelbrock heads are about maxed out without moving the pushrod over so I may try a few things since we are going to tear it down for refresh

You gotta be super proud of that.
Not to mention the father son time spent.
I look forward to the day I can run my car against my pops car.
Keep up the good work.

I love racing with my Son. Even at 62 I run my race program 100% by myself and travel to big out of state races without him but it’s more fun when he is there.
Sorry I had to check with him. 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern 10 inches wide, 5 inch back space, stock 8 3/4 axle width. We had to roll the rear wheel well lip with a wooden baseball bat.

I enjoy seeing what you do.
I understand your not a big budget race team but you sure make your stuff work.
Good on ya and your son has a great teacher.

Thank you Sir. I appreciate it
I get several PM’s on Mopar sites weekly and love helping guys. I am lucky to race in Pa and Ohio and we are loaded with lots of great running Mopars. Some tracks aren’t that lucky

I see a lot in you that I see in my pops.
I'm just shy of 40 and when I need a part for my car, if its on the shelf pops will let it go
Keep on keeping on and running quick.

Hey Pittsburg racer, does ypur son drive the car on the street? I ask since you are going to 4.56 gear.

No we are both track only guys. Been there done that 40 years ago and he loves my stories but he's a pretty serious racer. Times are different now.

My car is going to end up more strip than street but will be more street and really no strip.
It basically is my toy.
