Howdy gang! Back from the dead, and still going strong. It's been a long winter here in Western CO but all is well. The 57 I've been working on is on the down hill slide, and its turning out rather nicely.
My new driver is growing like a weed, and he has got to be the happiest fella in the whole land, he's always got a smile on his face.
After much consideration, I have decided that Ol' Hank is going to sit quietly in the shop this summer while I spend some quality time with Momma. She has two boys, not counting ours, and we didn't do much last summer due to me scrambling on the car. I'm going to use this summer to try like crazy to make up for that lost time. They're only kids for so long! I will definitely be at SpeedWeek, but once again as a spectator. Our middle boy Tanner is 13 and can't wait to go with me this year. I hope it makes an impression on him, and that he gets the car bug also.
The time off has allowed me to get some more pieces parts stashed away for Hank, and it's also allowed for some changes in our engine. There's some things we wanted to do and didn't have the time to do it, but now that's different. The only problem I foresee is that my fire bottles expire at the end of this year. If anybody has the info on how to get them re-certified, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Here's a couple pictures of the 57. Enjoy! And I'll keep you lot updated from here on out!
