Stan;

I would if I had any more decal material. I don't even have the ol' tried and true drag racing "white shoe polish."

You can buy colored duct tape at craft stores.  Many other uses.

Good idea, Stan-- thanks!

Stan - please, no, perish the thought.

Neil, if it is truly a concern, there are dozens of other options that leave less residue and clean-up.

In the AV business, we tend to have to deal with a lot of people who fancy themselves as stage hands.

       Thanks, Chris!

Make a slash and put it there -- It would be more appropriate.

yeah, That`ll help...............

Better? ( I need to re- position it, though).

In all honesty, if this is the biggest issue you've got going into Speedweek, you're not going to have any problems. 

We will see you in a few weeks.

A close-up of this car - along with a certain small-bore lakester we've been watching - will be the highlights.

I am almost finished with my swing-away lateral head support. In the photo, the support bar looks crooked but when it is bolted down to a flat surface, it is straight up. The bar is held in place by a 1/4" quick-release ball lock pin and to release it to swing away, a lanyard is pulled to drop out the pin. If I can find a good torsion spring, I'll add one (maybe a rat trap spring might work).

Just make sure it's locked into place before you slam the door - they can be hard on Lexan . . .

don't ask . . .

I can believe that, Chris!

My intake manifold has been modified for EFI but I'm currently running a Holley 850 DP so up to now I have been plugging the EFI bungs with injectors. The ID of the bungs measured only a few thousandths over 5/8", so I placed small 5/8" oil galley plugs into the bungs (they were a slip fit into the holes) and sealed them with silicone RTV.

The new push-pull cable throttle linkage is now installed and it is far smoother than the Bowden cable. Now off to work on other things.

Neil, Those plugs will make great "blowoff valves" in case you ever float a valve or something like that.
  Doug, See you in a few.
