  Jon give Courtney Hizer a call in Rome, Georgia.  He runs a Buick GN at BVille and has run a V6 in the past.  He was tied into the Buick Indy Car program and has (or had) a lot of factory speed stuff.  He is also one hell of a nice guy.........(706) 235-2101

We spent several days working on the car and trailer this weekend.  Instead of putting 2 x 4s on the pedals for Jon and cutting a couple of inches out of my legs, we figured a way to move the pedals forward 2 inches for Jon and back 2 for me. 

We also worked up a plan for lateral restraint, the secondary scatter shield to protect all the fuel lines from our SFI Bellhousing, reworked the battery installation for better access, fixed a couple of trailer tires, checked the trailer bearings, axles and brakes, got the trailer VIN inspected and celebrated Jons birthday.

Sorry, no blow by blow on this fight, we know it runs from the video, hope to throw it on the dyno in June the next time I go out.  MSA built a couple of wheel adaptors for that purpose.  It is entered for speedweek... and we also are changing the number since 41 was taken already... have that started also...
we will be 1411, Amo Steele Streamliner Racing

Poke, you must not have looked at the pictures, the driver sits facing away from the engine....  :roll:  I guess for the semantics crowd I should have said toward and away....  closer and farther... up and back... shorter and longer.... or just say I was talking about the relationship in the cockpit, not the car...  :-P

Well hell Stainless about summed it up in a nutshell... He came in Last Wednesday night for my birthday BBQ.... The next morning after three attempts to get me out of bed to go work on the car he gave up... I was up from 3 am to 9 am working on my AB workout... This is the type of workout that you cant say no too... Dry Heaving every 15 minutes for 6 hours straight.. My pregnant wife was not to happy about that....

Stainless has been working on some little details of the car like he had mentioned... Working on new lettering for the car, had to carve away some of the dash to accomodate stainless and get the pedals fully adjustable... So that meant getting a new clutch master, changing config of the pedals, and adjustable, throttle linkage... Flushed out cooling system, new battery box and also head restraint system. Trailer needed some small work like just taking everything apart and servicing... Found some broken stuff in the brakes on the trailer...

Stainless brought out our Tow Rig a 99 Dodge 3500 5.9 diesel... While he was here he was hot rodding it and blew out the clutch in it, so today I got to put on in... He flew home yesterday to kansas.

So now is just more planning for the next trip out next month to get it all finished, put on the dyno (MSA made some nice adapters to get it on a dyno without removing the engine), get chassis back in the body etc etc.

Fun stuff...

What a joy to see u posting again, Jon.

Strong AB's are important for the next party.

Welcome back.

I have compassion for Keilani.

You people are still on my Christmas card list. I had the envelopes addressed and the letters and foto stuffed but the increase in

postage threw me a curve. If Stainless returns before Speed Week I'll put his name on your envelope and that will handle two

families with one stamp, unless it pushes it  overweight. If there is postage due, take your letter out and return Stainless' letter.

He can read yours. That will make our Stimulus Check go farther.

Okay, forgive me -- is "AB" a west-coast thing?  What the heck?
