John, that is a great plan,, have fun and enjoy the process. The design, the build, the re-do's, then the actual running... I agree I enjoyed the entire process with the Vicky and had lots of help, both hired professionals, friends and volunteers.. But once we ran for and got a few records last year, the bug had bit me hard and I wanted records on the "SALT",, knowing that the Vicky met the objective it was designed for and that that body style would not handle well or have the slick areo needed foe 212 mph + at Bonneville, the search was on and now I / we are in the midst of the Studebaker build,,, Oh my but record fever hit me with the new Vicky motor and yesterday on the second pass on the new motor it had a problem,,, I am hoping it will not cost much and didn't tear up to much inside her,,,, a big repair bill will set the Stude build back again....
Keep up the good work and keep us all posted,,,,
Thanks for sharing,
Charles
