Well, lets start by saying I have little in the way of common sense, or at the very least have no idea how to tell what's a good idea and what's a bad idea until I'm upside down and on fire. So, with that in mind I've decided to give building a car to race on the salt an honest to god attempt. This past summer was spent just getting the car cleaned up, and patching up the many many holes. I have a rule book. However the plan for the next couple of years is to run the car at the 130mph club and 150mph club events. Money, build space, time, are all limiting factors and I don't see this car properly competing at SCTA or ECTA events for at least another 2 or 3 years. That is unless there are people in the Portland Oregon area that want to help. So, it comes down to sitting at home complaning about the things I don't have, or, find a class that it can run in with what I DO have. I've chosen to persue the latter.
Anyway, this is how the car currently looks.
I've got a collection going over on google Images of work done thus far on the car. Nothing to really get it specifically race ready, still in the stages of repairing 55 years of abuse on the streets.

But I think by starting at the 130mph and 150mph club events I can be running the car and getting use to driving on loose surfaces at speed much much sooner than I will any other way.
