Broken Wing Project. The 'Bird

I tried but couldn't get enough time to work out the bugs and make a track run. Right before I was ready to go through tech the radiator started pouring water out of it. It may have been a good thing because I lost my brakes trying to get it in the garage last night. Loosing them in the alley was bad enough. Loosing them at the top end of the track may have been alot worse. The car is alot closer than it was a week ago and I will do some work on it after I recoop from this week craziness..

The mad rush for the track

I found a radiator and found my busted brake line tonight. Riggs climbed under the car to help get it off. Riggs helped get the bad radiator out of the car too. I may try to fix the brakes tomorrow depending on how I feel. Some of the guys are going back to the track Saturday. I'd like to buy a carb and see if I can make it. With that 500 cfm carb I'd be lucky to make a 14 or 15 second pass.

I put the radiator in the car but I'm not sure how good the core is. I guess we will find out. While Corey and I were bleeding the brakes I pushed on the back slick and it didn't move. I started looking around and the new rims I bought for the slicks were hitting the calibers on the rearend. About 5 minutes each with a grinder smoothed them out just enough to clear. This test and tune crap at the track is for the birds. I need to tag this thing and work out the bug on the street like I always have. Small things keep coming up and it would be easy to find with just a simple spin around the block. I'm heading to the track today if it doesn't rain. Maybe I'll get a pass.

Track was a wash out again. Seems like all it does is rain on days we have stuff to do. I found a 750 Holley today while I was cleaning out the garage. I have no idea where it came from. I spent about hour and half shaving the choke off and smoothing out some sharp edges. I'm hoping to get Joe to do his magic on it. I could rebuild it but man it seems like he has magic fingers when it come to the Holleys. I may not go to the track this weekend and just wait to get the carb on. I will hopefully get the juice bottle filled and put the plate on it when I put the Holley on it.

Thanks for the roses man ....drop it off and i will take care of it....i sure hope to go to the track this weekend ....im gettin tired of draggin my trailer home every weekend :cry: ....

Cool. I'll drop it off. I have my tow dolley down here if you would rather use it. Save you from dragging the big trailer around.

Got the back rims on & a couple of header bombs.

i got your carb done if ya want to pick it up before i take off today......i didnt try it out on my project x like i always do .......

Thanks for doing the carb Joe. I'm going to put the juice plate on when I do the carb swap. I am looking to suck the blue paint off of an S10
