[BaadAssGremlins] Amc Team update

["Davis" <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it's been a while since I have posted. Been busy with work then 
got laid off so started workin on the black car and the RWB car. The 
black car I decided to run oct 1st at Lebenon Valley. I went with it 
last year and made 3 runs 12.89, 12.66, and a 12.67 @107. This year 
the car will look like hell as it still needs a new DS rear quarter( 
I rebondoed it)and it will be in grey primer. I have spent the last 2 
weeks working on the body. I finished sanding the car to bare metal. 
Had some dents in the roof to dolly and fill. Cut out rust and welded 
new metal in the top of the DS fender( bought better fender and hood 
at chilson show but need to pick it up in Mass.) The repair made will 
sufice for the track. Stripped and fixed small dents in doors. 
Painted all bare metal with a coate of self etching primer. Then the 
whole car has 2 coats of NASOn primer-fil. Grey Primer filler. I put 
the windows back in, bumpers back on, tail lights in, and finished 
cleaning the interior of previous roll cage that is now in the RWB 
car. I just need to add a grille and install the hood. Then I need to 
bring it to have the front end aligned. last winter I rebuilt the 
front of the car. Bead blasted everything, new bushings, new inner 
and outer tierods, new idler arm, new pitman arm, new v-8 hd coil 
springs, and new lakewood drag shocks. The engine is unchanged. still 
has 140K miles and may blow up at any time, who knows?  Car will be 
lighter this year as the roll cage is gone ( not required till 11.5 
but really cause I don't have the time to install the new cage I have 
for it)I will change all the fluids, and I have a demon 850 carb to 
swap on if I get time. maby I will get a 12.5 outta it this year? 
 The RWB car now has roll cage, frame connectors, moroso battery box 
in the back, rci 8 gal fuel cell, 1/2" line to holley black to barry 
Grant filter, to holley regulator to holley 750 , hornet dash painted 
black replaces the old aluminum dash, racing seat installed, shifter 
installed, car is wired up for preliminary running. Car runs and I 
ran it thru the gears yesterday on jack stands. There is a fuel cell 
leak( the bung), there is a tranny leak to investigate, brake line 
leaking , so there is much to do and the engine is still bone stock ( 
have 291-c heads and torker intake, roller timming set, and summit 
big cam for it but now that season is over I may go a different 
direction. O ya installed msd 6al and mallory unilite dizzy and accel 
coil. 
 Today is the wifes b-day so I will not work on the cars till 
tomorrow. I was able to write this long post cause she is still 
sleeping.
 Anyone from BAG going to Mopar/amc day at the Valley? Lebenon Valley 
dragway lebenon NY.

to it. car looks and runs AWSOME! My digital camera broke so I will
