Go Sparky Go!

Thanks for taking time out of your day Saturday to chat with me. It's always  entertaining and informative!

Good luck at El Mirage! :cheers:

Yep, that's the new comp coupe configuration. Altered looks the same as in the past.

Thanks guys---the final 3 day thrash is on:
Marty tweaked on a few tank patches with the tig and grinder
I worked on electrical and water yesterday --ran the eng for 25 min to get some heat in the oil and water  will bring it up to 195 again to day then change the oil water and run the valves before John and I finish loading on Thursday afternoon.

I have some minor electrical stuff and 9 point safety harness and a gauge to install then round up the race wheels and tires with wheel disc.

Love the new look. The Comp Coupe looks fast sitting still.

Francis and John are coming by tomorrow to help load Ms. LIBERTY for her coming out party at El M  it has a long time coming. 

She has lots of warts and she will be no beauty queen to most people---

but as I have said most of my life   " It is all about performance, when the sun goes down and the lights are out--Performance is all that counts."  wmts'64

See you on the dirt and the salt

That was worth waiting for. Thanks Sparky.

She looks good but most of all you built her and put her on wheels.

I'm happy for you.
Ms. Liberty already has "character" and that's what counts.
I hope you have lots of fun together.

Sparky, it looks great! Congrats on getting it where you can get it teched!

I have 2 questions, as I'm still learning. Are you going to put inner disc on the front and rear tires? Will there be any 'faring' or anything over the front axles, or will they run as they are?

I can't wait to see this car again in person!
