Just wanted to say hi to everyone. Hope to be racing soon. Cage is done and its in polyester primer. Need to block this all out and then shoot some epoxy primer to seal it all up and then its ready for some paint.

Hey it's me Rapid!
Car is soooo sweeet Vinman! Even in it's present state, you can see how wonderful she's coming along.

I haven't been on here for a bit, as I have the Firebird, and a C4, lol, though you'll remember me for the '70 Ragtop SS/H car, and '69-Z/28 pics) but I am now at Redline, so will pop up more often now.

I look forward to seeing your C2 finished friend soon! Best regards, Rick

Hey Rick hows it going? Yes I remember your cars. I still got the 67 and now will be racing the 66. I'm staying old school with a G force 4 speed. It should be a fun ride, especially out on the street.

It was raced!! Best for the first time out was a 10.46 @129 on a small 28" et street. Not too bad for maple grove. I always loose 3 mph and 3 tenths racing there. I couldnt get the et street to hook as good as I wanted. Im sure with a full slick at Atco or Etown its going to get into he very low tens. It felt good rowing through the gears again.

Artie, send me any pictures you have. Thanks.
