Hi Guys! Ralph invited me over so here I am! My name is Andrew. I own a metal fabrication shop. MFCHASSISWORKS. I've been in business for 16years. I've done everything from custom art work for Vince Neil of Motley Crue , restoring HEMI cars , building old hotrods bodys, 8 second street cars to blacksmithed iron sculptures. I'm located in Cornwall, Ontario Canada. I like leaf springs and any car that has them. I currently have 2 1970 SS396 Camaros. One is an L78 4spd RS car.and a 1935 Ford 5 window coupe. I really am enjoying the challenge of this type of racing!

We will run the car again this year. The tires were as virgin as you can get, nothing added and nothing removed.

First EZ pass mid 12 w 1.907 60ft time

then broke the distributor and ran a 15 but got a 1.71 60ft and 4.735 330ft.

I weighed the car and it was 3640 driver no fuel.

I wanted a base line for the tires so I left them as is. Also that was no ballast.

Just as a side note this car has got high 1.20 60fts with a different motor and NOS. but the same suspension.

Happy ... at first no but the data shows we are on par with others right from the start.

Excited YES!!

The shop is busy! The repairs have started, I also checked the timing chain and it stretched abit. New valve springs... OH WELL... This motor is just something we put together with stuff we had around the shop. The new motor will be fine and have more power. We just want to run it again this year to learn more about the tires.
