I accidentally did the Dragon coming home in my wife's SUV. I was considered a "backmarker" in the race. Lots of people not very happy.

I make a lot of project lists. I usually find them about a year later. The good thing is that I see stuff on the list that I never got around to doing. So, consider it done!

Not sure about the 3 wire oil pressure, or the 87a wire (looks like it's not used), so that is good. Either should work.

Nice I like the bare bones look. A long time ago, I wrecked my Triumph TR6. I removed the front end including the fender wells to go to a frame shop. When it was done, I asked them if i could drive it, they said it was "drivable". Went and picked it up and drove home in the rain. At speed...

Mike, you are using aluminum pipes also, correct? I assume your entire system (pipes, mufflers) is welded together, no clamps?

Started on the XPS buildup of the perimeter glued to the frame: FRAME GLUED ON BLOCKS

$350 sounds like a good deal. There is a reference to a harness for $245 but you would also need some type of ECU. The old GM ECU is probably the best deal.

Nice video. My dad was one of those people that thought the invasion of rear engine cars in Indy was going to ruin racing forever. He took me to a race when I was a kid in ~1965. His favorite driver was Jim Hurtibise who spent years racing an old front engined Offy, until he couldn't qualify...

Thanks, I had one of those. The fit was awful. It would be easier to modify a stock 68 hood.

The YT video of the Gurney Indy car ended with a link to a video about the 3.0liter V12 F1 car. Really good "how it was made" info.

ACI is 200 miles from me. I do have a collection of hoods to do what I want. I should be working on that now so that I can get the car to paint. I've been working on this car so long all the painters I had in mind are dead!
