Update 29/4

Dear fans, a quick update on the preparations for the 2014 Drag Fest. Although I started very late, pushed hard yesterday and got through most of the chassis' nuts and bolds, including Pete's new shoes!

Changed for the first time the rear tires. Since Eric wasn't available I had to go at it on my own. We have gone back to Goodyear's (2922's). And although their roll out are 109, 5 which is a bit on the long side, one or two good burnouts should do the job and get them to were they need be. Lets hope the switch pays off in better runs.

Also had to do some minor repair work on the right cylinder head. I must say, it was pretty cool working on those massive HEMI heads. The fact that we run PISS'D OFF PETE on such a tight budget often seems like a herculean task, however, this all disappears when I spend some time on the car.

Finally, removed the accumulated dust from the body and wiped it clean using our magic potion (Formula 409). Pete is ready to roll.

Thanks for reading and be sure to check back for more updates.
