Late Model Finally Home……..Now The Marathon Begins
I picked up the Late Model from Jason Legge who has been very helpful to me this winter. We have a long list of things to do. We don’t want to miss any scheduled events, it’s important to keep our streak of 753 consecutive nights going.
The next few weeks will be intense, but it’s the only way to be ready for opening day.
The list is quite long, can’t really post it here but some things include getting the nose and fenders painted, picking up the engine from Bennett Chevrolet in Cambridge today. Installing all the bolt on parts, a complete maintenance of the car, all fluids and install the drive line.
The body panels, being painted by Josh Watson will be done the middle of next week. If all goes well, the car will be ready for the body panels to be installed and be completed by the following weekend, April 30th. It then goes to Steve Lyons for lettering on May 2nd. Steve Lyons, will do his magic, he hopes to have it done by Thursday or Friday, opening day is May 7th. Going to be close, going to be tight, but the good news is that Lloyd and I will get some much needed help from Ken Bayliss who answered my posted plea on face book for help……thank you Ken, our racing family is awesome. More soon. 🙂
