We got the body panels back from PYE Chevrolet. Ian Murphy did an amazing job again putting the beautiful green on the panels. The paint was supplied by PPG. I am very thankful for these 2 sponsors on our team for 2021.
We have some repairs to make on the drive line. Nothing too serious, but the trans has been jumping out of reverse ever since we replaced the clutch discs. We had the transmission out 4 times, so it is quite possible I got something in wrong because the shifter was working fine before that. I want to get it fixed before the body panels go on the car. We will also go over the full chassis to make sure everything is good for 2021.
More photos to come soon.

While waiting for our panels to painted I will post some pictures and stories of the racing with my son David. He was one of the top runners in both the Hobby and Late Model classes.
14 Championships
60 plus Feature wins.
Here is a picture of David’s first win in the Hobby division in 1988.

Now that all our panels are prepared, fitted and adjusted, we have sent all the panels to PYE Chevrolet in Truro for paint. I expect will get all the panels back in 2 weeks, maybe a little longer. The time away gives us an opportunity to completely go over the rest of the car and make sure there are no bent, cracked or wore out pieces. The car will be completely shampooed, then put on roll off stands to allow us better access to all the suspension and chassis parts. We will change all the fluids as well.
I hope to have the car pretty well race ready by late November, including lettering.
I have sent out a few proposals for new partners. There have been a few no’s so far, but praying God opens a door for us to get the funds we need for 2021.

Buttons approves.
We just finished the body panels on the car. The final touches were completed including, trimming the fenders for clearance, body braces, final fit of the hood, the rear bumper, spoiler and rocker panels.
The car goes to PYE Chevrolet for paint the last week of October. While it’s gone we will work on the chassis, cleaning it, thorough inspection of all parts, changing all fluids, battery connections, checking for wore out or loose hime-ends etc.
This will be the quickest I’ve had my car finished for paint, and if we get it lettered and completed by mid November, it will be the quickest race ready project ever…..been fun.
Thanks to Bob, Shannon, Chris and Tyler for spending the time to help get this ready before the snow flies,
Thanks also for visiting our site.

Bob, Chris and Tyler came to the shop twice this week to get the car panels installed and fix a few bent parts, nothing too serious. Our goal is to have the panels, doors, fenders, nose, tail, hood and rocker panels, ready for the final week of October.
Once all the holes are drilled and the body panels riveted in place, they will be removed from the car and sent to PYE Chevrolet for paint.
Special thanks for our sponsor PPG for supplying the paint and materials.
PS….the car will be power washed once all the work is done and panels are out for paint.
We had an oil leak from the power steering that got into the rad. The rad shroud made it impossible to get to the rad, plus at least 4 of the 6 tracks we raced this year were very dusty. Next year we will power wash the car after every race.
