73 Duster build named Fred
Some of you may know that I am taking a road trip to Vegas (LVMS) in less than 2 weeks to run Fred for the first time. It’s their bracket racing season opener on Friday the 26th and round 1 of the Sumimit Racing series on Saturday and Sunday (27-28). I’m scrambling to get the last little bit done before we hit the road on the 24th.
Tonight after work, I got the line lock plumbed and wired, brakes bled and line lock tested (sorry no burnouts…. lol). It’s a temporary install an I’ve decided to redo all the brake lines when I get back as I am seeing some stuff I want to do differently.
Tomorrow I’ll install the trans blanket since I couldn’t find a CSI shield in stock anywhere and didn’t want to wait until the last minute to get something installed. I can swap that out at a later date if I end up getting the CSI shield.
I’ve gone over the car numerous times looking at everything, especially the items that will be looked at in tech since I would hate to make the trip and not be able to run.
I’ll give it one last inspection this coming weekend, change all the fluids and get it ready to load up In the trailer next week. I
don’t think I’ve ever been this ready with more than a week to spare before going to a race. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself. :rolleyes: :p
