Ross, You need to get some good pictures to post because these don't show 10% of how good it looks. Sorry I was busy with the tent or I would have did you proud! (I'm not the tent administrator; just a tent monitor).
The one lesson I learned was not to give Mark the remote control to the QTP exhaust cutouts...it was giving a kid a new toy at Christmas. I knew it was going to be a fun weekend from that point on !!!of course then you got to roar in, only to the delight of us all.
Thanks for not being a BPA member.....Seriously I will work on getting some good shots. Here's the best I have so far.Ross, You need to get some good pictures to post because these don't show 10% of how good it looks. Sorry I was busy with the tent or I would have did you proud!

I would have to add A/C and straighten a button on the dash, Sorry .... Inside joke. Thanks again for the vote of confidence but the car was built to be driven on the street and see some track time(now even go through thunderstorms), I don't think Ridler cars were built with that in mind. My dad is storing a ISCA car and the owner wont even start it for fear of discoloring the engine paint and he always winches it on and off the trailer at shows and pushes around...doesn't sound like fun to me.RIDLER quality.... i said it before and i still believe it
I tore into the Duster today fixing a few things like melted valve cover bolt caps and a faulty turn signal flasher but after I get legal plates I will be driving it around this fall. I didn't drive it there but had it on an open trailer.there's a video on youtube of the 40 Ford 'Checkered Past', Ridler winner from a couple years ago, being driven around by one of the guys?(like Matt Farah) and not being babied. so some(or one) get driven. still some summer left, get out and drive yours some more.
it just dawned on me, if you got caught in a t-storm does that mean you drove it to and from the NATS?
Good analogy, reminds me of a two and a half men episode.It's like my brother said one time "having a nice car and not driving it is like marrying a supermodel and not screwing her!!" LOL
Anything in particular ? You know the cars almost done there's not much left to take pictures of.now that the show's over, i wanna start seeing some pics
Except for not having A/C.Hands down the nicest Duster or any car for the matter that I laid my eyes on. There is/are so many modes that you couldn't catch them all in one viewing. Each time I returned to look it over I found something else that was over the top. Nice job buddy! You killed it!!
Thanks,One of the mods I kept staring at is the bumper tuck....both front and rear. Very similar in looks to the Missile and Wire car except in steel.
You get the gold!
Thanks,
Woody (SilverBullet)thought there fiberglass...I said "nope that would be to easy". Then he informed me he's doing the same thing in fiberglass.
Just being honest ......Way stick your pick in the dirt..
Probably not....it looks fun and very challenging but with 29.5" tall tires on the back I am not really set up for that. And going to a shorter stiffer sidewall isn't the look I really wanted.
i meant pics of the NATS--- anything, everything, the FABO tent, people passed out drunk.... you know, cool stuffAnything in particular ? You know the cars almost done there's not much left to take pictures of.
I guess I'm in that range then...390/40R17 !!!!!Tire in the range of 35-45 would be best for road racing/ autocross, So I was told by my Biochemist BMW Autocrossing friend
Unfortunately I was flapping my gums... In between Tito's and peach snapple and posted all I took, which isn't much. Sorry, maybe another member can help out in the pics dept. I think Davescuda too a couple and 75slant6 already posted onei meant pics of the NATS--- anything, everything, the FABO tent, people passed out drunk.... you know, cool stuff
About 29.3" diameter.I guess I'm in that range then...390/40R17 !!!!!
