Kira and I are now proud owners of a Stock Car!  Actually more Kira's than me!  The above picture was also taken 12 years ago when it was first built! It's now retired sitting in our driveway. The purpose of buying the car was for the 360 motor that sits in it! You should hear this motor purr when it comes to life! Music to the ears! She got one heck of a deal on the motor (I bought the rest of the car for additional parts for my car) ;D   Motor has less than 5K miles on it. It was sure fun to rev it a couple of times while I was moving it around!  |

Congrats Kira & Gordon, The Dart is getting closer and closer to being finished and ready to tear the track up! What parts are you going to use for the Magnum?

Glad you got it Gordy! Is the 360 going in the Dart? Yep, it will be going in the Dart. You'll have to swing by and I'll start it up for ya! All I need is an excuse! ;D That stock car look like alot of fun. It sure would be fun to take around the oval track a couple of times! What parts are you going to use for the Magnum? Ha, no parts going in the Magnum. Any parts I'm able to glean would be for the Valiant. I'm mainly after the front disk breaks and the transmission (as well as the aluminum radiator if we don't end up using it in Kira's Dart). So what did she pay for it ? $2,500.00 for the motor and $250.00 for the rest of the car. We saved her at least $3K from having to start from scratch. I'll post a video of the car running soon, I hope. |

Hey Gordon, what kind of front and rear suspension does it have on it? Oh and does it have some sort of fuel cell?

Thanks everyone, Kira is really excited!
The front and rear suspension will most likely eventually find it's way onto my Valiant, parts of it anyways. It also has a fuel cell, however it is a larger one.
