I always say I am finished with the car, and it is for the most part, but the reality is every I always find something that needs upgrading, fixed or just needs changing for the sake of change.
This Winters project is to fabricate a new set of headers.
Ground clearance has always been a challenge with the side pipes and 2.25" primarys So the plan is to modify the subframe and reduce the primaries to 2" in order to gain some ground clearance.

I compete with the car in a variety of events like the Optima series, hill climbs and land speed events.

I am just getting started on this, stay tuned for more updates.

Such a wicked looking hot rod. Glad you're going to events & actually running it hard.
I’m a veteran racer & race car designer committed to staying on the leading edge of racing technology, for one reason, to win. Everything else is BS. I'm only semi-retired because I still love helping build bad ass race cars. <br><br>While engineering, geometry, trigonometry, physics & more affect everything in race cars, I do my best to make the complicated easier to understand. One of my racing friends said, “Ron is a race car designer that did not go to engineering school, so he speaks car guy.”
