Yes, I'm still alive, for the most part. Seems like it's been forever. I'll try and keep my eyes open for the next time you all have a meet.


Hope everyone is well.

Oh we're alive, so that's good. It's been an ugly stretch of bad luck since Feb 2009. Too much to share all that has happened, but the worst of it was I almost checked in to The Hotel California back in July. I had a critical arrhythmia heart attack. For some unknown reason my heart rate stuck at 178 beats per min. I'm still in recovery mode as the heart suffered serious stress and hopefully no long term damage. Imagine our cars stuck on wide open throttle for hours. Anyway, still alive . . eating, sleeping with a roof over my head, so not the end of the world . . . but let's wait and see what happens on 12/21/12. :p

Ruf! Good to hear from you.

Dallas crew, can anyone recommend a GOOD QUALITY shop that does upholstery? I also would like recommendations on a shop that does good quality paint work. I will be needing both done to my new project car in January.

I'm sorry HockeyMan....I've no clue....

You might not want to, but do you have a "before" picture of that gorgeous Legend anywhere? It may look bad now, but they're still pretty!!!

It had a rebuilt motor 92K ago according to the guy I got it from. Don't really know how to make sure it's in good shape but it does seem to run fine. Has 230K on the chassis. Interior is a MESS as well as the paint, need to have those both redone. I'm in Plano.

I don't know about popping up, but old for sure.

Anyone know where to get a good inexpensive dyno so I can verify some data? I've been thinking about one since my last 1/4 mile times sometime back about 2 years or so. I had a 14.02, or something around there - didn't have slips printed up - I would have loved to Bronze that one. I did the altitude/weather 1/4 mile correction application and it put me in around 13.93 and around 255hp at the wheels.

Cobb Tuning in Plano might have some specials going on. They sometimes have 3 pulls for 75.

Will be staying up there late tomorrow because we want to walk the new park near the golf course. They have all of their trees lit up. Look pretty cool when we drove thru there a couple of weekends ago.

RUF - I can ask around. We definitely need to hit the strip whenever you get the chance. I think Dallas Raceway is gonna be closed for a bit due to weather but thats about this time every year.
