Saw and heard the video. Way to go Mikey. That’s the way it should run, great job.

[mikey]

Dino, I double checked, and someone had muted the speakers. Works great now. And Tom, glad that you liked it. ……………Mikey 😆

Mikey,you and your Willys no doubt are ready for bear! With your performance and consistent times are going to be a threat at the Dover ‘5’ this year!!! 😮 😀 😉 A little more practice,cutting the lights,and a little more tweeking on the engine and chassis perhaps,look out for Mikey at the ‘Valley’!!!

[mikey]

Had a good time, and was only a little annoyed at the car. Performance is definitely getting there though. I think my retard box (no smart remarks please) is bad. I checked all the wires, and double checked where they are hooked and all of it looks good. I called Tom Blake, and he has a couple that I can borrow to try out. If one of them works, he’ll sell it to me. I’m going to drive down on Friday morning, get the boxes and visit a little with him and Mary. I’m glad to share my progress or regress with you guys, I love the comments and suggestions. ………………Mikey 😆

Looking and sounding good. Hope we can get together at the strip before I go into the hospital and/or my car goes into the shop.
Me to have some work done on my legs and the cars paint is slowing it down, lol. Hope you got my PM with phone number, if not drop me a line and I’ll call.

Ran into a guy from Watertown last night at a car show. He is an ODF but not a member yet, I’m working on that. Had a great time talking and he does remember a lot of the guys. Anyway Mike keep up the great work, that Iron is running nice.

Guys, I have gotten so many great comments on the video of my car, I don’t know how to thank you all!! I have watched it a few times myself, and It is pretty cool. I never get to see it in action, only still pictures. That is the first time that I have gone to any track and not gotten angry at myself or the car. I was a little annoyed at a couple of things, but not angry or mad. I actually felt good. I already am changing the front springs back to the 450lb springs, and I’ve raised the wheelie bars up about 2″, I also took out the retard box( no wise remarks please ), I checked it out and it’s not working at all. It is supposed to retard the ignition timing 20 degrees at start-up, but it’s not working. I called Tom Blake to see if he had one, and he’s got something similar that he said I could borrow, and if it works, he will sell it to me very reasonable. I went down to Toms house and picked it up, got to see “Odd Job” up close and personal, very cool car!! The A/C is really slick, but the whole car is just really nice. When Tom gets the time and the money to do, or have the body work done, that will be one beautiful car!! The craftsmanship is outstanding!! All the work that Mary and Tom have done, in such a short period of time, just to get it to Dover, and the work they’ve done since then, is amazing. Oh, I started to hook up the “box” that I got from Tom, but I’ll have to finish it tomorrow. I hope it works out OK, I can’t afford a new one, and the car almost won’t start when it’s not working. ………….Mikey 😆
