Well, then it's time we step it up!
Tank is coming along well. I want to have the engine installed before the end of next week.
Settin' goals.

Good to see notes here from UltArc and svt98t.

I've been very busy lately - haven't found the time to send pm's or emails to our various team members from past years. Anyone else here who has registered or plans to (get busy! I'm sure the roster is size-limited to however many cars can fit safely on the track) - please chime in here.

My car is scheduled to get a rebuilt transmission the week after next; the 1st and 2nd gear syncros went out. I finally learned how to double clutch once they got very bad, but I'd much rather compete in a car where things work as they should.

AND I have hopes of upgrading the belly pan. Working underneath the car is always challenging, especially at my age where joints and muscles like to get sore. But I'll see what I can do down there.

Completely coated the cross member and anything else I could get to.
First coat was a Loctite rust neutralizer. It's white, turns purple as its working, then turns black when it's dry.
Next coat was Eastwood Rust Inhibitor. Man, that stuff works great. I know that because when I opened it, it smelled like nothing I have every smelled before.
Then it was coated with Plasti-Dip. For extra protection.
I'll post pics later.

Anywho, what this leads too is that I'm finishing with the engine tonight and mating it to the transmission.
Looking for an installation Thursday night and possible start up on Sunday.
The faster I get this done, the more excited I'm going to be for the GGP.

Hope all of your plans are coming along well.

Matt's a member, but I think he has only posted once or twice. He's on FB too.

Do you have an email address or phone number for him? An EcoModder screen name would be nice but if he rarely comes here it won't help much.

EcoModder Green Grand Prix drivers, please get in contact with me by pm here on EcoModder. I suspect we have drivers who haven't spoken up on this thread.

We need to do some planning.
