After lurking in the background for almost a year, introductions are due. My name is Jeff and I’m from North Central PA. As a kid @ 9-10 yrs old I assembled a large scale (maybe 1:12 scale) T-bucket model, had soft rubber tires, even “real” plug wires. I knew someday I would build one. Well f-fwd 44 yrs and now is the time. I spent 21 yrs in the USAF, (jet engine mechanic) retired and have all the ducks in a row so to speak (kids grown, wives gone lol). Previously I built a Northeast Dirt Modified which my nephew drove and after 3 yrs woke up to the fact that racing will eat your wallet fast and also take a bite out of you’re a*# while it’s at it. I’m doing this on retirement pay so it will not be a short build but satisfying all the same. I ordered a frame, front I- Beam suspension (like the suicide look), 9” rear housing, and body from Wintec and it is supposed to be ready by 1 May. I have all the disc brake assy’s, brake lines and valves, wiring harness, complete fuel system parts and am currently assembling the 3rd member. When I get started I will post pics. Glad to see and be a part of this forum, the knowledge here is golden. Jeff.
