Thanks, progress is slow because this is a 100% donation funded project with work done in our spare time. I'd say there are really 5 people working on this full time, with maybe 4 or 5 more supporting people.

Couple teaser shots of the weekend's work

Engine bay stripped of everything and ready for sanding and paint

Engine pretty much complete. We managed to lose two bolts in the process (you can see them in the pic). If anyone has spare timing cover and WP bolts please contact me. We are missing the top WP bolt and the Timing cover stud on the lower left of the pic (temp bolt with nut and washer in place for now)

New Website is up

Project: Fallen Hero

Car has been transported to Autopaint RI in Cranston, RI where the engine bay will be getting prepped and painted. After that, the engine and newly rebuilt trans are going in.

April 19th, there will be a shootout dedicated to Maj. Calero at NED. All the slots are filled, but the goal is to have a little bracket racing competition with the goal of raising money and awareness. I'll be up there racing.

WOuld also like to thank John @ GMP diecasts for helping create a 1 of 1 replica diecast of the car. It's really awesome of them to do this for us. It's been customized by GMP for our intended goal with the car
