By the way, it always surprises me how bad rust and dirt show up in photos. In reality, it is not that bad. The floor is sound, just surface rust. In a perfect world it would be blasted or soaked in a tank, but we do not build 53 StuFins in a perfect world! [just my car port:} Larry Woodfin | |||

I love this build! I think this might be top of the list of cars you've built,for me anyway. Looking forward to the completion of this one. | |||

Tim, I am more enthused about the StuFin than any project in the last several years. I am always looking for something different, soming unique and this project for sure fills the bill. Plus, there are basically no parts intended for this style of build. It is challenging me and that is a good thing. The one thing I am fretting about is the paint job. A good looking, two-foot race paint job, is simply too much money to spend on a toy. So, I will leave the exterior for later addressing and work on the mechanical systems. Larry Woodfin | |||

Curious why did you choose the distributor drive over the Daytona speed | |||
|
| DRR Pro |
Steely, I did consider the Daytona Sensors systems. After a time of pondering the options, I decided the distributor suited my old man and old car. I will be using a Daytona Sensors distributor. Larry Woodfin | |||

Thank you for sharing the progress, Larry. Keep up the great work! This 60* weather is much more compatible with working on projects than the single digits we had exactly 1 week ago.  Dan "Jim" Moore Much too young to feel this damn old!! | |||

Foot, you are correct about the warmer days being better working conditions. Steady progress is happening with the StuFin. I jump around with work tasks. The last three days have been working on mounting the main hoop, building outrigger supports to the frame, and massaging the floor to clear. The 350 transmission is mostly finished. The LS engine has the crank and cam installed and one set of rings gapped. I expect Monte [Little Chief here] will come either Saturday or Sunday for wheel tub and floor work. The way it is shaping up I think three months will some very good progress. Larry Woodfin | |||

Good to hear the steady progress with the StuFin! I wish I could say the same about the B-Car, in a holding pattern with the holidays; plus, getting material & parts.  2BKING 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

Several things I like about this. 1. It is different, not another like it. 2. You are building it yourself with your own ideas, you own sweat, blood and possibly even choice words. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||
