I like your dome light. I use a trailer marker light like this that has a yellow lenses. I leave it ON when racing at night and it doesn’t interfere with seeing the tree. I also tied this light output to my Dial IN board and this places the board in the Night Mode dimming it.

yes, just one of those simple things that is handy at times.

Brother Larry, I love following your builds. I just wish I lived a little closer! Lol.

After a time of soul searching and pondering, I have decided to sell all my drag race equipment. This Camaro is very nice, in good condition, lots of good work is completed. It needs sheet metal work, wheel tubs, and other minor work to be completed. More details and photos as requested. I have the doors and deck lid, that are also painted white

Lamplighter

Sorry to hear that! Good luck sir!!

Sold, more details later

Update, The Lamplighter did not sell. I am back on track [so to speak] and will finish the project.

I know you had reasons to want to sell. I am glad to read you did not and plan to finish the car and race again. I hate to see anyone hang it up. Really enjoy you build threads.

We can take that as good news Larry!

A Lamplighter update:

After a time of pondering [these days enhance pondering], I find myself thinking more and more about what is important. In addition, I personally think we are in big trouble with the economy and that it will be some time before we recover. So, sparing y'all all my personal thoughts, the lamplighter project has a new direction.

This will be the most basic, least expensive project I have done in many years. It will be a bare-bones foot brake, no electronic package, and most likely transported on a lightweight open trailer.

More updates soon.

Larry I thought you sold the Camaro

Steve, I considered doing so and thought it was a done deal but it did not work out. In hindsight, I am glad I still have it. It is a very well done piece and will be a good racer

Congrats and glad to see the project is back on track (so to speak). Footbrake in a third gen is all I did for the first 14 years of the 23 years I have owned the one in my avatar! Can’t wait to see your updates.

Bare bones has been good to me over the years.

Good news Larry. I am finishing a "similar project". It is an early S10, S&W rear clip and cage. Got a low-dollar 406 with Rupert carb, 'glide and big tires.
Want to try it in No Box and Box so we can race twice and tow with the open trailer just once. Keep us posted, hope it goes well for you!!
