I am thinking of checking out with the Waconia Crew to see if a Rupp Build off would be a good Idea for Waconia 2015. (this is about 15 months away) We are looking for 5 guys to each build there own sled. So far this is what you have to do to get on board..Send Me a picture and or post your bare tunnel with Vin number od some way to ID it. This build is not going to be how cool looking the sled is but on how well it is built. This way a 69 GT will have as much as a chance as a 76 Magnum. You can do any Rupp you want or build a custom with mostly Rupp parts. I need to get an Idea on how many will want to do this. For those of you that live 500 or miles away I can help out with some gas money if needed. (you might get stuck hualing a few parts for though. If you have any question feel free to post them here or PM/email me them.

Questions = 1. Are you thinkin a build off, on site, starting w/bare tunnel on Friday and done by Sunday at Waconia? 2. Are you thinkin (5) guys or (5) teams, wondering if it has to be done by one person as racing also? 3.Do you think parts can be polished, painted, etc. prior so its pretty much an assembly at Waconia? 4. Suspensions, motors, together & ready to go in, glass painted?
Lotta "Thinkin" for ya above LOL! PS hhmmmm may have to "think" on buildin a 73 400??LOL!

You will have a year plus to get the sled done. But I want everyone to start with a bare tunnel.. 2. 1 sled owner you can have as many guys help you that you want. So thats 5 guys and 5 sleds. 3&4. You better bring it to Waconia DONE and ready to get judged. NEXT...............

If we can get at least one more (5 total would be better) I will tell John Z. to go a head and bring it up at the next meeting.
How about that 007 dude.... Are you up to it?

Rick, I'll probably be in also, just trying to decide if I want to take the bulkhead back off the tunnel that I just reinstalled, otherwise its still bare (no chaincase etc.), just to take a pic.
