Always good to check in on here & see what is new! Man you folks keep coming up with ways to impress me in your builds! I had an awesome time having the car out at SEMA with Dave Smith & the FFR Team! Really is a once in a lifetime experience for this guy...& might I add, Vegas is no place for oversized vehicles!
Anyway, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving & wishing you & yours a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year's!

Just surpassed 21k on the car! At 20k, I performed a rather extensive maintenance run through over all bolts, connections, hoses, fuel lines, visible welds, etc.. Changed all fluids & regreased the chassis at all ports. I had a fuse burn do to a poor connection that ran the Holley Sniper EFI & ultimately shorted the Fuel Pump. I corrected the connection & replaced the Fuel Pump. While I was at it, I went ahead & added a check valve on the in flow line coming from the fuel tank to the Sniper. The car had always presented some idle issues after sitting for more than about 48 hours & I always thought that it could be from the straight vertical climb from under the chassis to the top of the fuel rail in the engine bay. With the new pump (just a replacement from Holley) & the check valve, I have seen a drastic improvement in the way the car performs, especially when it has sit for a day or two.
Just realized that I had never posted pics from SEMA 2022. I tried to keep things updated on Facebook & Social Media, but I know not everyone uses those formats. It was an outstanding opportunity...once in a lifetime for me & I greatly appreciate the FFR Team for the invite out. Met & saw some amazing folks & even had time to vacay with the wife a bit...
I have also had the opportunity to add a few more former Dallas Cowboy's signatures to the dash of the car as well...Isaiah Stanback, Kevin Williams & most recently, at the Dallas Autorama this last weekend, Michael Irvin.
All, so sorry that I have been absent from the forum, but I had experienced a bit trouble accessing my account over the last several months. Back in now & will updating over the next few weeks to bring it up to date!
Thanks,
Jamie

2023 has been a whirl-wind year! The car has now attended over (140) Car Shows, Charitable Events & Golf Tournaments, Player Signings & Parades! I have been fortunate enough to have it featured in (2) Car Magazines, used in a local commercial, it has appeared twice on the NFL on Fox Ultimate Fans segment, of course been to SEMA, been signed by (42) former & current Dallas Cowboy players & been the backdrop to well over (6500) Cowboy Fan pics! Since my post in February, I ran out of space on the dash for signings so I created a custom engine cover for the car. I started with a paper, then cardboard template. Drew it up in CAD then Laser Cut & Formed it & finished it up by having it hydro dipped in a vinyl that looks like a football! It turned out absolutely amazing & is already filling up itself. I was worried about covering the engine up & over heating, but somehow the engine actually runs 10 degrees cooler!
As I average about 35 to 45 events a year that range from Local Car Shows, to Celebrity Golf Tournaments, Parades, Player Signings & other Charitable events, I am currently in discussions with an organization very similar to "Make-A-Wish" that I am hopeful to be able to announce a partnership with after the first of the year.

The last couple of years, I have been able to partner with a local charity, Be An Angel that helps provide medical devices for underprivileged children, & this year they hosted another amazing event. Although it's a bit hard to see, that is the car behind those (12) former Dallas Cowboys...Attachment 206633
The Kenny Gant Celebrity Golf Tournament is always a blast as well...Attachment 206634
In July, I had the opportunity to have the car out at the Grand Opening for former Dallas Cowboy player Michael Irvin's Bar & Grill...Attachment 206635Attachment 206636
In August, I took the car out to meet with Hall of Famer, Mel Renfro, & he was gracious enough to sign the car...Attachment 206637
I finished the year at the Franks Speed Shop Annual Teddy Bear Car Show. We donated over 2500 bears to be handed out to local Childrens Hospitals...1IMG_4564.jpg1IMG_4580.jpg
Now for the bad news! In early October, the front (grill) of the car was hit by young lady that ran a red light. The damage could have been so much more worse, but when it was all said and done, it came to over $15k in damage. Even as I type right now, the Grill is at the Platers being re-chromed & I hope to have it all back together sometime in the next two weeks...IMG_4174.jpgIMG_4179.jpgIMG_4281.jpg
I will try & post a bit more often moving forward, it has just been a hectic year! I do love seeing some of the fresh builds out there though!
Y'all take care & stay safe, & have an amazing Thanksgiving & Christmas!
