Surrendering to the Obvious

It's time I face a few simple facts.  First, I've exhausted my personal supply of Concours d'Lemons cars (yup, both of 'em).  Second, the entire weekend at Sears Pointless was heaps of fun.  Third, this has been the view out my front door for the last couple of years:

Sorry about the glare; I should probably wash that window.  And no, I'm not married-- how'd you guess?

Anyway, in light of all this I've decided to cram a cage into the '67 SAAB 96 and have a go at this racing thingy.  I got the car several years ago from the president of the local SAAB club after he dragged it from a farmer's field before coming to his senses.  In many ways it's in okay shape (nicer paint than the house...):

but it is in need of some engine work at this point:

Since I've never built a race car, put together a team, or raced before, I assume everything will go quickly, smoothly, and most importantly, well under budget. 

I'll probably be pestering people in the Puget Sound area for advice on matters such as caging (Hi, there, Surrender Monkeys!) and so forth, but thought I'd mention the whole thing here in case there are any lurking two-stroke SAAB fanatics around.  Also, be warned that any discussion of engine swapping might very well generate amusement, but I'm firmly committed to keeping the Mighty Three.  And the roof rack.  Definitely the roof rack.
