At least you people are getting some work done, on the vehicles. I haven't been able to get any time for the "toys". My red 64 Valiant is still in the storage place. I want to set up a 600 sq/ft steel garage, but the wait for the permit is nonsense.

I took it for two 15-20 minute drives today and allowed it to warm up and cool down several times. Cold start at @ 26 degrees was great. I want to swap the 02 gauge out of the race car into the truck and do some genuine tuning on the carb. It drives fine but I really don't know where I am mixture wise. Also been slowly adjusting my kick down cable to get it how I like it. Denny will be here shortly and we can put the hood back on. :D :D

Nice work. Don't let any of those boys drive it. You always end up with broken stuff when Ryan, Denny, and to a lesset extent, Andrew drive your stuff!
:D :D :D
