i'm here i just have been under my car for the last few days. so here is whats up. everything is done except 2 brake lines and bleeding the brakes.

then its down to the alignment shop on saturday morning the back to the yard for driving tests to tune and get everything dialed in. and there will still be paint and some minor work .. like hood pins and cutting a hole in the hood. but that can wait a few days. the paint is my highest item on the after she is running and stopping list.

THOR showed up to grab some parts and he helped out a ton!

here is todays progress:

most of it i was playing with the camber and the u-joints and with a lot of help from dave. randy adjusted the clutch and i am really happy with how it feels so far. i had to replace my lower radiator hose since my nice eldelbrock stainless fan took a chunk out of it when thor and i fired her up the other night. i re-routed the hose and its much better. i'm running a radiator out of a K car and it works great other than some hose issues wich have been solved! i am getting a custom radiator made soon and finishing up the nitro and the hei / ford coil mod. i'm also swaping to a different alternator that has a built in regulator.

street radials are on her now

yep gotta get that push button delete plate from michael ... i better bring him lots of beer for that one! also a 4 speed carpet kit for my car is tops when i can afford it!

i just need to make the lines from the master to the biasing block! .. tomorrow!

saturday night i'm posting video of my car driving thru the yard!

i would upload some short videos of us working on it but i'm on public free wi/fi right now. anyways thanks for reading ... it just makes this all the more fun to share it!
