Ha!
Now you're going to get everyone confused Jerry!
It's not really a matter of my heart not being in it. It's just more difficult to find blocks of time to work on it this year. In past years, I could come home from work at five, eat supper with the Wife, and send her off to bed around 6:30, then I had 3 or 4 uninterrupted hours to plug away on the story. This year we babysit my seven year old grandson until my daughter gets off work around 8:30 or 9:00 at night, and that really cuts into the creative storytelling time!

I didn't fix the Valiant's problems completely, I just did a better job of masking them with a band-aid!

First, and most important, I went to a big dumb bias ply tire in the back. Then I put really nice adjustable Qa-1 shocks on all four corners. The real problem is, that the rear-end is an 1/8 out of square under the car, so I need to drop it down, cut the safety tabs off one of the bars, adjust the heim out 1/8, and then weld the tabs back on...but I have yet to do that!

Thanks for reading, and I apologize for the delay!
