Haven't fired it or had this thing out in 4 years, there were some life events that got in the way....last time was the dream cruise/endless
Idling. Pulled the lifters for a look, no issues found. Back together she goes.
It's going to be next on the hoist as soon as I can stop Messing endlessly with my C body.

No big deal to most of you here but, it is to me. Going to
Complete the suspension changes planned in 2012
After making sure everything else is cool, work on the tune
A little, pound on the car some more and hopefully find out.

Dust hides some of the surface rust!

Just for that, I may not wash it until it runs 10s lol

Head down to Woodburn and sign up for the points season. You could end up racing in the Bracket Finals to be held there later this year. It's only a couple miles down the road...

Our cars have both been in hibernation, and are coincidentally both rusting in the same places!

Don't know if you remember me but my car has come a long way from your frame connector post(2003?). I've been driving it a few years now although I have yet to take it to the track.

Nice to see you back wrench

Alex! I was just reading your last G3 swap update. It seems like that is the life of a musclecar....Short periods of extreme abuse, long periods of neglect, sometimes being treated not nice at all....followed by some kind of a rebuild/maintenance/mod program, then more extreme abuse smile Lather, rinse and repeat. Sorry about the rust. I may get after that after it does what I'm trying to get it to do.

My frame connector post! I believe it was entitled
"subframe connectors: which way should we..."
Your car looks fantastic rapom. Clean and mean. I like it.
'03 sounds pretty close...been at this awhile now off and on, that is for sure.

There are cool people here, still...
Whatever ain't cool, just got to avoid that.
