Car has been parked while I completed my new garage ..

But, was able to get some new items done for this year

Took Dana apart , installed new spool and 4.30 gears

installed 5/8 studs

took ladder bars apart and installed new heim joints

checked everything for cracks, etc , welded up as needed ( not much )

Installed a new front suspension from http://gerstsuspensions.com/products/front-suspension/

with wilwood front brakes

Soon to be installed a new low deck based 470 and at same time

a new Cope 727 http://coperacingtranscom.ipage.com/?product=727-8-super-pro-ii-trans-brake

PTC convertor

TTI headers


hope to have most of the big items put in by Mid April

Snagged my big dumb ear last night under the white car on a big screw when I was trying to clean the underside ..

Kicked a screwdriver out the door like field goal kicker , think it landed in Lincoln county

Hurt and bled for about an hour

Grab two talls out of the fridge. One to drink, and one to ice that ear!

I love this car. I’m kind of glad you didn’t sell it a while back. Get that 383 out and that low deck in and post some numbers! Let’s here some specs on the engine.

How do you like the Gerst front end? I looked at them at the Indy Cylinder Head show. Looked very nice.

Front end is on and nice , Carl is a good dude ..really cleaned up the nose on the car ..

And, it needed the Wilwoods, so win/win ..

I had sold the driveline out of the car, hence the need for all new

It is a nice motor , made 600 hp and 600 tq ..

Flat tappet cam, out of the box victor heads , typical stuff

It stopped making power at 6300 so, I figured I would gear it so it didn't buzz it too hard ..should be fun

I expect mid 10's

Very annoying to spring a leak when trying to get 'stuff' done. I had that happen yesterday. Hate to get the red stuff on my nice, shiny parts. As usual, had no idea how it happened.

Plopped the driveline in today, everything fell in place without a fight..
should be able to finish up most of the changes by next week

Going to try to get the paint fixed yet .. race season here looks to be delayed by weather until the end of May
