I would think with slicks and a decent carb, it should be a lot faster than that. I believe you are going to be pleasantly surprised. Better get some Depends Now

Got a little work done today on the engine. Getting really close now. I bought the Hughes thick walled rocker shafts, but they have small holes in them. My heads have 3/8 bolts and wont fin in the new shafts, Is it gonna be ok to just drill them out for the heavier rocker shaft bolts. I have one head torqued on, all the lifters in, and am now waiting on the rocker bolt issue.





Might want to check wall thickness to bolt diameter, I have seen pictures where they turned the center of the bolt down , Andyf comes to mind for a picture.



it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

More body work done tonight!! Got the passenger quarter/rocker repaired. Now we just need to block it out, and fix a very tiny spot on the drivers door. Now we have just got a lot of blocking to do, and decide on the hood. I treated the inner rocker with some POR treatment, so Its gonna be ok for a few more years, prolly be doing this again in another 15 years.

The repaire was easier than I thought it was going to be. It helps to have someone who has been doing this since my car was only 6 years old!!

Id love a wheels up shot like that, but Mine is mainly a driver, with a little race to back up the paint.

Well I got the Oil pick up, and the pan on it tonite. I had to "crush" the tube just a tiny bit to clear themain girdle, but it was very minor. Also I used some Powerstroke sealer that is really awsome stuff. I highly recomend it and its some great sealing stuff...

Tonite we are gonna do some more rubbing on the car. I figured it up today I have owned the car for 18 years, and have had it stripped down, back to running, but never exactly hoe I wanted it, so it has litterly been a 17 year build.

WOW how things string on when you have limited funds, and limited places to build it.
