Nice car & video.
 If it wasn't for the weather, I'd move to Canada!
So you think moving 300 miles strait east from Chi Town will make the weather any worse than what you get??
Grand bend is a beautiful track. seen that car a few times!

Nice Hutch...I always liked that car. Are you using a 727?
Oh boy here's where I get shot down in flames  . I run a T400 as its a big part of what I do for a living. Its not a high powered test platform but I can play with new ideas, ratio's and lightweight components that I make for them. I have a mount made for the 727 and it may get introduced to the car one day , we'll see.
I also had to ditch the 8 3/4 after smashing it 3 times and I took a year off and built a sheet metal 9". It has been flawless and the car actually picked up 1 mph over the 8 3/4 . I thought by design the 9" would have more drag due to pinion height but it did not. Both gear sets were REM ISF treated so friction was limited with that process.
Be nice 
Hutch

Was this car connected with Walker Automotive? I am in Sacramento, and I saw a car that looked just like this with Walker Automotive on it, and I think it was from So. Cal.
No it was just a rusty old Canadian POS when I started building the car 25 years ago and just got running 2 years ago.

Any non-purist comments you get in the 'race' forum are unfounded and unwelcome. That is quite a nice HotRod you built there and part of me can't wait 'til something exotic goes between the framerails. The other part of me loves that little 383 buzzin' at 8,000.

I have no intent at the moment to step up the program but maybe a little more rpm with a converter and gear change.

. I'm going in the other direction anyway - Payson or Prescott AZ by this time next year - I hope.
