I want to thank Don (Top452) for loaning me his converter... I was pretty much done for the year, but wanted to try a converter before giving up on the glide (also borrowed!!) Looks like I'll keep the th400 on the shelf a bit longer....

Here's the 5.14

Ultrastreet will probably be out of control next year, but I had fun dabbling in it this year as it is only 30 miles from the house...

Man....you have some nice friends! LOL.

What do you have going on in the rear suspension department?

Thanks,

Tom, I do have a few good friends left... Don and I have been buddies for over 15 years....he bought my old 65 car from me when I retired and swore I'd never race again......so maybe he owed me a favor? I don't know... I probably owe him one now!

The rear suspension is basic 9"/ladder bar/coilover/stock framerail mini-tub that was originally done by JP Racecars when Trettle owned the car back in 1995, I put new shocks and springs on them last year and that was about it..
