yep... Just finished putting in new Butler pushrods... Goin to alignment shop on Thurs, to install the new adjustable outer tie rods, and reset toe... rest of alignment already done, on all new suspension. Installed new fuel reg, and did a little re-plumbing(more to do)... just gotta change oil, new plugs, and clean it up. Serviced trans and replaced missing shifter arm seal(leaked since 2005)... not a drip on the floor, now. Shooting for the 1st 10second timeslip , for the 'Bird, a week from this Wednesday...

Waiting for my junk to get assembled....needing wristpins....Pistons from Ross took 2 and half months....then in the car...4 weeks to opening day....

Although with all this global warming....or freezing...coldest day on record here in April...-20C here this morning and below normal for the next 2 to 3 weeks.....we could be weather delayed.

Yes,,,,,
64 Gasser, mounted a line lock yesterday. Tomorrow I'll re route the lines to it and back out along with the wiring. Drag Racing this Saturday at the Tulsa Pontiac Nats.

66 GTO, my brother Darren just thanked me for helping build his 65 Gasser with a $1,500 gift card to Summit Racing for my up coming 50th Birthday. Friggin 50 man. All I can say is I'm glad I still feel and think like I'm 30. Anyway, I just ordered everything I needed to get her going again. Hope to have it rolling this month.
