I thought the video would have been up by now. As Jeff would say that is way above my pay grade.

Patsy tried to upload to photobucket but it would not load. I think its on facebook.

Update, yesterday was test drive day or so I thought. Add water, fuel, recheck trans fluid , pull car up to house shut it off and check for leaks. No hits ,no runs and no errors, I strap myself in hit the starter and nothing. Just another day at the office.

When I shift the car to high gear it seems to want to move right along. Those M W brakes work real well.

I drove 330 plus miles to have a set of shocks dynoed. Man are those things sensitive on adjustment. I think we now have a place to start from to sort the car out, I hope.

After we get the car back together, the real test will be figuring out what boards to make to load the car without damaging the plastic splitter.

I have two race ramps to go under the trailer door then I put a 1" X 6" board halfway down the ramp to clear mine.

Put the car on the lift after a little test drive just to check everything. Reinstall the shocks and changed the direction of the attachment bolts to make it easier to service. Had to shorten one 1/2'' x 20 NF bolt two threads or .100'' to get the type clearance I want. Rechecked differential gear oil it was low as expected, it was full. The missing oil went in the tubes to oil the wheel bearings.

Cut my hand on a long screw sticking out passed a RivNut, now they don't stick out anymore. I had one screw rubbing on a borrowed collector, it's fixed now.

I'm working on installing an air filter on the car. It always happens on the way to staging, I'm behind some one raising a cloud of dust, not their fault. So to make my engine last longer its going to have a filter for the air.

Yac was telling me about your truck today, I had no idea. What front brake setup did run on it?
