finally done!!!

had a couple little setbacks

after getting it wired and running, we took a couple of road trips to see how it felt. on the second trip around the block and a good second gear run. it ripped a couple of teeth off the ring gear. so a new set was throw in and so far so good.

finally took it to the track sat night and did some shake down runs. firts pass out (motor only) 10.20 @140 this is where we found the front end problem! car pulled hard left and was fighting all the way down the track. found a loose suspension bolt, fixed it and made a second pass on a 100 shot.

8.90@154 can't wait to see what she does on the big kit!!

I'd also like to know the tire size?

Do you have pics of when you stretched the quarters? How much did you remove??

Nice car btw, I should be starting on mine sometime soon except it will be Chromolly and 4-link...
