Meh I can't do much anyway. Working 4-12's monday-thursday then working on the weekends ***** things up. I should be going to days here real soon or getting a new job. Taking a 10% cut at work hurts **** alot. Last time I had my car out was at one Applebee's cruise then at the Rt. 66 opening

Yeah that's for sure. I'm probably just going to sell these springs and shocks off and try and get some new ones. Not about to **** around with it. They came with some blue springs and lower it an inch or so. Not sure what they are though and neither did the seller. Any ideas? I'll try and get some pictures up soon.

Too far, neighbors with straightline. I can only offer some pop & cookies.
I'm sure you have better things to do then work for free on my junk.
It's not even an LS, it some old boring thing.

Thanks guys, I'll have it done today. RT 66 all day tomorrow & parts start coming in Monday.
So I have no choice, has to be apart today. I have an electric oven for baking parts.
Will Tombstone pizza do??

66 was 66. Pretty damn perfect as always. I believe 3 of the guys ran their best ET's.
That's only what I heard, so probably even more. The test & tune for guys I know was kind of a bust.
The guys I know & the fuel dragsters were having issues.
The sun was a bit much for me, so today I sat around all day. My parts came in.
So I start thrashing tomorrow on my old junk.
