TONY: In your FQuick you mention NASCAR "style" splitter...any pictures of that?
I'm currently running an ADE front air dam...we've talked about building a splitter.
Have you seen the Hurley family version? (sweet66monza)

I've not built mine yet. But yep. Hurley's is almost exactly as i plan to build mine. I've even asked them how much to buy one of theirs!

So close. Put it all back together today. worked from 8 this morning till just now. Got it all done, adjusted and turned the key for the first time since last summer.
...
And forgot that the battery would be dead. LOL. Oh well. the accelerator pumps need to soak in fuel anyway. It will roll under its own power tomorrow for sure.

It lives! I ran it for a bit today, backed it out. (wow, those tires in the front will DEFINITELY have to be changed with lower profile ones.)
Woot!
Oh, and danny installed all of his new weatherstripping on his car this weekend too. All new seals and fuzzies. The lucky bastard. I want mine done too! It looks so nice!

Re: Hold on to your lugnuts its tiiiime for an overhaul!
Nice. Took her around the block. Runs SO much better now. I really needed to adjust the valves. We found a load of problems when we put it back together, A bad carb shaft that was *killing* idol stability, really really loose rockers on the other side of the engine, an oil leak and a few other things that needed attention anyway. Oh, and I came up with a pretty nifty oil catch can/breather tank, if I do say so myself. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I need to snap a better picture of it in the daylight.

Looking real good Tony. And Danny too. I'm hoping to get my new door seals on the car tomorrow. I already have new fuzzys & stuff on the car from last year.
Those are some BIG TIRES you have there. lol.
