Radiator guy got my shroud done when I was out
of town.

Got it installed today.......temps were running fine
without it so it should be a big help during the
hot weather.

Thom, pardon my lack of eloquence when I say that this car is more and more bitchin' every time I see an update!

BTW, sorry I missed you recently...that weekend was mainly spent trying to get up separated from down for me....long week on the road. Hopefully we can catch up again some other time.

Am I alone in begging for a ride-along video?

What a great shot, Monk. Looks like an outtake shot from filming Two Lane Blacktop.

Re: My 409/'55 Chevy Project

Well.......got about 350 miles on the rig about now.

Made some adjustments and with a few more to come.

Installed a Lokar throttle system.......peddle and throttle
cable. It was a direct bolt in on the pedal....pretty cool.
Really smoothed everything out.

Got into the dual quads last weekend.......the torque
is unbelievable.

Next week the air pump and canister are going on.......need a little
help with the brakes.
Once I get the damn thing going......sooner or later I have
to stop it
;D

Took a pic of Jim's dragster when I stopped by the shop
this week.
He's a real car guy.....and competitive as hell.
He really takes ownership of all his work.
