[Joe Grippo]

Got it apart, now its off to get hot tanked...

[Joe Grippo]

So I decided to freshen up the engine this winter....Nothing major, hone maybe, rings, valve springs, bearings maybe, all new gaskets...

Found some old shots from 2002 when I got the fiberglass parts I put on the Mustang. Crites Performance in Ohio, quality stuff and a real good fit....

Nice, another '70! Bring on the questions...

I don't want to hijack this awesome thread with my stupid questions. My racing experience has to do with turning left, this straight line stuff is new to me.

and let's hear about the bronco in the background too please!

That's my 73 that I have owned for over 20yrs. 1 tons, 538 gears, 42" Pitbulls, Hydraulic steering all the stuff to bounce off the rocks up here in Colorado

MAN. That is a excellent build. I have just started building a very similar (albeit will not be as nice) and have about 1.5 million questions for you. Mine is really light in the front end yet

Man that is clean Joe! One question, it seems to pul a little right on the launch, you correct it so cleanly when it touches down in the video it's hard to tell, but there could be a few .01's in it if it went dead straight. Or, is that run on the video just an anomaly?

I'd say it was probably an anomaly Bill. It usually goes pretty straight, though Beaver has a very narrow groove and I may have drifted out to the edge.

I don't remember having to steer it much, the other in-car video seemed like status quo...

That is exactly what I wanted to see. Thanks so much!!

[Joe Grippo]

So per request here are a few shots of my Roll Cage and interior, focusing on the down bars through the top of the dash.... Left side close ups... Yeah, I went through two dash caps trying to get the trimming tight around the bars, I can live with this....and you can see where I scratched the shit out the bars taking the dash in and out a hundred times... Right side... Hope this helps Jason...
