Yup, we texted back and forth yesterday. Awaiting some details from him about meeting a group in Cincy......should be a good time if we can get it together!

Lol, that group in Cincy is me!

Progress on my A-Arms!
Interim pictures too big to post.
Shipped out to No Limit on Tuesday May 1st - they received them on May 3rd.
They completed them and shipped them back on May 10th! That is exactly what they promised - how often does that happen with custom made car parts nowadays?
I should have them on Monday and will post some comparison pictures shortly thereafter.
Still a little tight on the timeline but way better than I expected. I will have to send them out to be powder coated after a trail fit and I figure out all the geometry.

The dimmer part of my headlight switch is broken. Not a big deal though. One headlight blows on one setting I forget which. I did find a loose wire though.

Took this '63 on it's first shake down run tonight. To a car show in a town about fifty miles away. The first time to drive it over a couple of miles. Down in rush hour, back up after dark. (What balls, huh?) The two inch lifts in back definitely need to go. Temp maxed going down in the heat. And then, on the way back after dark, on a busy 4-lane, the lights just go dark. Discovered that they would come back on after playing around with the switch a bit. Then do it again. I might need to do something about that.

An enabler? I have never thought of myself that way. I just have an inquiring mind

Good News John

So can I assume you didn't take this opportunity to add a 100 cubes to the mill?

Up until last Wednesday I thought all the olé Goat needed was a wax job. Tracking down an engine noise I found I need a new crankshaft and main bearing cap. Pretty much a complete overhaul! I need to send the replacement crank out for polishing and balance. The block and cap will require a line bore. Timewise those 2 jobs are out of my hands. I can for see some late nights coming up in May.

Got the block back this morning from having it align bored. The replacement crank will be balanced and polished tomorrow. Things are progressing in the right direction....I hope there will be no more surprises.

Got my big brake kit installed on the Marauder. Shelby GT500 rotors, Corvette calipers and pads, custom brackets and lines...


So I think I'm caught up, other than needing a detail...badly.

Should have had the radiator cleaned when the engine was out last year. Still need my limited slip installed that I bought at last year's swap meet that is this weekend.
