    Took the coupe for a short ride this afternoon! Didn't jump on it too hard but dang it's stout!!

    And even better was the front suspension actually performing some real work! The car handles so much better it's like not even the same car at all! Plus the new shocks are adjustable both compression and extension!

    Started "playin" with the new distributor too... so many choices.. I'll be tinkering all summer.

    It appears as though you should be "playin" with your camera, too.....

    Glad you got it running again!!!

    Not much to show really.. especially since it's filthy! Maybe next weekend I can play some more with it, and get you a photo... or two..

    But now it's your turn!! I hear stories of pickups getting re-powered and maybe suspension upgrades.. and wasn't there a 36 Ford??? HMmmm.. maybe we should cite you for withholding evidence??

    Dang Randy, beat me to it with the decided lack of photographic 'proof'

    Anyhow Mike, glad it runs now and with a punch. I still might have to consider a bigger 5.0 yet (eyeballin' to see if a warm 351W would fit in that recess)

    HMmmm.. You DO realize that I'll be hovering like a vulture expecting lots of "photographic proof" once you start your project! Don't you??

    What's funny is... I am more excited about the suspension upgrade and results than the motor!!

    But later this summer once the combo is better sorted out, I'll get to playing with that dual quad setup.. that should bring some more satisfaction!
