    Took it to the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, KY. It was freakin' hot!



    Oh yeah, it looks like I finally figured out why the truck was getting crappy gas mileage. The big chrome fuel pump was pushing gas past the needle and seat. I put a stock fuel pump on the truck and my gas mileage jumped from around 8 mpg to 15!

    I don't think I will get much more out of it with 20's and the overall aerodynamics of this truck.

    ...over 5,500 miles on the truck now.

    There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.
