She and I agree then, you ARE way cool! 8-)

And so I am!

at least i got my new mounts and steering box installed.

because of the shorter pitman arm.
it is a little harder to turn the wheel.
but with the previous setup
i had a bit of bumpsteer and if i locked the brakes up it would pull to the right.
yesterday i got it up to about 50 mph
let go of the wheel
and stomped the brakes
no pull and it stopped just fine.
those 12x2" juice brakes work just fine on a dinky lightweight rig like this.

Good news, Billy!!!! Always good to get some of the issues sorted out, makes the cruizin' a lot more fun!

yesterday i noticed my tranny hanging down more than it should.
turns out
when the motor mount broke.
it cracked my tranny mount as well.
i just walked in from fixing it.
ok
now i am done.*



*till next time.

Good save with that qualifier!

installing my groovy chrome headers today.
just waiting for it to warm up a bit.

UPDATE
this time SPEEDWAY sent me 2 passenger side headers.
i will NEVER give that company a DIME again as long as i live.
from now on i will use those pretty catalogs they keep sending me for ideas for parts.
and then rush out and buy from SOMEBODY ELSE!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Can't say I blame you Billy, but that really, really surprises me. I bought a ton of stuff from Speedway, and I think the only problem I ever had was due to me ordering something that didn't work the way I expected. Speedway's tech guys walked me through things once or twice, too. Sorry you had the problem, and know it's frustrating. Bet if you take a snapshot and e-mail it to them they'll be all over paying for the return, and probably sending you a drivers side for delivery tomorrow.
