  5. Hey Brother! We are in Indiana headed your way!!!
     
  6. C'mon now, I looked it up on map quest it's less than 200 miles and all down hill to the south, all you got to do is throw it in neutral and coast down there. LOL
     
  7. Glad you got her ready to go Brother!

    I for one will like it even more when you recreate that paint job, but that's just me.

    I have lots of boat anchors & not a lot of time to work on them. Most of them I would drive when their done.

    Be safe & have one for me.

    God Bless

    Way to go!
    Even if I get my car done I can't dive it there anyway because it's a race car not a street car.
    I just got home from a service call to @atch to get him up and running so he can go to Lloyd fest. So I'm doing my best to get them out on the road.

    LOL. Glad you got it back on the road. But don’t stop yet. Some of us have no shame, just a few more years and some too much fun disabilities to slow us down. But when it gets on the road, hopefully we can all line up and see if slow but surely will win the race.
    In the mean time, go enjoy that magnificent rowdy beast. And remember to stay somewhere between have all the fun you possibly can and stay safe.

    Shout out and kudos to James (saltflats). He came over and used his finesse and super tuned Clarence. Runs better now than it ever has. It ain't no 409 but he knows his way around other engines also.

    No snide comments allowed, but the guy has magic fingers.

    Probably poorly ground lifter faces without a proper crown. Maybe he could post a shot of the others?
     
  24. Sheesh, as my dad used to say, if it ain’t one thing it’s another. Hope you guys can resolve this issue soon and then go have fun ( shenanigans that is)

    I wouldn't be afraid to use a good set of original used ones.

    I’m having a hard time understanding why so many manufacturers are having a hard time with flat lifters, been making them for a long time. I remember a few guys stabbing a new cam and lifters firing it up and driving right off the bat no problems. WTH
