Like a few of the other posts we are getting ready for the Hunnert Car trip as well. I changed the oil in the GMC yesterday and fixed those interior lights ( that i didnt have last year) just because they needed to work. I had already removed the strombergs for the trip as i just didnt have the time in my schedule to keep up with all five of them. I put the 600 holley on the car and it sounds good. I will take all eight tires up to the guy in Zionsville tomorrow and get them road load balanced. That has seemed to fix almost all my other bias problems in the past. The A is at Tom Culbersons gettin a new hood ( fastest hood guy in Indy) and i will change out the quickchange gears to a 3:00 before we leave. Looking forward to the pileup. A special thanks to sedanman for finishing my window gl*** on the car. Got to be a huge relief on those 40 degree nights.
Ive been ready. The car on the other hand is on its way. Making alternator brackets tomorrow nite, and I have to do some adjustments-car keeps dying, I think I just need to make some carb adjustments. Then Friday Im takin it to get exhaust hopefully. Ive driven it around the block a couple of times so far though. Itll be full of all my budies on the way there. taking Rt 30 to Rt 47 and cruisn through Yorkville.
Wish I was going, but the Pushrods up in Fortville are putting on a show and EVERY ONE of their members came to our show so I will be going to theirs.
Can't wait! I'm sad the Krylon car won't be making it 3 in a row, but it's more work than any of us have time to get completed. It will make a glorious return next year with a new roar.
i'll be wiring kens 28 coupe tonight finishing the brakes tomorrow and hopefully running on thursday its going to be close oh and trying to get the olds lowered and running better no sleep for the wicked tom
i got the alternator wired up and drove the Buick around the block a couple of times this week. goin to put insurance on it tonite so I can drive it around a bit and put some miles on her. I took tomorrow off of work so i can get exhaust put on it and work out the brakes. (LF is locking up) I think I got it running pretty good though. It will be a cold ride iwth no p***enger side windows and no heater. Looking forward to meetin everyone
