    At times you may wonder why there seems to be less gas in it than when you drove it last.
    Great story, glad it didn’t go to an ungrateful grandkid.

    It took me a while to get a handle on my feelings, Finally I figured it out. I'm not happy that I got this car because I lost a great friend . But I'm glad I have the car ,because I control it's legacy. It will forever be Johns car even when it's p***es on to my son. My son had a great relationship with John too. Bill
     
  3. Sorry to here about John. It's so hard to lose a good friend.:( But you were a great friend too. All the work that you helped him with. It meant a lot to him. He knew you would take the best of care of his COOL Hot Rod. Enjoy all the great memories that you guys had together. The coupe is in great hands! I love the whine of a Q.C. Like said 140 wt. and, yeah that's the side leveling plug. See ya at ***berland this fall.

    Yes, 140 wt. on the street for the reasons Stan stated. Also, if the change gears are not helical cut, you can get rid of a lot, if not all the noise by replacing the straight cut gears with helical gears. 60 years of running a quick change in every car I've built has taught me these lessons.
