    No 4 links. Ladder bar are ok. Just try and hide the new electronics. The wheels have to be of certain types also.

    Since my attic is so small, it'd have to go back in the basement. That's where it's been since 2012... Until last month. I put it back on to run with the Jr. Stockers at the Tri-Five Nationals. It looks so much better without the bumper, though. However, my E.T.'s are closer to the Jr. Stock level instead of the gasser E'T.'s.

    Hi Doug. It was great seeing you at Tri-Five. Yes, the Fabcraft posi was in at the Tri-Five Nats. I installed it last June, right after the Out-A-Sight Drags in Union Grove. It was an original Pontiac posi unit that broke... Right at the starting line on my 1st run.

    Your cars looked good at TFN. Did your brother replace that tire stem.

    That’s what happens when you try to fit a 250lb gorilla into a tiny car.

    I remember a shorted backup light that had a crew rewiring the whole car.
    Took an old salty mechanic to track that down. :D

    Thank you. Yes, the valve stems on both cheater slicks were replaced. The originals were from about 2013.
    By the way, your 56 wagon reminds me of the one that my parents bought new. Theirs was a 9 passenger with a Power Pack 265 and P.G.

    We would have been sunk without you, James. I still tell people about that to this day.
