In the 70's here and not a cloud in the sky.  :woo:
I had sent out a master cylinder to get sleeved and needed to install it before I could get the car out of the garage.  I got it all prebled and installed, and it worked great!  Thanks to Brake and Equipment Warehouse in MN for the good work.  Then I changed the oil, put the top down and went out driving. :burnout:
I'm hoping for 5 or 6 months of weather like today, especially on car show and cruise days!

WOW that does look like alot of fun!!   :grinyes:  Great pics too!  Glad the master cylinder worked out the first time!  It was a pretty nice day here but no time for the convertible today as I have way too much spring cleanup and setup to do before I can play!

Weather is going to be good tomorrow. I'm taking the Cuda to Atco Raceway for some time trials. I'll see what my load will run with my new gears....
They are also having a East Coast Stock/Super Stock Association and a Nostaglia S/S race.

Hellz yeah guys!  Wife and I took out the Barracuda today for some window-down motorin'.  No convertible here but I'm more of a coupe guy anyways.

Still it was nice - got the motor nice and warm.  She was runnin' real nice by early evening.  Couple'a wheel peels here and there.   :naughty:

Hey 4cruizn - what kind of tires does your 'Cuda have?  I like the tread pattern on 'em.

Very cool! I still don't know how you guys can live like that. 6 months on 6 months off. :eek4: I'd hate to not to be able to drive my cars for 1/2 a year no matter how much I wanted too. If I lived in the States I'd be somewhere near Pete.  :icon16:

Anyhow, must have been a goose bump felling day.  :ylsuper:

True but mine like many I'm guessing is finished and if it needs work is only a 1 day in and out job. :cheers:
I'd just got nuts if I was restricted by weather or snow on the ground. :crying:
