    Still adjusting stuff. Bet I lifted it up 50 times. It's within 1 mil. with the cross.  Can't afford the alignment yet.But it runs/drives pretty good!  Not sure about that 3/8 " fuel line...   Too big?   It's a gas hog. Mayby a 750 cfm now? :dunno:    I havn't launched it yet.getting a 2nd opinion on the pinion angle first. But close. puting it through the paces for sure. I really appreciate the encouragement. The car and me have come a long way for sure. It's hard when you don't understand this stuff.     I have to get some vids for you guys. This thing is just what i wanted thancs to you all!!   I drive it everyday...  but it's no daily driver!     I luv it!! :icon16:

    Hey Robert, what carb do you have now?  What is your gas mileage difference after the new 3/8 line?  Did you change anything else besides the fuel line? 

    I went with 3/8 line and it definately likes the gas.  The heavier the foot, the expedentially worse it gets, hehe

    Yesterday I decided to do a canyon run. The first this year. She can really go! I didn't let loose yet,But may consider driving gloves soon. Started foaming at the mouth once.  Got her set much better now.Front L was low,Causing the R,r. to be high.Not perfect,But way better. Still playing with the Adj. prop. valve. The rear rotors are getting there. When these braxes heat up a tad they will send you through the windshield.Cool!     I havn't reinstalled the front spoiler.You can see the RMS stuff better.  Alot of other drivers notice it now.     I just have to say THANX EVERYBODY!  It is way more than i expected.Or dreamed.  Out of control really.  Good to rest and drive it again!     :burnout:        Pics are from where a Vehix.com commercial was filmed...   NCAR.   Nat. center for Atmospheric research. About a bloc from my house.What a view! The small outcropping is devils thumb.,And the large flat rox are referred to as the Flatirons.  #1,2,3,4.   HI from Boulder! :wave:

    Car is a sweet machine!

    May even handle better if you lower the rear a tad more?  Maybe 1/2"?

    Still waiting on lower rear shox. Ya,LOWER!!!  the better!  Custom stainless headers will be helpful.The TTI's point downward.I might "alter" them someday. Those pics are from before I adjusted the front again. It's better.  Most run bags to get that low. I'm trying.    I need new hoops now.12" rears.  Taller too. I got no money.   But someday fatty Goodyears.New exaust,alum. rad.,don't even get me going on the interior... :blah:   And paint...    and...     glass...           and...              I'm a nutcase.  ::)

    It's a great looking car as-is, but I can understand, a car is never done.

    I think if you're going to paint it, I suggest getting rid of the rear trunk/quarter chrome, fill in the side markers (at least make 'em flush), and maybe a front rubber bumper.

    Cheap mods would be to take out the rear backup lens and get all four taillights to light up.  Round rear lights are the best out of all the 'Cudas IMHO.

    Yup,  shaving everything.Handles,lights,bumperettes.Mayby flush mounted glass. Cool new LED sequencial tailights,red halo's up front. Custom front valence insert.Glass bumpers.   We've even toyed with a really cool wide body idea.   Lot's of great ideas! Thanx.       I told the new led round tailight guy to come see CC.c. All 4 170.00 !  With cool turn signals.       I luv these cars. :woo:

        This chassis saver is nasty stuff.  Doesn't dry, It hardens. Very tough stuff. A great product. 

    Hey Robert great build!!!  Does it handle as good as you thought?  Big difference over the stock suspension?   

    Can you tell me how much Chassis Saver did you need to cover your undercarriage? 

    Thanks,
    Chris
