    Finally pulled the car out of its hole in the back of the shop from last Sept. It had valve cover leaks and a plug wire that was not staying on. Re-sealed the valve cover gaskets and fixed the plug wire. Not big jobs but getting me primed for this season. Next job maybe this week or this weekend will be to install my Innovate wide band O2 sensor to actually get it tuned right.

    Getting the seat buttons tucked the right way.
    Legendary Auto Interiors didn't do it right so now they had to be taken out to be re done again.

    I welded two bungs into my exhaust and bought one of there kits. Makes tuning so much more enjoyable! I'm confident that you'll love it!

    I'm sure that will be the case. Looking forward to getting the EFI where it will start right and not fall flat. My understanding is that the sensor will make a world of difference.

    Got a new mini starter in the Yellow Cuda.

    Cannot believe that it's easier to put a mini in a Cuda with headers than stock exhaust!!!

    Rebuilding front suspension and steering components.  Replacing those LCA bushing was a *****.  :pullinghair: :swear: :stomp: Went to Harbor Freight today and bought a 20 ton press to finish the job.  Should have done that first.   :banghead:
