The Beast is back on the road again...    :woo:   I still need to do a few minor tuning tweaks, but overall I am done.  I still need to give it a good cleaning.  5 months of sitting and working on it sure gets it dirty......

Glad you got it going again Ken!   About all I did was dream of getting started on my car.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Well I'm replacing the rear springs and swapping out the 7 1/4 for a 8 3/4 , then adding torque boxes.   Then the front end, replace the k-frame,torsion bars, headers, rad to start with, then.....

My son loves riding in it but has to streach to see over that 6 pak hood.   :bigshades:

Took my sons to my older son's practice baseball game in it yesterday (Saturday) and for some shakedown driving after new rear end and Gear Vendors overdrive installation and rear disc brake conversion. Rain today, so I get to finish the bookcase I'm building for my wife.

Was going to just air it out while I took the snow tires off the daily driver since it was a nice day.  Didn't realize the battery was hooked up and the dome light was on for like an hour or more on a 6 year old battery and the car hasn't been started in 6+ months.  Gave a crank and it still had life in the battery, a couple seconds more and the engine breathed to life.

I just sat and listened to the exhaust.  :)

Spent some of today adjusting my CAP UCA's after my alignment last week. Guess they didn't come set up to "standard" as advertised. But I think I got it all figured out, back to get the alignment finished tomorrow!
