I went to a car show this afternoon in my 6pk barracuda. My car was dissasembled back in 1973 , I mean totally apart. I had it shipped to my house in 2006, then built everything for it and tagged it to drive on the road. Well today It made it's first maiden voyage of 100 miles. with 391 gears and leaving the tach on 2800 rpms. I even have a 22 inch radiator in the car. it was 97 degrees out today and I did not take any tools along. I was tense, but it did excellent. I left the show at 73 to return home and got in just at dark. I didnt want to risk night driving with all being new. When I get my dana 60 this week, it will have 354 gears in it and I believe I will be happy with them. I am also getting tired of swapping gears. I have done it 4 times in 2 months. It was getting old trying everything out.
There wasnt but 5 or so mopars there and 100 chevies and about 50 fords. I was amazed at how many people kept coming over to my car to look at it and make some nice comments. Mind you, my car is just a street car, but I did wash and dry it just before I went. It felt good hearing the comments, it told me all my work had done good. They talked about the M46 scoops alot to. When I left, I cruised through the chevy section and left a pair of rubber melted tracks in front of there show cars. Had to let them see what the cuda440-6 emblems was for on the hood.
