Pulled the motor and trans on December 30th to get the 855 issues corrected by GFI as I have a very early build. Seems all better now! Reinstalled the K-member and brought the car back home for the two months it was down. Also upgraded the oil pan.

Tti headers, 1.08" torsion bars in an A-Body require a flatten air chisel. More undercarriage pictures the weekend of March 15-17

Back home March 20th, installed new Corbeau LG1 (W) seats (approved by my youngest grandson) and brackets for autocross. Also updated the front swaybar links, replaced the upper ball joints with taller ones all to improve handling on the autocross course. That bug has bit me bad! And she's back up and running March 27th and running the March 30th autocross event for the 2024 season! Don't really want to do that thrash again!

This car looks pretty good as I just couldn't have a POS to drive. However, I built it to drive, drag, autocross and track. It absolutely had to be functional and handle abuse. Autocross will shake anything lose that is not tight. It also twists the car in violent ways when going through the slalom, braking hard and hanging the tail on corners! But by God it's so much fun it probably should be illegal!

Hey what radiator are you running? I started a thread and tagged you in it at the end asking for help on radiator hoses for a Cold Case radiator. Guessing you didn't see it.
BTW, tried to PM you as well, but your inbox is full.

I'll try and find it, it's a Champion 26" for a B-Body with both the inlet and outlet on the passenger side.

Really just interested in what radiator hoses you used. I only asked about the radiator to see if it was a match. It look similar and his Cold Case has the inlet and outlet on the passenger side as well.

I'm pretty sure the upper is a Gates 20905, but I had to cut in the middle and joint it with a connector, note the corbin clamps in the middle of the hose

I do a really crappy job of updating on FABO. I follow Tim Talbot's "12:05 Garage" build and we've become good friends as well as with Dan Archer, "DANTRA" who I met last fall at MoParty. Now that spring is slowly getting to the mid-west, we're only a few weeks away from autocross and drag racing! I'm still waiting on leafspring sliders to install. I did a couple of upgrades over the winter of 24/25, a Ford Ranger front spoiler, new bushing for my front swaybar and realigned it so the links will be straight, spaced my throttle pedal 1.5" off the firewall so I can slide my foot over to the brake pedal without having to lift my heel and added 6mm spacers all around as I changed my tire size down to 245/40-18x9 and 274/35-18x9.5 200TW super sticky Falken RT660 autocross/street tires.

Good to See an update! I see a lot on Facebook but like to see it here. Do you have any better pictures of the new spoiler?
Great job! Very cool

I should be able to get some good ones this weekend. We have traces of snow on the ground this morning. Thankfully they didn't salt the roads yesterday!!!
