Just as slow as before my mods..

Steve has listed it for sale. Probably the right move. If you're not mechanically inclined (no offense). You had better have a RELIABLE mechanic to keep things in order.
Also a "trans guy" still may not have a clue how to adjust these old school rides. Just like the previous "mechanics" obviously dont know jack squat.
Good luck, hope it finds a good home.
PS, my kids arent mechanically inclined, so when the "time comes" the cuda will be sold.
