It's been a long road that's for sure, all 3 of my brother's passed away during this update to her, miss having my brother's around, but I know they would be proud.
Thank you Johhnny D
 
George Rays drag strip is having a nostalgia race this Sunday, 80 and back qualify to race in the arm drop with George Rays arigenal flag he used back in the day, I know my 2.93 gear ain't helping me but at 3 thousand lbs hope it pulls off a decent pass, so we will see.
Wife is coming and will get pictures of Victoria lined up with some nostalgic old race cars and video of Victoria @RustyRatRod
I backed my rear brakes up a bit and will be putting my back seat in today, and double check rear axel and front end grease.

Hope to have a complete exhaust to the rear bumper soon, don't care for the side short exhaust but it's quiter. I have my 14" rallies in the back of my truck ready to go on, took my tall *** cop wheels and front skinny runners off last night. Should lower my 2.93 gears a bit I figure

Ever mount a pair of tires on something you thought was 5 on 4 1/2 :lol:
Costly mistake, looks like just a pare of up front and steel wheels on the rear till my rat hole grows again and find two Rally wheels and centers, this will do just fine for winter time, if we have one this year,(winter that is).
But she can be enjoyed as is :thumbsup:

Road trip day to families Thanksgiving, clocked 135 miles in her, correct rear size tires helped my 2.94 gears, 65 mph at 22 hundred rpms.
Herb Mc Candless known by Mr 4 speed enjoyed a ride to lunch when him and his son Herb Jr visits George Rays drag strip couple weeks ago.
What a day :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
