Too clean. Actually it makes me feel guilty for not washing mine!

 

x3 Looks great!

 

Thanks all! It was a good weekend to give her a good washing.
I'd like to replace the stock wheels, so I need to decide on some wheels that would look good. I'm thinking about these:

I think they're the same but different color. Any suggestions.

Evening all:

7000 grand to fix the trans?? i'm like holly sittt! what broke?

now as to nomads who in our age group fails to like that cool look they had along with the almost like look of the 57/58? Pontiac safari
there was one there for the car show section of nostalgia weekend a 58 with factory Pontiac ram jet fuel injection like chevy had. that alone is one very rare item to find.

island runs the nostalgia show 2 times a year .the track alone is a time trip. with it still looking as it did when it opened in 1960 big daddy will be there over the weekend of aug 1st the very weekend that 50 years ago he broke the 200 mph mark with a 201.34 at 7.78 seconds. on aug 2nd 1964 http://www.islanddragway.com/index....h-anniversary-weekend?Itemid=1&filter_reset=1

 

Morning Charlie...guess you an I are the early risers...Went past a track up in Catawissa PA this weekend it's called Numidia Raceway...the lots were full with campers and cars. Site says they been there since '64...never knew it...full 1/4 mile NHRA sanctioned track...I remember seeing "Big Daddy" race at National as well as the "Hemi under Glass" and a few other big names(too early to tax the brain to remember the names)...

 

racer names I don't forget, don garlits, don pardom connie kalitta Jungle Pam" Hardy ,
Shirley Muldowney

 

The trans does not have the ability to be fluid checked. The housing is a flipped vw bug housing. Full synchro less hillbrin (sp) gears.
They didn't use enough oil in the setup. Burned the entire thing up.
So before we take it back they need to have the ability to check the fluid.
Just the tip of the iceberg. Brake bias 180 reversed. Bad master cyl. List goes on.
Non level check is normal for this setup. WTF. I check fluids before each race.
It only takes once for this to happen. Not going to happen to us again.
They have to figure it out.
