winter stuff
Dialed in the anti roll bar,put tubes in the slicks,ordered and recieved a custom built dominator, (not installed),did not shovel much snow,did this to go a lttle faster with my 70 Chevelle.
Because the car had the quickest E.T. it ever ran last run of the year, I was thinking it should be OK this year. So let the warm weather come !

I think about what I could have done to my 68 Chevelle; but it sat in garage & has not been fired up in a few months. Boxing, running, homework, work, get beat up some more in boxing, then run. I am living the Hot Rod dream vicariously through you guys right now hearing about your projects. Bixblk- is you Chevelle street friendly- or is it mostly a race car?
Mopar: your wife still has the Cuda right? I didn't know you have the Duster.

Its a 3600 LB street car, but its getting tough on gas :lol:
Its street legal, but I do put it in strip trim when I go the track,open the cut offs and install front and rear tires.
No expressway,but I do go to alot of local cruise nights and car shows.
