So she's alive. Won't be long. I HOPE.

almost? friggin beautiful the way it is :drool: (for a blue car that is...)
 
Still got a few things to work out for John - need to install a new parking brake cable once it arrives, need to remove and re-lube the speedometer cable, still have to install the sun visors and spare tire. Plus, to replace the rear yoke u-joint straps with the girdle setup he got from Summit.

He took her home today for a little show off time tonight at his Halloween Party. Hope it's a big hit :)

WOW, now I know what Torque means. LOL. 30 miles on the highway, she did NOT like it. Screaming at 3500 RPM with those 391, she is surely an "around town" car. Lots of looks and thumbs up from others, feels good. Some detail tweaks here and there and I think we're cooking. Let my buddy Jim drive her, I'm pretty sure he needed a new pair of boxers after he hit it hard. She doesn't like 20 MPH that's for sure, she wants to go. Love it. Looks nice in the garage!! Nice work Gary.

Per your request: In the CAVE. If I didn't knock that wall down, it would have never fit. She's tight. :)

My car came with 3.91s, and that thing screamed goin down the road. so since I wanted to be able to cruise with it and didn't really plan to race it I got them out pretty quick and swapped in a set of 3.23s. It's quick enough for me!
 
my roadrunner came with 4.88s......it was awesome driving driving back and forth to the mailbox.....took my brother for a ride and he asked me when i was going to shift out of 1st gear....told him i was in 4th.....forgetaboutit :groucho: :groucho: :groucho:

Do you still have the 3.91 chunk? If so, are you willing to part with it?

3.91s are highway gears for me, just about everything I own has 4.56s. :lol:

But your highways move at 2mph most of the time :lol: I put 4.88s in my first hemi car and loved it.
