No I didn’t but I can actually see tire now up top. The jack goes under without having to find the sweet spot and it doesn’t scrape like it did. I haven’t really put it thru the paces but it didn’t scrape the places I went today that it used too. The spring combination is UMI 1 inch drop in the front and AC DELCO station wagon in the rear.

Well next Thursday I’m gonna make a 500 mile round trip drive to the Run to the Sun car show in Myrtle Beach. After I get back (18th) I will be taking my car to a local carb shop to have the carb dialed in perfectly to my combo. I wish I could do it before but he doesn’t have an opening.

Put a wide band on it and see where it is on your drive in all the circuits.

Wish me luck. I’m off on a 600 mile round trip adventure. Going to The Run to the Sun in Myrtle Beach. This will be the first real test. Please pray for me!

Man this has been a blast and considering the headliner and back quarter boards aren’t done I didn’t expect this kind of reception. I am tired of talking to people though LOL. I had two people ask me for a price but it’s not for sale.

That’s awesome- good to see you getting well deserved enjoyment. The 64’s draw lots of attention- cosmetically, my Firebird is significantly nicer than the 64 Lemans but the Lemans gets way more attention.
