Thanks for the nice words
Unclebob - the motor is a 1776 with dual weber 40s, 041 heads. Not crazy fast, but pretty damn quick.
Growler and I went down to his dad's shop today and finished up my suspension. I have to give props to Growler and his dad. They totally know their stuff. Yo Chuck Thanks!!! The beam is narrowed 5 inches with CB Perf 5 wide discs, dropped spindles and Berg adjusters. I think we dropped the front about 4-5 inches. And we lowered the back 1 outer....which is a couple inches? not sure exactly. I might still lower the front a bit more.
I need to get new rear tires and mount them up on the 5 spokes. I should get to that next week. I don't have too many good pics yet, but here are two. Try to ignore the mismatched rims for now. But, you can see the ride height pretty good.

By all means please do. You guys are welcome to stop by here if you need a place to sleep. I have plenty of room. I don't think I'm really on your way if you were driving though. But if you were flying into Ontario I am a couple miles from the airport. You could rent a car and sleep here the night before the show. I think I am about 45 miles from Irvine at the most. PM me if you decide to come the offer is open. |
