    Re: My 409/'55 Chevy Project

    Drove the car home this afternoon.

    New front coils......gained about 2" in lift.

    Installed ball joint spacers so it pretty much drives
    like it did before.....goes down the road straight.

    Hood scoop is going in next week for power coating.
    Got a few other wrinkles to work on and hope to make
    first cruise tomorrow night.

    I do have to have one tube re worked on the headers.....and
    guess who gets to do the deal?
    Yeah......Junior.

    We're meeting up at a car show in his home town second weekend
    of May......about 50 minute drive.

            anyone else have this burning desire to see a Monk v. Squirrel grudge match? the thought of it makes me all tingly inside.
