Trans in out and should be getting picked up soon to make the trek back to H-town... also sending back the driveshafts because the boots ripped, guess they had a bad batch or something at the driveshaft shop... or so I heard.

we found a few other issues under the car when it got up on the lift... but we will leave that for another date...

below is the trans all packed up, the dang boots that ripped and spit grease everywhere

and...

Daaa taaa daa daa...

my old whip got brought back into the line up to get me through until my car is back on the road... good to have old Flames back on the road!

I enjoyed reading your journal and I am learning a lot from your experience. I know what to do to mine now, just a cold air intake and an exhaust... thats it! no monster power like most of you guys have. I asked bruce to loan me half of speedsters power but I am now backing off from the application, I needed my tranny, differential and axels.

Your pickup is awesome.
I think we have long lost cousins...


But yours does much better "flame" burnouts...
