Thank you for the feedback. They look good on your car...and for an old fart's car, (mine) I think they'll be fine.

Now I just need to find some metal valve stems with TPMS sensors (or that I can use with the existing sensors) so I can run it on the salt flats (and then spend 2 weeks cleaning the underside of it.) Dorman makes some, but I don't know how good they are. We'll see.

Well, I have a terminal case of "salt fever." And since I've been tryin to get into the 130 Club for the last 3 years...well, I'm gonna do it this year or else! Then I'll go back to the Monte Carlo and shoot for the 150 Club.

I had a little problem a coupla years ago when the pinion yoke broke as I shifted into 4th at what the GPS called 137 mph and the driveshafr wreaked havoc underneath the car. Destroyed everything between the rear end and the engine block:

and
http://www.chevyasylum.com/85monte/85monte30.html

Then it just wouldn't pull over 3000 rpm last year. So that project's on hold until next year.

Got my strut tower brace back from powder coating earlier looks so much better than that aluminum look. Also painted the bolts red to add some contrast. I'll be adding some airbrushing to it later next week probably but I'm happy so far.

Learned that the dealer blew my motor up and that them or GM isn't going to replace the damaged pistons, only the bent valves.

Ran an 8.24 1/8th mile, and did a run with nannies off for the first time, but they had turned off the clock, so don't know how I did, other than not killing myself
