Now I have 3 seconds & 3 thirds in the last 6 years. I have got to figure how to get the First place one I only want one.

Was that the show in Frederick, MD? Congrats!

No shows or cruises for me this weekend. I did install a fan shroud in the '66. Too hot to try it out though. Maybe next weekend. It's supposed to be under 110*.

Hope that went OK.

What a rush... learned to drive a total different way and when you come down the back stretch and the speedo is well over 100 and you have to break hard to do a hard right turn you have a new respect for brakes and tires. this is one amazing day. My butt did a few puckers that day but amazing how comfortable you get at full throttle to full brake and back again!!! And do not...I repeat..do not touch the clutch and down shift just go like hell

Sounds like fun.

They told us to take our fire extinguishers,and my coffee mug out of the car. I believe I had bugs in the radiator. To much hydrodiping of skulls and carbon fiber,also personelized floyd mats. I was in the mild modefied class..

Original headlights are back on. Only a few minor glitches like some missing bolts but nothing a trip to AutoZone could not fix. It is great to have good friends to help out. Those guys were like pros. Also polished & cleaned some parts while things were taken apart. Today Ruby got the best cleaning she has had in over a year. A good bath & cleaner wax. I wiped down wheels & under hood but did not get them detailed, or the windows Rain-Xed or the inside done. I just have to do it a little at a time now. Anyway, the paint looks a LOT better. A few pics:

That stinks that they are leaking. Are they OEM?

Looks great Jan. I need to polish and wax mine but it's at the top shop now. I hope to have it fixed and back in the garage by this weekend.
