I busted my hump this week and with help from a few friends we got the front suspension back on.

A huge thanks goes out to my buddies that helped and especially Dan Vasic as it seems like I text or call him EVERY time I work on it.
[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img] This is the first time it's sat on the ground since December 22nd. I took it around the block today and it steers a hell of a lot better than it did. I take it to get the front end aligned tomorrow morning. Kurt ![]() ![]()

I am having problems with the front hold down clip for the master cylinder.
Every one I've tried is either not tall enough or not wide enough. Any thoughts or solutions to my dilemma? Thanks, Kurt ![]()

I took the Blue Bomber to Byron Dragway with some friends last Sunday for the first time in two years. In that two years, I have installed the Hurst Ram Rod shifter, line lock and rebuilt the front suspension. This was just a Test & Tune day so I was just running the car for fun. It's amazing how I forgot how to do the basic things at the track since the last time I was there. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]
I bought a pair of used Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro rear tires as my ET Street tires were all used up.......they didn't work as well as the ET Street tires but still a pretty good tire once I got them heated up. My first two passes......I spun the tires in first gear. My 3rd (last) pass the car hooked pretty good but I had a passenger......my wife Karen, who was a little reluctant to go at first but she is a real trooper. Below are a couple pictures of the day and my time slips. My 60' times were horrible but that was due to the tires and I need more seat time at the track, other than that, I can't complain about the consistency. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] On a side note....my best time ever was in Joliet at the SCR reunion a few years ago which was 12.15@115.
