Default IT's BACK!!!!

Car is back to normal....what a difference. Convertor is fresh, Koulene Clutches are in the trans, a few mods to allow crisper firmer shifts and in a word...it shifts awesome! We took it around the block a few times...Things we're fine from the start. Then, we tried the old stall PUNCH in front of the shop WOO HOO, over 70 feet of rubber, plenty of smoke and that good old roar of the 383 :D It's nice to be in the passenger seat when that happens.

R E L I E F..!

Happy Camper is a good description for me. Going to hit the once former hot spot...that is supposedly RICE SPOT now..but we'll see. Gotta put some miles on this sucker.

John, M.T. E/T Streets are going to hopefully send me in to the mid 11's.

JD :D :D :D

Thanks fellas!

I Went to the OLD HANGOUT, Berlin Turnpike tonight. I met Corzvette69..and a few of His friends. Saw a few Rice vs Stang on the street, saw a few busted on the street on my way home..It's a mad scene! Cars and the little hotty girls are everywhere. :)

I put about 100 miles on it, feels good! I can't wait to HOOK and crank down the track.

That was a quick Tranny job. They did it in 1 or 2 days ?

Glad everything is working good now.

Hey Vic

It went in Monday...Convertor took the trip and was back yesterday morning. My tranny guy actually chased down UPS for it hehe. Tranny was completely re-done Thursday and waited to go in. I saw it all go togehter yesterday...and when it fired up I got goosebumps!

Sorry Frank, I was enjoying the scene with Corzvette69 last night..IMPORTS IMPORTS IMPORTS! :D. LOTS of turbo noise.

Corey...that pic and the story behind it is hilarious. How about the moron who threw the bottle in the road last night. :rolleyes:
