    Thought about ordering door jamb switches. Went to ebay and got confused. I want all new switches....this will require some more thought tomorrow.

    Drove it down the street, boost came on and traction went away. I have a feeling my 8" or drive shaft wont like this very long.

    as long as the traction goes away...they will be fine...
    when they start hooking up, then there may be a problem...:tiphat:

    Well while burnouts are cool and fun, I'd like for there to not be the chance to blow either one up if I ever get traction haha.

    Yesterday i removed my old fuel lines after removeing the tank a few days ago. Didn take long at all. Got my new steel lines. Bought a new pipe bender just for sh>ts an giggles. The plan today is to bend the new ones up and hopefully run the new lines and flare and reattach to the fuel pump. Then too carb. Tank tomorrow.

    Had an ugly sound each time the car went through some road imperfection,so i took The car to the shop, lifted it, checked the ball joints and VOILA! :bouncy: the nut of the pass side was VERY loose, and the dust cover was off, so i took everything that was on the way to lower the control arm and put the cover again with a little grease and then i put everything back and the noise magically dissapeared! :clap:
