Hey guys,

Registered about a year ago. Never made any posts. I do more lurking than anything when I visit from time to time. Never autocrossed or been on a road course. Have stuck to casual drag racing But wanted to give something else a try. The car used to have a tubular k member, manual steering, no front sway bar, Midwest chassis anti roll bar in the rear, still has a short torque arm, lots of items removed to make it lighter, 15x3.75 and 15x10 wheels with drag radials. Has a Ford 9” with 3.50 gears and a mildly built up 4l60e with a yank 3600 converter. Consistently running 7.40 in the 1/8th.

So in the last year I’ve put a stock k back in that I welded up all the seams that weren’t from the factory, added stock sway bars back on for now, still on stock shocks and springs, power steering, front and rear bumper supports, and 17x11s on all corners with 315’s.

It’s been fun being able to go out and run around twisty back roads again. I’ve been enjoying to car a lot more this year. I got to the point that it was more work and effort than fun to drive the car how it was before. Decided on a change. Still have not done an autocross yet. Some things I want to button up first before that but I think I’m getting pretty close.
