kid442 40 Posted December 8, 2017 John Thanks for the kind comment! It has been fun and we enjoyed Hershey so much. All the people made it worthwhile.

r1lark 134 Posted August 12, 2018 Congratulations!! What's in the jug under the hood - is it a NOS jug of the special Jetfire injection fluid (can't remember the correct name)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kid442 40 Posted May 10 New update! Installed the correct 10" flywheel, clutch assy, and super T10. The stock t10 had a 2:56 first gear and was hard to get it moving with slipping the clutch. The new trans has a 3:42 first gear. That makes a big difference!! Next install the new replated rear bumper. Still more to do!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
