Hey Ed, Likewise- We did great considering all the bad weather we battled. The car runs fantastic, your tune is spot on. About a month after you left I dropped the trans to adjust the hyd throw out bearing. The clutch grabs in the middle of the travel and the car doesnt buck on leaving from idle. I relized that with the clutch grabbing immediatly off the floor that the rpms were dropping under load before I was giving it the gas to get her going. I cant believe how this thing accelerates its like a jack rabbit. Ill shoot you an email soon, got some pics to show you.

Hey Thanks Roger- I must say your 69 judge is second to none! That car is gorgeous. Glad to hear your doc is getting you dialed in.

Stay healthy- Rich

Great looking car.

I probably missed it, but what's the color on it?

Small update, finally got the front forgeline's re-hooped. had them pull the 3 inch outer hoop and replace it with a 2 inch so the rim is a 9 inch now. The 275s fit good on it, it really doesn't bulge to much. It has a lot more room to at the front fender edge. I think I like the wheel better now since the wheel center is out further or appears that way since it lost 1" of lip. Also had Ogden Chrome do there magic chrome work on a gm rear bumper for me. what a difference from the junk repro I first installed. These do nice work at a reasonable price.

It looks good Rich, it will be a lot better incase of hitting a bigger bump in the road.
