Good stuff Lance!! I hope the work, and parts expense, pays off handsomely with a big W in Putnam.

Interesting comment on the wheels.... and it reminded me that maybe it was you that used Shark Skin or similar sealer on them?? I was wondering how that was going to work out should you need to come back and clean them up again. Some of these sealers work great - until they don't - and then they're hard as hell to get off when you want to bring the luster back. Will be interesting to read what takes place there.

RE: Alignment specs

I drove the '33 on a couple long road trips and wasn't happy with the front end. Bring it home and throw on the toe plates - and it has 1/8" toe OUT.... WTF! Set it to 1/8th toe in... Check the caster... it's set at 2*.... another WTF! Set it to 7* and BAM! Drives like a different car. LOL After only 10,000 miles I had to buy new front tires because of the tread wear on the inside edges.
