Dropped it off at Hill's Rod & Custom in Pleasant Hill, CA for some safety stuff/checks, ride height/corner weight/alignment and some rubbing issues to resolve hopefully all related and easy to solve.

Curt Hill races and builds all kinds of cars including his green K5 Blazer that he dropped on top of a C5 Corvette chassis running a 468ci LS engine. He did a ton of work on my buddy Dustin Reed's C10 (gray) with a 416 (I helped build the motor and sold him a T56 Magnum). http://digitaleditiononline.com/publ...articleBrowser

2 weeks ago it was in the high 80's and I was out on my waverunner. This week it has been in mid 30's in the am and low 60's during the day. Fall has arrived in Northern California. Getting some much needed rain also as we have been in drought for waaaaay to many years and lakes are at an all time low level. Can't wait to drive this car... it will be on wastegate spring for the first thousand miles until I break in the clutch/T56 Magnum and work out any other bugs with the car. Thus far the pedal pressure is light and the 11lb aluminum flywheel drives GREAT from McLeod.
