Well, a little update. Since the heads n cam, accessories drive, aluminum firewall, Baer remaster (boosterless), Whole new CJ's Wired wiring harness, I decided to do a few more "things". Being that i missed most the driving events this year, i could of made this weekends American Auto-x event but decided to fore-go on beating the car as i'm driving it to Chicago from the Bay Area for the start of the Good-guys road tour, Chicago to Texas Motor Speedway, Sept 24-30.

So, while i had my oldest son's wedding in June, with the reception in our back yard, the majority of January - June was focused on the house and family. July went in a blink (did squeeze a trip to New York in with friends again) and August was vacation-thirty at Tahoe!!

In the mean time, july to current, ordered and installed 6p Baer calipers in the front, helped greatly street driving with no booster, still looking forward to the track and see how it does, Hopefully October's Shelby event, if the Texas road trip is "uneventful" and the car is delivered in time...we'll see.

Also ordered Dr. Sutton's secret sauce recipe Ridetech's for the front shocks (single adjustable) as the whole front end is "up in the air" with a possible change to the new Speedtech set up. Gonna wait a year or two for that too happen, in the mean time, the front end whoa's are cured (ended the "floaty" feeling i couldn't adjust out with the previous coil-overs) and installing the
triple adjustable Ridetech's for the rear. I really wanted to support Ridetech, they've done alot for our community and provide some of the best service in the business for our hobby.

Recharged the a/c, lowered it a bit more.

To do, wipers, sort out the sound system, exhaust muffler change and rout the back exhaust over the axle and out the back, align, make a "modern" console, and a new trunk lock.

Oh, then complete respray and body work and new interior LOL...Jk, well, not really, just not now......

Plus a new front spoiler on the P-car....

Mike the car looks great and I am really interested in the new updated shocks as my 70 has a similar floaty feeling in the front.

Sounds like good changes were made. Let us know how it feels, Mike. Have fun!

Badass car. I's so glad you ditched the old wheels. This car was begging for rims that it deserved
How do you like the DSE rear?

Any updates?

The painter had an opening six months sooner than expected so it's in the body shop now. The DSE rear is very good, money well spent, this dude installed it ¥¥. The Forgelines are sweet, I do like the black better than the silver I had done...
The car is great to drive, just can't get enough of it!!
