And so the fun begins...

[James OLC]

Long day... I think that I might have found one of my transmission issues today and definately found a brake issue.

Tomorrow I have to log some miles to be sure.

Hat's off to Rodger and everybody at Ironworks... awesome hospitality and great support. It's really appreciated and badly needed.

Man this car hauls major ass. James is working out a few minior issues but man she runs and stops hard. You should hear how good the car sounds when He does a drives by or Flys by the shop at like 85 mph. MAN

Nice Car James, Don't worry about the black marks out front, when they are 12" wide that is COOL.

Very cool James. Hope the drive down was not to bad? Ironworks looks like a badass place to hang and do some wrenching, lucky you. Now go burn some rubber...

Jimmy, could not find anything specific to the break in process for the Black Gold Differential. Only thing I could find states that you should use "good" lube such as the Redline High Impact. No additives unless you use ordinary lube. Might just need to put some miles on it and then assess the deal. Good to chat with you today, looking forward to buying you adult beverages this weekend, drive safe and have fun 'til then.

Hey Mark, we will be shooting two cars tomorrow in Fontana.. and both have LD three-links! lol.. go figure.

Jim's car and Stiller's '69

We were going to do testing but the track bumped us so it's just a photo shoot this time.

You coming to Costa Mesa?

I just love this car! Just AWESOME!

Steve, I will be going up see the Costa Mesa show, most likely on Saturday. When are you going to be smushing cones? Do you have an idea of when Jim will be running in the Mighty Muscle event, he wasn't sure when he'd be driving in anger. I'd like to be there for that portion, obviously!

Highjack: Jeff's car came out really nice, I still don't care for the wheels, but I love the interior work he did on the car. Obviously the work that BOS did is outstanding too. Funny, Jeff was my first customer, Jim was my second!

See you this weekend!!

I will be abusing cones all day long. The Mighty Muscle (I think) is held throughout the day.

Love Jeff's car, the wheels aren't my style but they are nice and the whole car has a cool "street machine" vibe but with a killer suspension. He really did a nice job on the rear seat with the three link.

You can take Penny for a spin.. I will be running the cheepo spoiler this time

Another long day - finished the nut and bolt, played with ride height, fiddled with the dash, made some minor exhaust tweaks, and ultimately put some really fun miles on the car.

There are still some lingering issues that I need to figure out (like a pesky vibration that comes in at 57 mph but is all gone by about 75) but nothing that seems to be major.

Looking forward to Fontana tomorrow and a cruise up the PCH Friday and then Costa Mesa for the weekend. I can't promise that I'll set the world on fire but at the very least it should be memorable.

[camcojb]

have a great time James.
