Schwartz project "Temptress"

[winfield69]

Jeff-

Your latest project is looking pretty good. It is going to be a mad thrash to finish it by the Power Tour. I won't be able to make it with the Camaro because I won't have time to finish my few outstanding items.

I was wondering if you could answer a couple questions about the chassis I purchased from you.

Do you have a picture and part number of the center section seals you are using these days in the 9" rear ends? Have you had any problems with them leaking?

What angle should the upper trailing arms on the rear axle be relative to horizontal? Mine seem to be at a relatively steep angle at normal ride height. Consequently, upward deflections in the rear axle cause the yoke to rotate down. Is this a problem?

Thanks in advance for the response.

Sooo.. which one of you 2 will be driving? 'Cause I know NOTHING scares Jeff. Well, other than being single and out on the town partying with you!!


I have heard some stories.....

My brother is flying up from OZ and Im flying over from Hong Kong and we're drivin' the Temptress. Jeff's taking the Ultima and Dale is taking his Transam.

I was planning on following you guys out of McHenry County and do the Madison to Racine leg.

There's no way I can get my t-5 trans quieted down in time ( I think) Plus, we haven't made any hotel reservations.

Hopefully Dale put in a larger oil cooler on the T/A. It runs hot at speed, he didn't have an O/D trans when we went to the Summer Nats 2 yrs ago.
