The white '69 is now registered and insured!! Been non-op since 2000.

Installed QA-1 single adjustable shocks on all four corners this morning and then drove her in the pouring rain. Thanks to the new weather stripping throughout no leaks!!

Scheduled for an alignment tomorrow. Trunk pan install scheduled for this weekend.

Going to be driving her around this week quite a bit to check for any quirks or bugs and if all is well will probably drive it to the bay area for its scheduled trunk pan install.

Got the alignment done on the car today and it drives great!! I'm really impressed with the Baer Track Plus brake system. I've had to adjust the proportioning valve three times now and can still probably use more bias towards the rear.

I started with running an 850 Holley carb but then started thinking fuel mileage and switched to a 750 Holley. After driving around for awhile I've decided to switch back to the 850 as I noticed a loss in power on the top end with the 750 which is typical of dual plane manifolds. They tend to like big carberators.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

If you have any more, can you post a few more pics of the trunk work? I am in the middle of mine and I wanted to see where the main pain was trimmed in reference to the extensions. Thanks!

Oh yeah, how do the front springs feel? Will you be changing them out?

Car looks great, by the way!

It didn't. Still need to pull fender off to install heater box.

Front springs actually feel great but I cut to much and have a bit of rubbing when leaning into to the corners so I will be raising the car an inch.

Thanks for the props.
