Thank you Dan! Never been to Carlisle yet, so i look forward to pics.

[Chris G.]

Great pics Dan. That 45K camera can do work kid! 

[BananaDan]

Ha, I wish, then I could sell it and buy another car!

Thanks for posting the pics Dan....nice camera work 

So, how is the car driving with the new updates ? It must be a lot nicer out on the freeway

She's sweet now Ron, thanks for asking.  I compare her to Jekyl and Hyde now.  She's a beast at red lights, sounds mean idling, purrs liks a kitten on the highway (as quiet as my Jeep Liberty) but can still go from 70 to 100 in a few seconds.  The steering was still sloppy which made for an interesting trip but I picked up a new Steer & Gear Stage 2 Firm box at the show and it will be replacing my loosey goosey box in a few weeks.

Great news Dan ! I guess we hit the right combo with cam/stall/gearing and overdrive !  

That 303 cam is a nice grind  

Nice job on the detail work....those hood callouts are sharp

I didn't put the 303 in yet, I still have the Isky Mega 280.  I wanted to see how the Isky ran with the new converter and rear end for a while before I made any costly decisions like a cam change.  I'm also considering swapping my 906's out for some Eddy heads so I may wait and do both at the same time down the road and give me some time to save up the cash.  The changes I did make cost a bit and had to pick and choose what to bite off this year so I went with the converter, OD and rear for now.

Here are a few pics I took.

Hope you don't mind me adding to yours Dan. I just didn't want to clutter things up with another thread.



















And here is a link to some more

[BananaDan]

No worries, it's all good!  Nice pics...

[Steve P.]

IS it just me or does that Valiant look pretty cool shortened up?

It looks fine, could be those duck feather allergies acting up & blurring your vision.


By the way Dan, those pics came out really nice, I hate my camera even more now.

Nice pics! These were some of my favorites:

Oh so nice!!! And not green  


Loved the paper tags/underhood markings  


This one was a mess (in their pics) before resto:  


and this one was smashed in an accident, not too long ago... Cleaned up nicely!  

[nvrbdn]

great pic's.

[resq302]

I actually sell / repro the antifreeze tag and the factory ok tags.  I had them with me at Carlisle.  I honestly thought that R6 red charger that was a basket case would have taken 1st.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would come home with a first at this show due to the quantity and quality of the nicely restored cars that seemed to be nicer than mine.

I'm curious if that was a 4dr turned into a 2 door wannabe?

[bsakal]

BananaDan,

It was great to meet you, and thanks for the torque converter!

I don't think it was a 4 door. But it definately was someone with a saws all, set of torches and a few cases of beer I'm sure!

[Steve P.]

Looks to me that it MAY have been a 2 door to start with, but it now has front doors from a 4 door and a good section removed after the B pillar. I like it.. Would love to know the original WB and what it is now.....??
