Thanks Will. Mine may clean up more easily than I'm anticipating. It has been sitting out in the weather for over 7 years without being touched, so a lot of it may just be Georgia Muck...

Greg has the opposite problem with his. He's gonna have to be careful that he doesn't smack into it because he forgot it was there! :shock:
(Kinda like those YouTube videos we all laugh at. :lol: )

Mark, I did Adjust the nose down again to about 4" above ground.


It' hard to tell in the Pics but I did it.. Everytime the Rear came down the front came up so I adjusted it more :)


I think I already cut out all of those rear door reinforcements :-0

Thanks Rick,

By My calculations Adding In the Loweing Blocks

Ruster is 280# Than Last Year.

That Will Put the Car ~2300# and ~2500# With Me in it.


There's still more weight I can get out of it. :D

Just wait until they get a few burnouts and some dusty pit spots and some road grime from being trailered through rain storms, then They will have that true ruster patina that you are looking for Wayne.

Car will run 13.01 off the trailer, then drop into the 12s, probably settling in around 12.50s-60s.

You're an inspiration, Greg!
