Mid 80's at Norwalk Raceway.... stone stock 327-275, orig 2.56 open rear, and a set of Lakewoods... 14.80's ?? was all I could tune out of the old guy...and believe me, that was humpin with the factory Glide ! I think I blew the rear either that day or very soon after....Spider gears and a badly tore up ring gear. I have a few teeth left as a souvenir.

Day two interior (gutted) ...hated that wheel, nutzo when it went sideways... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
The first set up with Bars and L-60 Mickeys...Love the look without the spoiler. Might be time to put the other deck lid back on.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

There is some great Karma in the car world. Or is it actually Carma.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] I helped a friend out with a Dealer decal for a killer restoration and then out of the blue found another set for my car on eBay. It took me 20+ years to find the first one that is on there now. I had to buy a Corvair for it, then have it shipped from across the country. Next it went to Jon Wright CCP to have it restored. These two pop up last week for a super cheap buy it now. Carma...It's what it's all about!

Here is a shot of the original location prior to restoration. I welded these holes shut two months before I found the first badge. Next are the latest eBay badges. Both NOS from Charleston WV....

Here is a pic of something I'm very proud of. This was given to me by The First Lady herself....It puts a smile on my face thinking of her today. God Bless you Helen.
