I can get some pics in a couple days. 70 Road Runner, 6.1L hemi with a magnuson supercharger, 4 speed, coil over with Hotchkis suspension, custom interior. Looks a lot better in pics than it actually is. We had to re-do a bunch of hacked up wiring, fab and mechanical stuff, now getting the body work ready for a wrap.

Took the Camaro to the track last Thursday for test n tune. I was expecting the destroy the 10 bolt but destroyed the clutch instead. Still went 7.90 @ 90mph. Now it’s sitting on jack stands waiting on me to decide if I want to spend a grand on a new clutch setup or go automatic

It was down in the green field. He'd been looking at it since Thursday and finally made him an offer before he left on Saturday. We rode out the rain and had a blast. @ramjo brought his Harbor Freight tire changer down and we broke down and mounted some tires for my 62 c20 in the dark on Friday night. Good times!

We have spaces in the green. We stayed til probably 5 saturday. Think we've been going since 91 (college). had spaces spring and fall for 21 years now
 
I wandered around the green field and inside the track Saturday for a while. Dissapointed by the low turnout of vendors but can't blame them due to the rain. I did find a timing cover and oil filter adapter for my new hot rod project. Im building a 445 stroker from a 390 FE for my 67 Fairlane. Ill post up more pics and videos as it comes together. Just got the block back from the machine shop last week, waiting impatiently on heads and a custom roller cam.

Oh yea. I forgot to post this up, but Dad found a guy in Sanford to hand paint the sign on the door of his c10 shop truck. My grandpa and a great uncle ran a shop behind grandpa's house at night after they got off work as mechanics from a local Chevy dealer. My dads brother framed an old invoice and business card along with a picture from the last Christmas grandpa was alive and gave it to Dad for Christmas a few years ago.

That is really cool. My dad grew up with chickens. He use to have to drive a truck load of eggs into Aiken every day before driving the school bus so he says. We recently found some egg crates and I snagged a few. I am planning on framing them or something. I'd love to find a truck like he drove back then and fix it up and put the name of the old farm on it. I can dream but that is about it.
 
Going to start a new thread here in the truck gallery forum with pics and videos from the Hot Rod Power Tour 2018. Finally getting off my lazy ass and posting some up. I'll probably add to it over the next few months. Ive got around 5 hours of dash cam video I have to edit down and not much free time to do it, LOL
