    Drag strip times stayed the same with the re-gear and posi! Reason being, I blow the tires off at the line every time – stickier tires will help that.

    Lots of nice cars out around here too! Just this morning sitting and having my morning coffee, a guy drove by in a rat rod 71 Charger! I’ve seen it once before, but not at any shows yet. Gotta meet that guy, I love that car?

    That’s why I liked to flip the Japanese bikes before covid pricing took effect. You could buy them for next to nothing, put $100 into ’em and sell ’em for 2 or 3 times what you paid for them.

    Seems the prices have started to come back down to reality lately. I haven’t been looking, but Marketplace throws one at me every now and then.

    Oddly enough, I’ve been trying to burn off these stupid GY Tiger Paws (yes, the former owner put all seasons on it! WTF). Considering how many times I’ve been to the track doing burnouts and the fact that I light ‘er up EVERY time I take the car out, I don’t know how these things survive!
    It’s like they’re made out of hard plastic that just spin and don’t even smoke much.

    Rant over, lol. I’ll buy a new set in the spring. Something stickier for the track. I want to improve my time!

    Had the car out a couple of times this week and I’ll prolly take her out a couple of times over the weekend.

    It’s a Yami, so should be fine.

    I might take it out once or twice this week. Then I’ll tuck her in my heated garage. Still working on cleaning up the garage – never ending process!

    Enjoy these last days! I took the old car out a few times to get some last miles on her before the long winter’s nap.

    It’s so nice to free up shop space!

    That 2.7L and 5 speed manual should be fine with 33’s. My 09 Taco ran with that setup for 10 years with no issues and the stock gearing was fine. Does Reddee have a higher ratio?

    Drove to Windsor last weekend to pick up a hood, fenders and trunk hinges for the D-rod. There were only 435 of these cars built for Canada, so parts are scarce as hen’s teeth! It was worth the 5 hours of driving.

    Hood is in great condition. To be refinished and installed (eventually).

    Fenders might have the back edge cut out to patch into my current fenders, then become wall-art.

    The hinges are just in case I decide I want a trunk back (which is a ton of work I doubt I’ll ever get around to).

    Seat looks great! Nice job!

    Question about the left handle bar lever – what’s it do??? I thought it would be a clutch lever, but doesn’t seen to do anything on my father in law’s machine.

    Found a bad ground and a blown fuse. Charging issue resolved. Now need to take it for a good rip to see how she performs!

    Always nice to hear a happy ending like that! Enjoy the ride!

    Father in law’s quad won’t engage 4×4 now. He wants me to take a look at it. I’ll do that this week…
