My buddy has been mouthing off...

LOL... I have a 'grudge match" set with my neighbor and his '64 Fairlane.
He has a 390 tri-power with 3.91 gears.
Mine is a 340 with 4.56 gears. Last year all I had was some skinny tires that came on it for transport and couldn't get it to hook up at all at any speed.
Now I have some 295/60/15 tires and have done some tuning and general de-crapifying of several things.

Hopefully should be ready for a test run by this weekend... hopefully.
Maybe a couple of fat-bottomed girls in the back seat would help with traction.

:D
