Is it just ME???

and, thank you, Fishbreath, for the kind comment!

I have to drive (no trailer, yet) 60 miles one-way, to the strip, and if I break the drivetrain, I'm "stuck" there...

I'm trying to make this ol' tub as bullet-proof as I can:
1. New driveshaft with larger, 7290 u-joints replacing the 7260's in there, now
2. Moser haevy-duty axles (11/16" studs) replacing the stock ones
3. 489 case 4.10 with crush-sleeve eliminator installed
4. driveshaft loop installed
6. Six-thousand rpm chip in an MSD soft-touch rev limiter

Got a new set of M-T "real" (not D.O.T.) slicks 9"-wide; 28" tall

I'm pretty much ready to take this thing to Centerville (1,000-ft.) for some shakedown runs, if the weather will cooperate.

Right now, it's 99 degrees... not going to venture out into THAT!!!

I'll let you guys know if any of this stuff works like it's supposed to...
