It's been a long road that's for sure, all 3 of my brother's passed away during this update to her, miss having my brother's around, but I know they would be proud.
Thank you Johhnny D
George Rays drag strip is having a nostalgia race this Sunday, 80 and back qualify to race in the arm drop with George Rays arigenal flag he used back in the day, I know my 2.93 gear ain't helping me but at 3 thousand lbs hope it pulls off a decent pass, so we will see.
Wife is coming and will get pictures of Victoria lined up with some nostalgic old race cars and video of Victoria @RustyRatRod
I backed my rear brakes up a bit and will be putting my back seat in today, and double check rear axel and front end grease.

That just sounds sooooooo good!
Hope to have a complete exhaust to the rear bumper soon, don't care for the side short exhaust but it's quiter. I have my 14" rallies in the back of my truck ready to go on, took my tall *** cop wheels and front skinny runners off last night. Should lower my 2.93 gears a bit I figure
Ever mount a pair of tires on something you thought was 5 on 4 1/2 
Costly mistake, looks like just a pare of up front and steel wheels on the rear till my rat hole grows again and find two Rally wheels and centers, this will do just fine for winter time, if we have one this year,(winter that is).
But she can be enjoyed as is

Road trip day to families Thanksgiving, clocked 135 miles in her, correct rear size tires helped my 2.94 gears, 65 mph at 22 hundred rpms.
Herb Mc Candless known by Mr 4 speed enjoyed a ride to lunch when him and his son Herb Jr visits George Rays drag strip couple weeks ago.

After 547 miles on zero leaks or problems, except not having a place to set my coffee I am so happy with my updates, finally found the 14 inch rear 7 inch wide Stares I needed to match my Bob Glitton Aluminum skinny 4" stares I have had, so a new full set of tires all around was added and a place to set my coffee and a glove box for mu insurance papers And other things are in.. now for the bolt down and front carpet skirt.
Welcome to flog me about the console by I have 40 dollars in it

Ok, now the only picture I have of the stance and wheels I like best .

I used an old console and since my 66 Gt decoy has column shift I cut a plate out of stainless where shifter was. I went to Academy Sports and bought two stainless cup holders to hold beverages
Great progress Mike! I love what you did with the console! Now you need another black fender so you can make it out to be a Super Stock Valiant! lol
I like that way of thinking out of the box, thank you, I bet with the snow we are getting they may be closed, but if open it will not be crowded
Yep, before spring is here that's the plan
Nice work on the console! I have an aftermarket one that I throw in there to hold my water bottle. One convenience from our modern vehicles that I've grown to count on.
That's cool that you got to meet Herb and his son. I follow them on FB and YouTube. I ordered a Mr. 4 Speed from Sox & Martin – Sox & Martin and his son was nice enough to have it autographed for me. I can't wait to wear it this summer!

That is great, I may have to ask Mike and Herb Sr if I can do the same and keep it in my car with Herb's picture I took in my 66 Plymouth Victoria, that would make a great framed picture with the Mr 4 speed t-shirt with it.
Same here on FB , thank you for the inspiration to buy a couple.
