Seen you dig the car out, What's the 1st step to less slow ?
It's getting multiple things before the next trip to the strip. I thought I wouldn't mention them all because then you get 75 posts of what you should be doing instead... LOL. What I'm doing isn't up for debate, but I'll list them as they are completed/done and no looking back and it will be on to the next item. Now, out to turn more wrenches!!!!
I got to say, some things I want are on back order, some a month out. I guess some things are worth waiting for.

Noticed rear has a nice rake! Mind sharing leaf spring set up? I'm looking to get same rake for my dart sport. Some 6 or so years ago bought the mopar xhd springs and they are sagging. They pretty much suck!
stock leafs, 65-67 B-body rear end
Also, need to get some sub frame connectors welded in. I'm not a welder, nor do I have the equipment, so I'll have to find somebody close that knows what they are doing. I have the steel
You can get a cheap mig, not too hard to mig and is pretty handy piece of equipment to have.
yes. As Jpar would say "harbor freight" !! But I'm not learning on my sub frame connectors. Only, and ONLY if I can't get somebody to weld them in for me.
You could probably talk Jpar into road tripping your way.
Actually, he did pretty good on all his welding's with his projects
He's meticulous on everything he does, that's one hell of a truck he restored, very nice.
DIY subframe connectors or uscartool? If you’re doing diy connectors, I’d say that’s one of the best things to learn/practice on since it’s all nice, thick steel. Much easier to learn on thick stuff than thinner stuff.

You can practice on scrap metal pieces.
I have the steel, so DIY. It was one of the things Jadaharabi and I was going to do. I have welded about 40 years ago in shop class, and I did a little on a job once. But I don't claim to be a welder, and if I can hire it done that is what I am going to do
No shame in knowing your limits. I recently paid a guy to weld my connectors and torque boxes in. We did all the test fitting and prep work beforehand.
Jadaharabi hasn't posted since January,....I have the steel, so DIY. It was one of the things Jadaharabi and I was going to do. I have welded about 40 years ago in shop class, and I did a little on a job once. But I don't claim to be a welder, and if I can hire it done that is what I am going to do
I know He was fighting some toxic infection from being bit the sh*t out of by those bugs, what's up there....?
Jabs is having his struggles. Keep him in your prayers
Off to a good start, knocking 2 items out of the way that were on the list. We added a sure-grip (much needed) and 3.91's (was 3.23's). Also, put a 40 tooth speedometer gear and the speedometer is accurate (I like working/accurate speedometers). No howls, all good! On to the next items for the dusty duster .... LOL
I always liked Paul Harvey.
And now, it may be a minute before the next change as some parts won't ship for a couple of weeks. Onward!
Nice, getting ready to drop in a 440. 
Maybe I'll donate a slant 6. Maybe.
Gonna make a 1/4 mile run with just the gear upgrade ?
