Heading home tomorrow but it's been a pretty amazing few days... This is probably the highlight, though honestly the whole trip has been awesome...

Got a call a few weeks ago, a friend of a friend had been tasked with finding a Neon Green Challenger Convertible..
Drove the car 300 miles down to Burbank Sunday, went to the Burbank airport & picked up a rental car & dropped the Challenger off at a studio Sunday evening....
Monday started the day at The Peterson Museum, toured the whole place including "The Vault"..
Then headed out to Simi Valley to tour The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library...
And to finish the day met for dinner with member @autoxcuda & also met with the friend of a friend.....
Tuesday Started with a good breakfast with another friend who was on his phone pulling strings... When we left breakfast we started our adventure at the Burbank Airport... He wasn't sure he could pull it off but we had to try... And, sure enough, we got a tour of Jay's garage which was insane... Unfortunately it was requested we not take photos beyond the one I posted... But if you haven't already seen pictures you haven't been on the internet....
And to finish the experience we were able to get into another private collection of over 150 vehicles.. Very diverse, American, European & Asian... All great & unusual cars... And the Host/owner was great to spend time with...
Some days the stars align & you gotta enjoy the ride....

That is AWESOME!
It's great when the universe plays nice!!
I know I'm very grateful for all the times I got to see and do things a lot of others never have the chance. I feel like I'm blessed (even though I haven't met Jay yet, lol).

Took some #10-32 set screws and made some Transfer Slot Restrictors for my dual 650 Holleys I'm running on a tunnel ram. Also, drilled out and tapped the main bodies for the restrictors.
Working on a different Victor intake to go on my 499" RB. Fully ported plenum like the one that's on the engine now, but I added a homemade aluminum pyramid (turtle) I peened all over with a center punch. Have a 1/2" Jomar open hole phenolic spacer on the intake side that had to be opened up to fit in the MagnaFuel sheer plate. Once the shear plate fit the phenolic spacer correctly I bolted the phenolic to the intake and removed the necessary aluminum that was in the way. It should yield some fair gains, but since this is on a street car engine it will probably just help burn the tires more. LOL

Replacing the lousy stock transmission pan with one that has a drain plug. Never again will I have to deal with the mess of changing the fluid on a pan without a drain! I’ve heard of cost cutting and Chrysler not installing drain plugs on the pans must have saved them a lot of $$ over the years at the expense of all suckers who have to change the fluid.
Aside from the very fine metallic particles at the bottom of the pan, should I be concerned with these larger bits??

Made a stand alone Duel O2 sensor box. Vs installation in a vehicle. Innovate 3891 kit.
I decided that I wanted to bump up the compression on my 499" RB and switch it over to carbureted E85.
So today I bought a Horse Power Innovations 950 that flows a true 950 CFM Home | Horsepower Innovations
Eric, the owner is a great guy to work with.
Next purchase an Aeromotive SS pump and a bunch of new plumbing.

My chassis shop is still working to fit me in to install the chromoly cage. While I'm waiting, I mocked my Kirkey into my seating position using some 1x2" tube stock. This will allow my fabricator to build the cage around me rather than guess my dimensions. Once the cage is installed, I'll build and weld permanent brackets directly into the subframe and cage.
These Kirkeys are surprisingly comfortable with the fitted pad. My head was almost touching the headliner with the Procar seats. It's nice to sit lower and further back.

Hey it actually works. Stand alone O2 sensor.
Yeah I don’t want to forget to plug the hole before I fill it with fresh fluid. Tranny fluid isn’t cheap these days!!Shiny and new!!!
But it has a hole in it
Next time I change my filter, I'm going with a pan with a drain plug. Screw the mess, lol.
Which pan is that?

Yeah eliminating the mess is worth it!

Took off the exhaust and put the track shoes (28/10.5W-15's) back on the avatar. Going to the track to mix it up with the Florida guys/gals for the 1st time. See what they can school this "ex-Detroiter" on!!
If any FABO members see the car at the track, come say hi. Love to meet you!!

Do you think those would fit my Dart?
^^^ Sure! C'mon down to Florida and you can try them!!
I got sidetracked by this little guy yesterday. He seemed really interested in PawPaw's shop. Gammy started to walk away with him, and he whined and pointed back to the shop.
