Default Re: 72 TA : New Project

Celebrating the first day of Spring 2010! I have only been working on this car for 23 seasons.

I just got back from my first actual drive of the car in six years!!! Prior to today the only drive I ever took it on was the original test run around the block when I bought it on 11/11/2004.

I buckled my 9 yr old son in the passenger seat and we snuck the car out and drove it around the neighborhood for about 4 miles, through all 4 gears and all 4 barrels.

I dont know what all this hoopla is about the M22 rockcrusher making whining noises. It is relatively silent compared to the industrial, cast iron, A-833 four-speed in my Charger.

The T/A does have a bit of pep, I must say.

As usual, my boy interupted my enjoyable, celebratory test drive with his sarcastic: "That's enough speedy-fast, Dad. Let's go home and throw the baseball around"

Kids. They just don't appreciate good fun!

Here's the offspring about 5 years ago (or as the boy says: "When I was a kid") installing the body on the subframe.
