this is hard to read so......he sent a set of gears to Liberty and they modified them and did some other stuff. $244 total price



the "Camfather" that is cool.....







i wonder if he had a problem with the above mini spool, this one is dated 1 month after the one from Geis..
i bet this is when he bought me that Team Strange shirt too.



in case anyone needs to know how to install a spool....



check out the lineup of pros from Keystone Raceway in Pa...

Hillside Tire & Alignment.. That's my old neighborhood. I had my Z aligned there after it was restored..

And I have a load of those Grand Auto receipts from Des Plaines myself. Must have been right before they closed up. Mid 80's..

Awesome photos and stories Jeff. Thanks to you and your family for sharing them. Really brings back a lot of memories. I also have posted photos of the black Yenko Chevelle and Hugger Orange Camaro at the Grove.

Happy belated Birthday as well!!!
