    To handle the nearly 1000 hp this thing will make, I had to build a custom rear end

    Got a 9” out of a ‘70 Torino, narrowed and braced it, torsen style diff, Richmond 4:10’s, big bearings, disc brakes, and a custom 4 link.

    It's Dragon Wagon, the Fire-Breathing Grocery Getter! Do you have the kids sit in the way back seats for better weight transfer?

    Fortunately, they've taken on taking care of him. It's $300 per to have pets here, plus an extra $10/month per. When I can afford it, I'll pay the $300, get Bucky here. Unfortunately, Emily may have a fight over Arfie.

    One more part for the AC.......Paul installed the fan shroud today, cost me almost 200 dollars but the part was needed. Don't want the car to overheat in traffic when the air is blowing.
