Also this popped up on my phone the other day. 3 years ago last week. That was my oldest when she was five she's now 8

They are having the vintiques Northwest Nationals in town this weekend but the next. A lot of shiny cars I won't have anything down at the fairgrounds but we will go look around. Friday night they will do a hot rod drag race at our local drag strip. I will have the Model A down there. I have my new two-way adjustable shocks to put on it so that should help our bounce on the launch and I will also be doing some more carb tuning before then

One of the good things about forums. We get to watch families grow and grow up. A bunch of us will never get to meet, but we all know each other in some ways. It's some of those pix that we see here that you may never see anywhere
else that shows everyday life. Although I know when most people author a build thread, they're trying to illustrate those things involved in building whatever it is they're building. Some of the pix show the kids, the spouses, the girlfriends, the dogs, the cats, etc. It's always cool in my mind! Thanks for posting!

Thanks guys! I agree with you on this smallfoot. I dont have any other social media. Way too much b.s. this place feels like an extended family!!

Lots of tuning today. We installed a new cam and it threw the carbs all out of whack. Go figure! Also put in our 3.50 highway gears and installed some new lighter double adjustable rear coilovers. I busted out my limited lathe skills and make some nice spacers for them! I didn't get a good pic of them installed. It definitely rides better!!

I bet it does ride better with the 150 springs.

Yeah when we were building it for that show we were on a pretty tight budget so stay in the rules. When we tried racing it earlier this year I realized that those were 250 lb springs on it and the shocks were garbage. They're not even really a shock they're just a spring LOL
