Odin....what's the word on your car?
My Leafs didn't do so good, so I hope you're doing better!

Well... The motor seemed to be making some funny sounds at higher rpm. It was also not making any power. I was going to pull the motor and send it out for rebuilding. Unfortunately everyone seems to be busy. Once the motors out I can do a few little touch ups as well as add power steering.

Good thing i wasn't racing the Raptors.

Cheers K

That stinks, I didn't expect to hear that news......
I've been dealing with a miss issue, either carb or electrical on my new motor but the good news is, the car is going back on the street.
I just picked up a set of M/T street et tires, 33-18.5's and we are planning to stretch the quarters at least 4".
My wife has been wanting this and I finally agreed to it since everyone I know has stopped racing, it gets boring going to the track by yourself!
Going close to Boston in a few months, think I'll get picked on wearing my Leaf jersey....LOL
To bad you didn't live a bit closer, I could hook you up with a good builder.
Good hearing from you.

I hope you solve your problem quickl and easy. Mine keeps adding up $$$. Like your wife, mine's on board with the car too. I think she wants it finished more than I do.

Word of caution, wearing a Leafs jersey in Boston may not be good for your safety. That also goes for your mental health.

Cheers brother. Good luck with the Pumpkin

Where did you get the part to fix the
sheetmetal. Where the front fender blot on to. Can you give tips.

Most of the panels including the floor where replaced with Dynacorn parts. The hood and passenger door are original GM.
