Finally, I managed to enough things connected to take the car out for a drive this morning. Granted there is no exhaust just the open headers so I kept the ride within the neighborhood. But, let me tell you it was just great.

I can with great satisfaction say that the Keith Craft stroker was worth every penny. The steering, suspension changes I made really changed the way the car drives. Since I ditched the power steering, tried to use the F/R rack :bang: , and ended up with the F/R gear using the Shelby quick steer kit, I thought the steering would be pretty heavy. The steering is nowhere as stiff as I thought it might be, the car tracks just great even before an alignment. What a change in the off the line jump, I went from a 2.80 rear to a 3.55 now, instant response when I tap the gas. I can also tell the the car is a whole lot stiffer with the TCP sub frame connectors, Monte Carlo bar, and export brace added.

Man oh man, I cannot wait till I have it all back together and can get it out on the open road.

 

Congrats man... you've come a long way. Next season you'll have it perfected.

 

Congrats. When you DO IT RIGHT, its always worth the wait
