Nice pics and video. Where was that car show out? That green and black Mopar is at the Porky's here in Des Moines quite a bit. I like that car a lot. Nice and clean and sounds mean. I think that white Chevy II/Nova looks familiar, too.

Are you going to do Cruise to the Woods this year?

I just dont get what the attraction is for melting expensive, hard to get tires but thats just me.

Say, I noticed the position of your MAF sensor in the pic. I was always under the impression that it should be @ 10:00 position. I have to assume yours runs good positioned like that?

Big cruise put on by the Webster City Cruisers that happens every year. There are start points all over the state and some in southern Minnesota. They cruise to Stratford, IA as a stopping point and then on to the Ft. Dodge fair grounds. Usually are 1000-1200 cars total, depending on weather. And I have scene weather all over the place for that: 90 degrees, freezing rain, snow...

It is the first weekend in October.

Not sure about any up coming car shows. Porky's car night is every Wednesday and Saturday night. Motorcycle night on Tuesday and Thursday's.

It is in Des Moines on Douglas Ave pretty much between the 2nd Ave and Merle Hay Road I80/35 exits.

I was too busy working on this all weekend to make it to any cruises or the National Street Rod Association Nationals.

so u guys are saying you never get the urge to just spin the tires some?

I do, its the car, just wants to run, and this is a once a year deal that they let you do it, and people love to watch it
