Kevin I saw a short video clip with a 63.5 Galaxie.  I have to wonder if that is someone we know from online.... looked like a nice car.

Of course than my wifi went out as did the phone lines due to hurricane issues :(

Thanks Kevin, it is great finally meeting you and speaking to you as well. You didn't have to waste a whole thread on me, though.  ;)


Thanks Stangman, I don't need luck right now, I just need to get the REAL Fairlane together, lol.

14.97 @ 93mph is the best so far for me. Doesn't look like the 4.10 helped at all. I weighed the car finally. 4220lbs with me in it. Looks like I just need to get some bigger oars to row my boat down the track!


Side note: I was averaging 20-22mpg on the highway today cruising between 2500-3000rpm. Not terrible...

I have spotted that Galaxie from a distance a couple of times, but it's been elusive to catch up close. I'll keep trying. I have been taking pictures I'll try to get posted, my cell phone was not having much luck connecting to the internet while at Cordova, and then you start getting so far behind on posting this stuff  >:(
