Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step

Thanks, guys! Here's a progress shot of the console. I still need to figure out the best way to mount it and the sub box to the floor, but at least the basic shape is set.

Took a day off today and drove 2.5 hours south of here with Kathy to MoKan Dragway for some baseline runs on our 392 Charger. It was mostly disappointing. First two runs were time trials. Massive wheel hop with the street tires in sport mode and traction control off. Ran back to back 14 flat @ 107. MPH indicates a lot of room for improvement. Figured I'd only get one more run in eliminations, so I left the TC on this time. Left better but still had a lot of hop. Ran a 13.49 on a 13.95 dial so we loaded up and came home to do some research on the traction issues. These cars typically run mid 12's so I need to sort out the problems before we go again. Probably won't be until next spring anyway. Gotta lotta truck left to build.
