Oh, yeah she's past ready! I think she really misses the RV we sold a few years ago. We'd load up and head out at a moment's notice.

Hey, Duane, if our plans work out we'll be coming thru Houston after Power Tour and spending several days before heading home. I'd love to see your GTO and the truck project. We've been wanting to do the Tour for quite awhile, but never had the right hardware. Bucket list time.

The photos below are from the mid to late '90's. I was traveling a lot with work and other projects were taking my spare time which meant the Ford continued to sit neglected. And the more I looked at it, the unhappier I was. I never liked the way the steering sector interfered with the exhaust port at the rear of the driver side. It had forced us to run a header tube outside the frame which was an unfortunate compromise. Tried a Bronco sector, but it was unworkable. There was a power rack and pinion kit available, but the guy selling them had personal problems and had failed to deliver a number of sold kits, so I hung back and did nothing. Plus, the fuel cell and drum brakes were just so "yesterday". It would sit like this until early 2004.
