Decided to repair the sheet-metal on the Yukon XL vs scrapping it. Picked-up some barn doors late Sat afternoon & had them installed & aligned Sunday by noon. Had someone already ask if I had something cheap for sale so it might be gone this week w/o any additional effort.
After that the focus was on the A's. The Coupe is getting the road maintenance once over & having a couple of issues addressed.
My Cabriolet got the new dropped axle & Posies spring swapped in place. Dropped the front more (</=2") & it now has some actual suspension travel clearance. We still have to finalize the juice brake install so no drive-time yet, but it should be night & day difference. We now know the 'death wobble' we would occasionally encounter was worn-out bushings @ the King-Pins & front leaf shackles. We also swapped on a new alum intake, 'Stromberg 97' down-draft carb, electric fuel-pump, & 4>1 'Reds' header. Throttle response is CRISP! I still need to get the previous exhaust re-piped as needed to work w/the header.
Pretty happy w/it now.
With driver/passenger in the car, the *ss end comes down for a nice stance. A loaded ice-chest in the trunk/rumble seat space will max things to where I want it.
Still working on the trip 'To-Do' list but getting there. In 10-days these two A's will be climbing up Pikes Peak.....
