      Awesome! This is inspiring. How did the car feel at speed at 106mph? It looked like you are getting pretty decent traction with it, what was your 60 ft/time? How much negative camber were you running for the autoX? Sorry for all the questions, lol.

      The car proformed great, but the factory front suspension only allowed -.75 camber and -.5 caster, not the best. As far as the 60 ft. after we ran, I saw in the data log that the knock sensors were picking up the valve train noise, so it was leavingthe dtarting line with 12 degrees timing. With that it was 1.95 60ft. it is fixed now,and when the local track opens up from Irma, I will see how it is now.

      trying to seal the body

      Well, now that the car is outside of the garage, and hit the streets and race track, it will be out in the elements. So I am wanting to seal up the metal and patina to perserve it. I've been told about a metal coating called Penetrol, which was available at Home Depot. Watched a few Youtube videos, decided to try it out. Here is the car with it done, but not completely dry. I'll post the dry photos if it changes the appearance.

      I will be at the Daytona Turkey Rod Run on Saturday if anyone wants to meet up. Will be parked in the infield of turn 4 near the tunnel turn, with the car club asphalt misfits.

      I love the old Chevy Fleetlines. My dad had a black '49 years ago.

      I have always thought they would make good pro-touring cars. This is a very good example. Good work.

      corn fed completed

      Wired up the GM Flex Fuel sensor a couple weeks ago, here are some pictures of the computer and dash on the first drive with E85 in the tank. When I loaded the maps in the Holley HP computer, it showed the current fuel in the tank at 8% ethanol, which was pump 93 octane from RaceTrac. So the tank already had between 5 and 8 gallons of the 93, I added 15 gallons of E85from my local RaceTrac station and the computer showed about 65%. Everything looks great, ran good to, and the learning table showd almost no correction, so it is good to go!

      Very nice car and work ! One of the best bodys is the 50.
      I own a 1950 Pontiac and i am thinking the same suspension/frame modification in the next winter.

      Why is it better to fit a C5 frontsuspension than a Mustang 2 ? And is it your next work ?
      I will follow.
      Thumps up from Germany!

      A good friend of mine here in town built a really nice 50 Fleetline, with 454" big block, 4L80E, and Ford 9". He passed away earlier this year but I haven't heard what happened to the car.

      its nice to see this project come from its humble beginnings to what it is today!Every time I drive by your car when its outside, it makes me want to sell my jeep and build a street toy again...what limits me now though... is a place to do it and the funds to do it the way I want to...Bring it up to PBIR one wed or friday night and see me in tech...would love to admire your hard work closely and then see it run down the track. I know its not the pro mod your used to driving...but I bet it's a blast! LOL I just realized I have been lurking on this site for nearly 5 ys and your car finally made me post my first post! :-)
