Hey - the Pink Number 6 is mine!!! I think it was the coolest car there. :)
I love that car a lot but driving pace laps in the Deuce was the highlight of my weekend! We have a hot tub in the back of the Deuce and filled it with a hose next to one of the garages on Friday. They made us drain it...
I just got back and I have bought a 3/4" impact wrench, a 3/4" to 1" adapter, and a 1 1/2" - 13/16" budd socket. I'm going to get me a set of the correct feeler gauges now and give it helll!
I'm not driving the truck until I get them sorted out but I DID drive it last weekend to the 24 Hours...

Ive never seen gaskets used on v-band setups before.
If I do not replace the gasket between the flex pipe and the j-pipe, will the v-band...
No, I have not read any technical manuals yet - but I will read everything! Just give me time. I just found the resource section (duh) so I guess I'll be busy for a while. I do intend to slowly work through every issue on the truck but just to get me going for a while I wanted to find the...
First, please go easy on me for not searching. I was not able to find a brake thread that quite explained what I am experiencing with the brakes on my Deuce and I definitely want to get this right. As much as driving the truck brings a smile to my face... sometimes the brakes nearly scare...
