My wife saw it and was going for the knives. She gets "passionate" about the car hobby. Some might say violent, but I'll go "passionate"

This thing looks like a very fun project car. Did you pick it up??

I'm in that," I don't need it". "I don't desire it". I keep talking and texting with the seller. It will need some welding on the frame rail. It will need the trans adjusted and the pressure rod, now a cable is not right. 4bbl slanty with headers is hurting on bottom end torque or as my dad used to call it "Bastard Torque". My super 6 coupe pulls hard at 500 rpm. My curiosity is to try to get that 4bbl performing right. I think a y pipe might get power back into the bottom end. Car needs some tuning for sure, to get it right.
