Email from Scott McKee (STR7 on Travel Home Registry) says it's headed toward California tomorrow morning. Time for me to read up on polish, wheels, tires, overdrive, etc. Has anybody tried going to rearend ratio of 4.11 or 3.76? I'm sure 5.29 is great for getting started but the RPM at even 50 mph sounds like engine abuse even with forged crank and roller lifters.
Just for the heck of it, what does "STR" stand for? Once I get photos from the guy who owns the 1967 unit south of me and forward to Tom, will that one become STR18?
