Re: Pinks All Out & Akron Don

[Donnie Schanz Jr <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 65 is leaving for England very soon. I have been holding it for a guy 
until he sold a 67 Dodge. He just called me and told me it sold to a guy in 
Ireland. I now own the 64 since my father had a stroke. It just got a brand 
new engine in it a few weeks ago.
As for your snubber, I welded a plate on the floor of my 64 where the 
snubber hits so it hits flat. I also put a bigger piece of rubber on the top 
of it off of a bumper car.( Remember my father ran an amusement park) It 
works really good. Bill Toe runs my homemade snubbers on both of his Mopar 
Madness racecars, although I thik that the springs that George put on the 
cars is doing most of the work now. What tires are you running? I run the MT 
ET Streets on my Grand National. My buddy runs them on his 12 flat GN and 
can hit 1.60-1.55 60' all day. Your tire pressure is about right 16-20 for 
most guys. I guess tune, tune tune. Maybe I will make Chrysler Classic this 
year, dont know. I am a high school football coach now.

Take care,
Donnie
