Well this is why I like to keep a camera handy. This is for all you classic car buffs.

While driving around this afternoon, happened to drive past this 55 or 56 Ford Galaxy sitting beside of a small 4-plex. This thing looks in mint condition. Someone obviously takes VERY good care of this classic. Even has the sun visor over the windshield.

These pics were taken quickly from inside my car. It looks even better in person. Thought I'd share them with you guys.

Good job Todd. Do you notice a difference?

I was surprised honestly that I did. Of all the upgrades over the years that I have done I never had done a STB. I ran the corners by my house and used to go through them at 50 and felt I was pushing it. I just went through them at 60 and had some left before I felt I was pushing it. There are a few more corners I drive a lot I want to check it out on, but I would say it was well worth the money. I will add the rear STB soon.

I'm surprised that the Monte's with the superchargers didn't get the STB. Seems to me they should've gotten them also, but GM decided to cheap out in 2004 & 2005.

Oh well. Great work Todd! Glad it works so well.

I got a STB from Silverbullitt and I can whip around those turns no problem. Well, I had my "test" today at the company I interviewed with and I think it went well. I could see myself working there. They are going to call me tomorrow, so I don't know if they want me to come in again. I hope I land this job - it would be a very awesome B-Day present to myself.
