i took the car out for a joy ride on sunday.
checked tire pressure first; fat rears are sitting at 20psi
topped of the fuel tank for more weight over the tires; but
even rolling into the throttle, the car will roll about 20foot out
then the tires start leaving black marks,then 2nd gear hits
tires are still clawing for traction, i got 11''of tread on each tire
427 runs good, but really roars with 12#'s of boost kicking in
kinda looks like this: taking off in Drive & rolling into it

We had a cold snap recently, haven't gotten much done. But, the roof skin is shaping up nicely. Bought the rest of the paint, that hurt the walllet.
