There used to be a big bump about half way between 103 and Norm before they changed the intersection at 103rd. There didn't used to be alot of traffic back then and that was the place to do nice long smokey burnouts... especially in a 69 el camino with a 60 over 327!!!
I used to work at Rivers on the other side of I-10. The east bound on ramp from Chaffee was slippery to the point of being dangerous when wet in the FB. Almost nailed the gaurd rail there a few times right after the first curve.

You ever go to the Wesconnett library? I saw a black FB pull in there a few weeks ago. Wife noticed it first and commented how nice ours would look black.

Later,
Bill

Nice rides. I love how throaty your FB sounds. All the way home yesterday, my FB sounded very quiet. LOL. That is until I got back to my sub division, then I heard it echoing off the buildings.

Later,
Bill

cool videos. you said that the alternator is new and it looks it, however in the second vid, you are well under 12V on the voltmeter. do you have a large load on the engine's electrical system? what are the plans for the GSL-SE? what is its condition?
