Re: anyone from iowa here

Well now that im mostly finished with cuttin & rubbin after paint and assembly. Need to do longtubes and exhuast, strip and polish the 16x8 ws6 formula rims and add some new rubber to em, maybe throw some carpet back in it, work out some elect bugs and do something with the cruddy delaminating tail lights. That would get me on the road.... but the list goes on and on!

Re: anyone from iowa here

Better late that never, I've been told!!

I live in S Central IA., on the NW end of Lake Rathbun, about 7 miles away from the new State built, Honey Creek Resort.

Just recently bought a 91 Formula to give to my Grandson. The previous owner had yanked the 305, dropped in a built a 350 w/holley carb; 700R4 behind it.
During initial checks, I discovered I have to replace the rocker arms to something better.
It has 1.6's, but they're stock type, and it looks like they're shot already, not centering on the tips of the valve stems, and trying to slide over on the retainer; NOT GOOD!

Anyway, perhaps may end up at some shows this year!

I used to live in Atlantic, I remember going to visit Albert all the time haha.

I'm from southern MN. Owatonna which is 25 miles north of Albert Lea, which is about 30 miles from Mason City lol. I'd be up for a Mason City show this year sometime.
