No, deviate, he didn't really give a sh-t, that time it only ended up with a bent lower control arm and some minor undercarriage stuff. It was back on the road in a week. Eventually it ended up with a blown cam. It was a 428 Cyclone with ram air, nice ride. I could really bore you with stories about that car, I used to drive it a lot during periods of owner incapacitation.
No car story bores me. And must've been a solid lifter cam huh? I'm more of a late model guy but sounds like he just drove the piss out of it and never adjusted the valve lash.
