The one that baffles me is the 111 degree CLT?! That's almost ambient!

Yeah mine usually runs 210 or so, but at a long light here in Florida it gets to 240 at times.

welp its been awhile so I guess ill update everyone. On Dec 10th 2021 my front spindle broke on the freeway at 5am on my way to work and i rolled 3 times. I somehow came out ok just busted my face up a little and hurt my knee but walked away.

I currently have my new project underway which is a 59 ragtop that is currently at the bodyshop getting ready for paint
