Working on a buddies '56 BBC with 8 stacks -- We now refer to the FAST XFI 2.0 "upgrade" as the "three hour tour..." He wanted to change oil -- and do that upgrade - and THREE LONG days later we drove it to GG Show in Puyallup. Long story. But it included a butterfly that was BLOWN from flat to being bent 90*'s.... OMG! That "explosion" still has me jumping. The SpeedTech crew just left my house... and are headed home -- but I have a whole lot of really "killer" equipment around my place right now! I think the plasma will blow through the padlocks in no time.... and keys were left in the Nova that is in "the shed".... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........:captain: |

That '56 with the BBC is a really nice car. Your buddy was telling me about that explosion, how could that happen with everything shut down like it was? I was good to catch up with you at the show. The cars all looked great, but the 32 really stood out I think. |

If I could answer your question I would - but I'm still scratching my head about that.... nothing turning over - fuel pump disconnected - key "on" for 3 or 4 minutes... and all of a sudden.... KABOOM! Inside the shop and with the car on the lift --- it was f'n LOUD and HARD. I'm an internationally licensed pyro --- so I've been around a few large explosions in my lifetime.... but this one was so unexpected... and inside the shed like that... and I'm just sitting there doing the XFI update.... it was a real shocker! Thanks for the kind words on the '32.... We did have a sweet "camp" set up this weekend! Shade - bathroom 50 feet away - food.... what's not to like! |
Yeah, you guys had some prime real estate at the show!
Save that butterfly for a wall hanger.....good conversation piece. I can imagine the crack from the explosion was pretty intense in the shop. Glad I wasn't there....woulda called for a change of shorts......:_paranoid |

Well.... Since I have to haul a trailer south to Charley's place to pick up the Mustang ---- I called Brizio this morning to inquire if I could drop off the '32 at their place for them to replace the clutch and do a full alignment on the car.
Good news! They said heck yeah - bring her on down! So instead of an empty haul - Miss Redo will go down for a nice needed fix. Not sure what SAR did to this clutch (hydraulic) but it's never been right... and I'm 100% certain that Brizio can make the required fix, whatever that is.... I just don't have the time or space with Rudy's Camaro still occupying the lift.... and I have to get the '37 out of the trailer... so it has to go into the shed... and blah blah blah. So Dave.... if you want to see her - she'll be there sometime this Thrusday... |
Sounds like a good idea for a number of reasons Greg.
Bring your 'A' camera, huh? :cool: |
