100k views? I can think of about ten people who now have a new way of quantifying their levels of unproductively. :lol: (yes, I will include myself).

I bet Todd won't be checking as often as before out of fear that it might eventually bump him off the top of the list.

Rob you poor bastage.... it could be made out of solid gold and you wouldn't get any love... Somehow it's just not as much fun to post up "Dude! Nice parts" or "good job" or "Wow I wish I had one of those"....


I love the fact that you attempted to save some weight with that Aluminum block -- so what's she tip the scales at now? 6500#'s or so?

Well the block weighs 115lbs. I know I keep adding heavy parts like Kirkey road race seats and 21lb wheels and minimal interior and no AC and the smallest heater box made by vintage air but I'm sure you are pretty spot on at 6500lbs. My power to weight ratio is gonna SUCK for sure.:_paranoid

Let's just say Mr. T weighs less than Gwen's Porsche and leave it at that. :captain1:

:grouphug: Thanks Sieg, maybe at SEMA you can give me some photography lessons and I can fix that problem. :wow: that Porsche is over 6500lbs who'd have thunk :headscratch:

Remember this car is an Ultra heavy pig. Keep the story straight :twak:

Matt you just can't stop looking at those Iron heads can you?:lmao:

Well hopefully we can all go back to ignoring the view counts :knokwood: (except Todd of course he seems to put a high value on them:poke: ).

Todd can just reopen his thread. I mean, why talk about Payback glory days here where it doesn't help his view count:headscratch:

Doesn't matter what the real weight number is. The fact that it LOOKS like it weighs 6500# is what really matters. :lol:

I shut it down a year ago to give everybody else a chance.

Don't worry guys, once you have pissed enough time and money down the drain, you can have the crown. :relax:

In all seriousness, I really couldn't care less.

The story goes. ...... We were out in Riverside at the Moreno Valley mall when we came upon them. The Tang packets nearby first led us to believe they were from the late 50s.

When we discovered an empty Miracle Whip container full of head bolts and washers we knew we were dealing with pieces from 1964 or later.

It was the Pringles potatochip can that had been used to prop the intake up that nailed the date of manufacture as 1969.

Naturally we assumed they were spares from Richard Pettys winning effort at Riverside that year, cleaned them up and used them.:popcorn2:

:buttkick: Jim that 59 390 really has you hating old engine parts doesn't it :lmao:

:cheers:
