I know, I am just used to having the 10,000 allowed on the other forum I visit daily. And I'm not joking about that number. :D

This is still my favorite forum though. :D

No offense Dave, but I don't see how what they allow you over at 'Hair Club for Men' is relevant to what is allowed here.

If you want to discuss it further pm me.

I've got a couple left.

Yeah Dave. Looks tough and sounds tough. Can't beat the sound of a BBC!!!!:hail: :cheers:
And I agree with you on the heads for Tony's car. Those will cause some restriction and hurt the numbers on the dyno. Free up the flow and BOOM. :thumbsup:

What is it that the engine builders all tell you....

A motor is nothing but a big air pump...

I've always liked that statement.:lol:

Yeah thanks Tone. Between the exhaust dumps right under me and the whine of the procharger, there is plenty of racket being made with my car. Definitely pointless to have a stereo which is why I went without. :D

Way too funny Skip. My brother years back gave me a birthday card with a free Hair Club consultant card. Hes shorter since that day.

Sorry Dave to crash the posting, everything is looking real good!

Nick.V70 11-30-2009 07:27 PM

I showed my wife this car today and she loves the color combo and black wheels. I am a BIG fan of grey and black but right now I am on my white and black wheel kick. I wish I had more time to really look at this car when I saw it at the GG's show a couple weeks ago. I saw the vid of the drive to the show, I bet it was a very happy drive after all this time and efort put into your car. Congrats

DaveČ that is funny. Did you modify your brothers height via the always reliable anvil dropping, or through non-elective surgery?!

:D

Thanks, and no apology necessary. I like to keep this thread 23% serious and the rest stand up comedy hour. :lol:

Thanks Nick for the kind words. I really am a gray/black guy. My cars are kinda like old and new twins right now. White and black is pretty sweet too - not enough nice cars are done in white IMO.

Yeah that drive was a long time comin and much fun. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Anxious to watch your build thread progress....

"Why do they call it Ovaltine anyways, it's not oval, they should call it Roundtine---that's gold Jerry" :lol:

Ok Dave, sorry--last one---

I'll say something about your car here so it won't be a completely selfish post, "Car looks great man".

XXX-OOO

Yes.

Apparently that same mass ingestion of Mountain Dew will also get you all the benefits of an altered central nervous system, but without the 'hack' label now attached to Ovaltine proponents.


BTW- I don't have access to that 'new math' like some here, but I had estimated this thread to be 32% humor and 68% Camaro. :unibrow:

Non elective, scissors while he slept. He wore it way spiked back then and jokingly blames his loss of hair 20+ years later on that moment making him shorter at 6'4" Parents were really ticked but boy I laughed my a!! off.

DaveČ, that obvioulsy takes guts and is very funny. :lol:

I see you're still at it, graduating from sibling chunk removal to Camaro chunk removal. ;)

FYI- Just crossed you off my list of those here scheduled to receive Hair Club for Men holiday e-cards. :_paranoid

Flash68 12-02-2009 05:17 PM

Update is the Camaro should be dyno tuned next week now... back up and running good is the word from home base.... waiting for tuner to schedule us. :)

I didn't notice the 68% the first time I looked. Nice touch. :D

We also got bad news this morning - one of my best customers just told us that 10% more of our Business is heading to China.

Sorry to hear about the car Dave. I was at Jason's shop Saturday, and he told me. Good luck.

Vegas69 01-11-2010 06:42 AM

That's a steal for somebody. Best of luck on the sale.:cheers:

tones2SS 01-11-2010 09:33 AM

DAMN Dave!!! Sorry to hear about your situation.
I hope it all works out for you. Good luck with the sale man!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Flash68 01-11-2010 10:01 AM

Thanks for the support guys.

Flash68 01-15-2010 03:22 PM

Sale pending.

GregWeld 01-15-2010 03:29 PM

Fantastic, Dave -- well - it's not really since it's "sad" but since it was for sale I'm glad you got 'er done!


:thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

That's pretty much how I feel. I hope to be looking to buy again possibly later this year or early 2011. That's my goal.

67rstbkt 02-01-2010 02:17 PM

Wow, that's a great build. Sorry you had to sell it. I have a question about your gas cap. It looks like that's a Mach 1 Mustang cap? Did it basically bolt in, or did you need to modify the opening? What about the connection to the tank? Thanks :cheers:

That is correct. Mach 1 gas cap off ebay for like $100. I thought it worked well and was unique. And yes they did the body work for that and the 69 taillights at the same time. And the filler required some modding too I know that.
