So I've heard.............:whistling:

Probably a moot point in this case as they'd never be able to overcome the prop wash and wake. :underchair:

:ohsnap: That's cold Funny but cold

Hope it isn't taken as cold! Because that Torino is going to be real Hot! :angel:

Now the barge pic was a little..........:whistling:

It is one of the Fords I do respect and like

Like the old saying goes..... You can't outrun Motorola!

Rob your definitely getting things done on that car! I like the updates. Can't wait to see how she turns out. I am looking at those gauges and am considering them. Any advise?

LOL! are there no wake zones on the highway?

I've heard that. Probably depends on them getting an accurate vehicle description and having some idea of the direction you headed :peepwall:

Where the hell is Rob??? BMF is lapping him :relax: :hello:

Greg, Jim may have tried this before and um may have succeeded :peepwall: he has had some VERY fast cars before he turned to more luxuries ride he has now!!

Yeah what's up?? Maybe he's surfing?? Or :walkingdog: or :RunninDog: or just out in his Vett :hello:

Giddyup, Whiskers.

Advise on the gauges. Buy them. You can tailor them to exactly what you want for the same price as an off the shelf set. The quality is very good, they look better in person.

I was just in Austin and saw Brian's (carbuff) 71, Bird The Other (only) Woman, which he did Speedhut gauges in. His dash was a beautiful piece.

My version of the gauges... In Rob-fashion, a slightly fuzzy picture... :poke:

Did you get my tiny package?

He was born with it..........






:animated_bye_bye_em

:tiptoe: :whistling: :wow: :rofl:






Um and how would you know???? Wait never mind!!

:confused18: :confused18: I'm not sure how to interpret or respond to any of these posts. :headscratch:

HR has just contacted me and told me to ask to be removed from this conversation. :topic:

When I got home from TX my Wilwood front brake kit was waiting for me. :ups:

At some point there may be renewed interest in the actual build and I will post some of my other progress. :mock: :mock:

WELL.......... We're waiting..........

Good luck with that.

Yeah right! :mock:

How about some pics of that stoppers kit?

(Not abstract art images, actually HD caliber tantalizing car porn photos. The TX trip proved you have the technology)
:D

And how'd that work out for ya? :computer:

Rob we need some pics of progress on this Ford

I'll have some real progress pictures next month. Just be patient.:)


If I subtract all your smack topping posts I'm probably still under 100 :mock:
:topic:

:cheers:

I've got a $100 on under 75. :D

Quoting from other threads and bringing them over here now eh? You are stooping to that level? :twak:


Hey man. I used to be supportive on this thread til I met this Rob guy in person. :lol:

You know what they say.............misery loves company. :lolhit:

Is this a build thread or just Rob and Dave's place to go back and forth??

And Sieg what are you doing awake at 4:30 in the morning??

Keeping an eye on this cat fight. :D

Well I hope you are getting over time?? :G-Dub:

Still collecting parts :secret:

:G-Dub: :drowninga:

Yee Haw! :excited:

There you go! Got your hands on that Magnum you've been wanting. Awesome. :thumbsup:

Very nice. Which setup/ratios did you get, and where did you end up purchasing?

Yea relieved I grabbed another of the last big ticket items. :ups: It is an 11009. JMPO but the WR version is useless for a big hp motor.:shakehead:

I bought the transmission from a guy in Texas. A guy stopped paying his bill at a shop so the parts went up for sale. The transmission had been installed but not driven. So for $2500 I got it shipped to my door with a billet yoke a shift handle and the reveres and speedo wiring.:knokwood:

Now a guy I count as a friend had a little problem with a motor he bought that turned out to be just a bunch of parts in need of remachining and reassembly so I was pretty nervous about maybe screwing myself in search of a "good deal" :_paranoid

Then UPS calls and tells me they won't deliver it and I have to pick it up.:(

Turns out they say they shouldn't have picked it up because it wasn't packaged right. Oh crap! I go to get it and see this.

Are you kidding me. I spent a good 20 min looking it over real hard. Not a real mark anywhere on it. Fresh and clean looking with a correct tag. Turned over smoothly so it followed me home.

Tonight I drained the oil and it was full and clean. Shifts through all the gears and turns over like butter. I think I can stop worrying about it now :snapout: I think I scored a good deal.:cheers:



Now your last post on your thread really says it all. Building one of these is a long journey. There is no really cheap way out but if you want to lay your hands on the build then it can really drag out. If you are paying for all the work to be done then you better have cubic $$ :G-Dub:

Never ceases to amaze me 700 ft/lbs can burn rubber due to those teeny tiny splines on the input shaft, yet we worry about billet yokes! Nice score Roberto :thumbsup:

HEY quit complaining.... you got a free tie down and some fire wood didn't ya!!


Wow cannot believe someone would ship it like that. You now have a Trans laying on your floor :hello:

Congrats, looks like you are a big step closer.
