yea its like,

hey guy my motor blew so i guess im gonna have to get all new suspension stuff and new brakes. lol
when you get back in town i will have changed my work schedule and have more time to help work on it in the DAY.lol

Preferably friday! I am off on fridays......

We got the rear torn out this afternoon. It's amazing how much space a bunch of parts take up when you spread them across the floor!!!

It's not all new. Besides if your forced to tear part of the car out you might as well fix the things that are right there needing attention. :lol:

Jesse and I got the rear end and suspension out today. Hope it will all go back in as quickly as it came out.

Looking forward to having it all done and back on the road!! :evil:

so curtis wheres the new pics???

Sorry! Thought I had better get things cleaned up and put aways seeing as I'm leaving tomorrow and will be gone for two weeks. :rolleyes: Silly me!

Looks like it will be a 9.5 rear.

Paul

That's how Bad Penny started.. just going to do a "few" things.. lol

Let me know if you need any help.. you're not THAT far :)

o man curtis its gonna look soooo good with the wheel tucked in the fenders like that!!!!!!!

We'll be putting it back together around the 16th. If your looking for some thing to do come on up.

Not sure it will tuck under that far but I hope it's close. Your right though its going to be cool.

Only Two more flights to Mexico and four more to Hawaii and I can start working on it again!!!:lol:

Hey look who finally got WiFi!!

It only took them 3 days! :lol:

Just dont come back sick this time!! :lol:

That's the truth!! Food is a lot better in Oakland and Hawaii by far! Especially on these high roller flights to Kona. :thumbsup:

Just a little video of the car before it was broken and a picture of how it sits today. Can't wait to get it back on the road. Should be soon!!

Still a bit of work to do, but making progress every day. :thumbsup:

sweet 67 gasser!!!
so is it my turn tomorrow??? i wanna get those spring in NOW. haha

Looks killer man:thumbsup:

12" for dem big jumps!!!:lol:

Nice to see it back on the ground!! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. It's a lot of work and I'm lucky to have had some awesome help! It might sound strange but it was an awesome feeling to get the Bucket back on the ground. Just a few more weeks and she's done! :willy:

Your car looks great. Love the wheels :thumbsup:

What are all the upgrades?

Damn that RS nose looks killer! The new brakes and spindles look great too. I can't wait to see it completed. Did you already get the rear wheel offset changed?

actually tony it really seem like he might get away with just rolling the fenders, we were checking it today and with the harder spring rate he would have to get real agresive body roll to evn get the car near the fenders. plus the wheel with that offset are already rubbing the inner fenders.

AJ or Curtis, did you get the back to drop anymore today?

Yeah, Curtis sent me some pics last night and it does look like the fender roll might fix it all. He does want the car to still come down a lot more though...

That's looking VERY good.. but wait.. I though you had an engine issue.. what's with all the other stuff? ;)

Speaking of engines.. are you rebuilding yours? I will have a nice little small-block for local sale soon. Nothing crazy, just a good street 355.

didnt you see the pics of the block??? these no rebuilding that... hes picking up the new motor tomorrow should be around 420 hp.

anthony- no man we couldnt get it down any more and it looks like nothing it binding... those springs a pretty stiff though i weight 200lb and when i push on it i dont even get .5" of travel. i told him to just chill out and wait till it get on the road and moving around then go from there.

I guess time will tell...but it's got a long ways to settle! I'm sure DSE 3" Drop Leafs would have done the job.
