Next time you build one of these kit cars just pay the extra $$ for the instructions, they can even be downloaded off the web for free, and it will go together quicker.:stirthepot:

My trailer is 26' on the flat floor -- and the lift is only rated at 6,000 pounds --- It'll haul a Lotus 2 Eleven - a race prepped Mustang - and a Ford hot rod.... or..... ONE Torino.

The Torino is pretty close to the size of the Lotus :lmao: We should be fine.:closedeyes:

I'll bring the gold card:relax:

Now time for a Ford reboot.

Let me remember my old Microsoft days..... Hmmmmm..... oh yeah!! REBOOT --- that's ---- CONTROL ---- ALT ---- DELETE.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA



Okay -- I figured out how to haul the Torino --- Two guys can lift the Lotus and put it in the trunk of the Torino.

Perfect the Torino is low enough now that you can hold up your side high enough.

I was thinking we could go to LS Fest.:D :popcorn2:

Matt. You should talk to him since you can't seem to get that first gen of yours to measure up to his.:poke:

Me I'm charting my own path and will be just fine.:thankyou:

If I need any help copying what's already been done I'll give you a call.:lmao:

I heard from some of the older guys around here that this car actually ran and the owner explored its capabilities? I thought this site was just to talk about cars. Learn something new everyday.:D

I suppose I must give credit where credit is due. In a sea of people who like to fix things that aren't broken, (or completed) you manage to stand out for actually trying to fix something that is broken.

That's profound Bro. I'm gonna sleep on it and get back to you :D

Edit: Guess I was right last night. This site is turning into a Torino Blob :lol:

That is why I haven't posted any updates to anything that I've been working on.

We really need Jody to create a section called the junkyard. We will move a few build threads over there. No reason to name names. You guys know who you are. Members will then have to pay a nominal fee to be set free to go digging for information, pictures, etc. Whatever they bring back, if they can find anything of value, will be charged accordingly. Half off on rainy days.

It makes a lot of sense Matt. Sometimes a builds technical details, pictures and lessons get buried in antics of peoples friends and errant members. It does make it harder to use those threads for informative purposes.

I'm glad to see you aren't one of those guys. :hello:

Oh, we seem to have had a failure to communicate. I was merely stating that I was trying not to bring my build thread back for fear of the inevitable cluttering of Hella flush pictures and other such related "technical discussions" that would surely ensue. Let's not forget the obligatory Torino pics that would have to go up as well. Then someone would bug me about only posting two pictures. Then Jer would put up a shot of Big Red, just because. Yep, I would just prefer to clutter up your thread.

I take my share of responsibility for the wasteland that is quickly spreading here.

You know this would make a really great reality TV show....



OMG SEMA is going to be so much fun this year!! I can hardly wait!



Hey Rob -- would you post up those photos of the Torino again? I've got a buddy that is going to photoshop it in sitting side by side the rig... I need to show it to my architect so he can see why a guy needs such a large shop sometimes.
