Anything I can do to help Ron during his Odyssey...

The things to do list is getting shorter :thumbsup:

Keep the pictures coming... especially the under hood pics, looking good.

:cheers:

Ahhhh did I ruffle big birds feathers again :mock:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Thanks Dale! I'll get out to the shop in the next week or so and snap osme pics ...

Right Vince? I was gonna ask Gae which one! :D

:lol: :catfight:

Social Security just called -- said there were enough "quarters" in this build that we can all apply for the maximum now....

:topic:


Let's get back to the real story in SoCal, my client Yasiel Puig.

I've been mentoring him since June 3rd this year. Took over for Dennis Castro.
:relax:

Ron,...the masses are growing weary. A pic, even if it's not your car. Fake it! lol
Can't wait for those updated pics!

Figures you'd bring the government into this thread...:weld:

Skipper, we both wish we had credit for that phenom. Dude set a record for most hits at his first at bats, 13 for 27(?) ahead of Casey Stengel. :cheers:

Can't fake it buddy. Skip, Weld, Jerry (take your pick) are on duty. More pics this weekend Tones! ;)

Looking forward to those pics buddy.

Very true. Don't know what I was thinking. Those guys, amongst others, are watching you with hawk eyes! lol Can't wait for the updates bud.
(I just noticed your sig at the very bottom,......AWESOME! I'm originally from Boston and still live in MA.)

Car is looking good Ron! Keep the pictures comin!

Come on Ron, what is going on with your project? we want to see more pictures. :poke:

Aren't you the man for that job?

Me take pictures of Ron's fancy parts?
You kidding me? My phone's camera lens is so scratched up it takes worse pictures than Rob's. My DSLR's charger (I think) lives in D.C. and I have some other excuse for why the other little camera I have doesn't work. I think it memory card never made it home and I never have needed it since. It's also possible the Chinese half of the family just wore the camera out. You know how many pictures asians take, and if not you got really lucky.

I had to pick up stuff for a couple shop projects today, but last I remember the car was really close to running. Once the variable pump controller and the stainless line to the clutch reservior goes on it should be ready to fire and be able to drive in and out of the shop. Oh and one of the headers is being modified, but then it should be ready.

OMG!! That's hysterical Matt!


You shoulda been in Texas with us man....

I was thinking the same thing but then I remembered Matt posts fuzzier pictures than I do.:stirthepot:


Why does Matt know BBQ? :headscratch:

Dick said the header was done...;)

:lol:

Matt, LMAO. I miss your humor...but......

WTH(eck) homie. You post the pics. Scratched lens or no. The Western World needs to know. Or at least those of us out here enjoying the dry heat.......:smiley_smack:

BTW, you have a PM in your in-box you haven't answered.

Really Matt, they do :headscratch:

Ok can you just post some pictures of Ron's car we need an update? :idea: or at least a 3/4 shot of how it looks sitting a BOS!! :hello:

Waiting Waiting Waiting :walkingdog:

Count me in as another proud member of the fast growing 'Rontourage'
 

Thanks Skip for the trip down memory lane :headspin:

Oh and welcome to the Ron Club!!! :headspin:

OMG...We Are the World!! That video in a thread like this has got to be in the top 5 of all time jabs. Ron, defend yourself buddy of all these shenanigans!! LOL!! Funny part is, I sat and watched the whole video. That was a great song back in the day.

:lol: Marcus I watched the whole thing as well!!! :lostmarbles:

'Rontourage'

:lol: :rofl: :rofl:

Marcus,

Actually it wasn't meant to be a jab at Ron (should I admit that?).

I was just enjoyin' the Kenny Rogers pre-very bad facelift part of it. :lol:

The Gambler ..lost when he bet on that 'cutter'. :badidea:

'Rontourage'...I like that Dave-O, lol. I'm justa regular guy like you. More on that below :RunninDog:

Actually Skip and I have a deal, he works me over and I keep my expectations low. It usually works out pretty good! :D

Anyway, it's not 'we are the world.' More like 'Lat-G World Domination.'

Don't believe me? Look at what Hobaugh (sp?, sorry Brian!) did last weekend. We - of this site - are everywhere and coming to a track near you! :cheers:

Greg, that story is nothing. I don't know if you've ever seen Arrested Development, but I'm pretty sure at least one of the writers must have worked for my family's business at somepoint. There's no banana stand, and most of the characters have been toned down so the general public can more easily relate with them, but the idea behind the family owned construction company is the same. And don't ask me what character I would be...

With this build --- you should have said --- "my car is coming to another shop near you".....:action-smiley-027: :action-smiley-027: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Greg,

You should be S.A.R.RY you said that to Ron.

:sarcasm_smiley:

:lol:

You mean near you? As in, your backyard? :idea:

Ok so in a blatant attempt to not have my thread turn into a BMF or 69Forino blob today, here's the update. :topic:

Matt mentioned the oiling system is just about buttoned up. The headers are modified to clear the steering shaft and installed. Upper radiator hose is on, lower is still missing, I think. Master reservoirs are (should be) plumbed and the crew made an access panel to run and mount my rear shock reservoirs in the trunk. They'll either go on the crossmember or if we have enough line length, mounted on the rollbar. Also wiring for the trunk starter relay is in process.

Proof that Matt was not lying about his equipment:

Lots more little stuff to do, but hope to have a running vid - yet not geek out - in the next week or two (you know how that goes, lol). Good times :cheers:
