LOL man--you are good

Nice.

You notice Gae didn't correct him GW? I think he liked being DFRESH for a day.

hey as long as its on a day your not wearing SHAPE UPS i wouldnt mind being a giant for a day.

I remember back when DG was building a car and his thread had SB2 heads and and little carbs and stuff posted on it. I know it's been forever but it seems like yesterday. ...... :rofl:

He should probably just buy a late model Mustang like Matt. so he has a running car:_paranoid
:cheers:

Classic

When are you going to start a build thread?:)

Tell me about it.

I'm getting my team in place now.

Rich Bermea @ Road Touring Customs is the General Contractor/Builder.

Jake Parrott @ Jake's Rod Shop is Chief Chassis and Suspension Tuning Officer

Brett Campbell @ Fab53 is my Special Projects and Skunkworks Specialist.

I think it's a pretty sweet team if I do say so myself. :unibrow:

:lateral:

Mustang envy....

No team CFO? :D

Great....and I thought Todd was the only one with an inflated head :lol:

Hey that's in the shop too if I recall. :willy:

Well that better be me. :D

She'll be at ALL the events, get the BMF slush fund under control, recommend bail bondsman... etc.

You could have Chad Knaus for a crew chief and Mario Andretti for a coach. If the dog won't hunt, it doesn't matter. :D

True - but mine is actually being worked on..... Motor is at Odo's place now. In fact, you should go over and see it for me.





:D

I still think these are great awning colors...

DG, can I powerwash that sky blue color out of my siding?

I think I fell on a bird or 2 previously with 2 decent legs. Wait til I get my 2 new carbon fiber prototype prosthetic legs. I'll show you some hunting.

Since you're an armchair / fantasy football GM now, what other wisdom ya got for me? :lol:

I would stop by if I ever get up that way soon. Would like to see the guts of that motor.

I'd say you need a minimum 10,000 psi. That won't damage your siding. :_paranoid

I am hurrying to eat my cereal and get ready to go play tennis with the wife and was on the laptop at the same time.... and she says "hurry up and eat your damn cereal and quit pretending to be THE MAN on the forum."

What a darling.

:rofl: :rofl:

"THE MAN". That should be your new license plate.

Or;

"NASCAR"
"MONO EXH"
"PLAYA"
"CHSG TOD"
"LIL JERY"
"I LUV DUG"
"FORD GT"
"LAT G MOD"
"PAYBACK 2"

Kinda ...

Kinda ...

huh?

:lol:

Dub.

Flash will appreciate your help in keeping this thread on its course when he returns from attempting to dominate his Do Jo with Mr. Pitt's racket.

Well --- The good Doctor came up with some pretty good plates - but he skipped the correct one:


Whipped



:woot:


Frankly -- for those of you that haven't met Susan... so sorry - 'cause she's a keeper.

haha!

thats what i was thinking, todds got me and doug for his team and youll still be toast when he starts his new Chevette racer!

Its gonna be themed with you in mind! its getting painted scion green with the "the judge" stripe package and some dodge viper factory take off wheels!:P

me = zip tie placement/installation specialist (sometimes i will slum it and confirm tire pressures also)

dub renner = t-shirt/sticker acquisitionist

The Dream Team (It was either Stielow or Akes that year for AJ and I--it was a tough decision)

And then a fight broke out.......

It's still up in the air who will have a functioning car first. :lol:

Let's not forget ...

'BODY BAG'



:D

Sadly...... you still only have a broken down Camaro.












:rofl:

But..... he's now a fixer-up husband,



so...

lol:D

or IBLUBYU,, UROWNED

We got some real updates here. But I am sure it will get derailed in about 4 minutes. :captain:

Got the AP brakes in my possession. Thanks to Mary P for dropping them off, and thanks James Shipka for the nice pedigree going on my car. :unibrow:

Watson took the pan and filter off and saw some metal in the filter so they wanna take it all apart and clean it really good and fix a couple nicks and things. They don't think anything big is wrong but don't wanna throw it up on their dyno without knowing what's what. I can appreciate that and agree. Best guess is a lifter broke previously and was just not cleaned out that well afterward.

some nicks in the crank and back of piston

Finalized front suspension details and the Billstein shocks and Hypercoil springs with Jake and that are on its way in the coming weeks. Going with his custom wider control arms for extended track width. Like on Shipka's OLC, we are aiming for a square track width or even slightly wider in front (.5 to 1").

Nice!


:thumbsup:

Even w the issues, motor looks real good! I'll bet Watson has it put back together in no time :thumbsup:

I promise to kinda try and be a non-laugher and only comment on the excellent tech you have provided free of charge...low these many years.

Hmm you didn't tell me you pulled a main cap, or two. :_paranoid I'm guessing the look of the bearing made Mike feel good about the build. That and the Callies cast into the arm of the crank.:D

I don't like the look of the piston skirt in picture three. Have them tear it down and blueprint it.

Exactly. He is a picky SOB and doesn't tolerate much for BS I have found, or even uncertainty. And while it costs more, I appreciate it.

Yeah they mentioned that along with a lot of little things but nothing they felt were too bad or couldn't be fairly easily remedied.

End play was normal.
Needs a new Jesel belt.
The bearings looked pretty good.

Mike had to leave early for his 38th anniversary dinner or woulda pulled the VC's and inspected further. Next week.
