You could have been kinder to him and said his was the best quote ever and mine was second best... He's already lost his patience with his patients!

You can blame bad texting on auto correct, or driving, etc. etc. Terrible spelling while sitting in front of a computer with spell check, is just stupidity.

Rob updates look great, nice lock wiring job. Have you seen the movie Need for speed, came out a couple of weeks ago....Thought you'd enjoy the first 20 minutes or so of it.

He'll get over it. BTW, wouldn't that statement make you one of his patients :snapout:

Thanks, I'm just trying to keep up with your progress.:D

Gae, I've have thought that way more than I ever should admit. It could still happen. Weld told me I need a backup car.

I'm going to do a little research on the best way to capitalize on the pump. Initially I'm just going to let it pump the oil out and then back into the housing. Eventually I will either run it through a small reservoir or a cooler or a combo of the two.

I've always had a locker in this car. I still have the 3.70 detroit third member I used to run in it as a spare. Everything I know about the car is out the window since now I have way more tire, way more HP, lower CG, wider track width, less weight on the nose, ect, ect The emblems on the car are the same but that's about it. :lmao:

Lennie. My wife has a double fusion in her back so I haven't been to a movie theater in a few years and spend all my $$ on beer, surfboards and car parts so I will have to wait for it to be on one of my existing tv channels.:popcorn2:

I did the safety wiring on my rotors but can't take credit for the one's on the third member.:D

I've never driven a car on a track that didn't have a locker. That doesn't mean I'll be any good at driving this one with a Locker but it's all I know. I've had exponentially more time in Karts than cars and in a shifter there is no diff just a solid axle and lots of power to weight. So roll through and then power on is what I'm used to.:thumbsup:

I agree it's hard to sift through all the crap posted on the web about stuff. When it came down to it I asked Sutton what diff he preferred and for a track car he said Locker hands down. I let Brett run my chunk in his car and he preferred the locker over his tru track. So based on feedback from those two and my own solid axle experience I feel pretty good about the Locker. Time will tell :popcorn2:

Charley is thinking about selling his Dale Earnhardt and or his Tony Stewart cars... all fresh and set up to turn left and right...

If anyone has ever driven or ridden in one of those type cars on the track... they wouldn't even think of building all this sissy ProTouring stuff. They go into a corner and then it's just OMG what G's they can pull...

Then you'd still have time to run it in May at Thunderhill with us --- instead of going thru life as a wannabe. Oops -- did I really just say that... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Love ya buddy!

Straight to the jugular... ouch. :lol:

Life would be so dull without your best friends wouldn't it! LOL

Rob, glad to see your chipping away at the list and getting it closer to done.
It was great meeting you (and Ron) at Del Mar this past weekend, I felt like I was in a whirl wind. So many things going on, people, and just plain worn from driving.

Rob, thought you might want to pick this up so you have something to cruise until yours is finished-

Somebody beat that thing with an ugly stick.LOL

I don't remember ever seeing those cars, didn't think there was anything more unattractive then the Chrysler winged cars, but I was wrong. That's bad, I hope it was fast. Do like the theory of taking the most humungus car in the line up, and putting a 2 foot nose cone on it. Love the 70's, they tried all kind of cool stuff.

I like it! Kinda looks like a Datsun with the headlight covers removed though.

It would have been cool if Ford had continued to develop the King Cobra. I'm just wondering if they would have ended up with the wing on the back as well.

:y0!:

:happy23:

:popcorn2:

Shhhhh. It's top :secret:

I thought it was Charley's Red Toyota 2000GT

I really agree with the strategy here of not posting updates very often.

This build thread now has a very mysterioso feel to it.

Plus, we should all be devoting our attention to the victorious Ronferd in Socal...at least for a few hours longer.


:popcorn2:

On Saturday I actually witnessed a running Torino :thumbsup:

Yes it was......

:popcorn2:

just went through all 195 pages again, needed some inspiration...

I get pumped every time I go through this build :thumbsup:

This thread is still around??

Et tu Jerdog?




Joe

Every time I see the member of the next generation, like your daughter, working on one of these old cars I am inspired.:thumbsup:

As soon as work stops kicking my A:censored: :censored: I will get back on this build.

Your Torino is looking great. are you sure you want to go through all the hassle of fabbing a 4 link? Especially a triangulated 4 link?

:hello:

Sorry to hear that.

:snapout:you read a page every night before you go to sleep. :bitchslap:

:lol:

Opps I thought WOW an update but no nothing new :ohsnap: :sarcasm_smiley:

Mods -- Can you please change the name of this thread to: Your choice


I spy... a running FErd.


The lost decade.


FE's I never knew.


An FE Jackstand test.


How to turn your trailer into a lift.

Always up for a challenge, been talking to Scott at AME, he said I needed to call him.

I had a guy tell me I couldnt build my own house once because I never did it. So my 70 year old Dad, and pregnant wife, and I built one from the ground up in 7 months. We only subbed the concrete, rough plumbing, and sheetrock.

We will see...The finance minister may cut off my funds, or worse...:ohsnap:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Insomniac


Ha Ha Picard, he was the better Trekie....

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Perhaps no one is enjoying this thread more than Ron in SoCal, recent jackstand grad. :unibrow:

True! :relax:

Maybe we can rename the thread 'Payback'? :lmao:

:cheers: Rob

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: It's already back on jackstands. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:


Rename your thread Payback? :headscratch:

That's a bad idea, It's hard enough to tell all the kit cars apart as is.:underchair:

Ad eundum quo nemo ante iit

For repairs...really?! :mad:

Last time I believe Ron...he said the only reason it was back on jackstands was to give its weekly chassis bath & wax.

:bur2:
