WELL??????????????????????

Track Junky 07-19-2014 01:24 PM

I'm going to have to back Rob up here because I can relate. Unfortunately there are times in life when the hours we have to work to support our hobby and home life dominates our free time to get anything done on our cars.
Hell, I was so beat this Saturday morning I set the timing on my car and called it good. From there it was a date with Casa Ramos and multiple margaritas.
Weld, your excluded from this conversation because you simply cant relate.

Actually, Rob has replaced his jackstands with severe-duty long lifespan jackstangs.

:G-Dub:

He and others here (that will go unnamed due to the 'mercy rule') went in on a group buy. :thumbsup:


lol

EDIT: Also, I was tryin to remember the thread where these pics go...here(?).

During my shop move -- I found my old chainsaw. I FedEx'd it to Rob so he could cut the tree growing thru the engine compartment this weekend --- so I would expect some updates this decade.

Flash68 08-18-2014 10:58 AM

Timely bump. Our resident FE guy Rob (AKA "THE ROB") has reached a milestone today.

Anyone care to guess what it is?

:cheers:

He finally managed to convince Ron Sutton to sign his dash board in place of the generic Carrol Shelby autograph that all the other Ford Guys have?

"It's not luck it's patience" Just like in the flick the Torino will run up front in time.:unibrow:

Work has had me away from home every week since mid May. :bang: It's not like I'm going to come home on the weekend and tell Cheryl "se you later I have a car to build".:shakehead:

At this point I'm just hoping to be back home during the week by Sept 1st. Then I can get back to getting something done on the boat.

I have been spending some productive time at the Techshop practicing my TIG welding skills. I also took a class on the Torchmate CNC Mill so maybe I can cut my motor plate on that.

Not on Jackstands but not running either.

All I have had time for lately is buying some parts. Nothing special.

Just more used NASCAR stuff.

Thanks GW I'll look for it. There are no trees growing in the shop where the car sits but I have plenty to trim at the house.:rolleyes:

What happened the power of positive thinking and be the change you wish to see in the world attitude you adopted.

Cool!

You bought an old coffee pot with a sock stuffed in it........that's serious progress! :D

Seriously, you're priorities are in the right place, hang in there. :thumbsup:

All kidding aside Rob, that is obviously a rough work schedule. :shakehead:

Also, your keeping this an open source, un-moderated thread is appreciated.

We're kinda busy to be playin' guessing games...:badidea:

But, it is nice to be able to share this special milestone with Rob, he and the nasty of FE nasties, the Ford 427 SOHC motor, are now both five-oh.

A ride in the Torino....

GregWeld 08-18-2014 05:23 PM

50??? He's still a f'n baby.


Tell Cheryl she can come hang out in the shed with you and take photo's of you doing actual real work.

Sadly - you waited too long to ask Carroll for his autograph... Maybe you can find a simulated wood grain glove box door on eBay in lieu of... I think some boats - er - I mean Tor-rhinos came with that timely look.


Happy Birthday buddy.

Not RobFErd's fault of course...a PT Torino thread just brings out the curiosity seekers, like circus twins I guess.


:thankyou:

GregWeld 08-18-2014 08:38 PM

Everyone knows AL MORENO is prone to a wee bit of exaggeration....


There is no way there is 15 pages of actual content in this thread!!
