Can Hear Every Valve Rap On Long Extended Trips
Cheap, Hardly Efficient, Virtually Runs On Luck Every Time
Cracked Heads, Every Valve Rattles, Oil Leaks Every Time
Constantly Having Every Vehicle Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Techniques
Condition Hopeless, Entire Vehicle Relies On Leftover Engine Technology

Chevy like a rock, you have to kick it to move...

How is a golf ball different from a Ford?
You can drive a golf ball 200 yards..

Whats the difference between a Ford and a shopping cart?
A shopping cart is easier to push...


A man pulled up next to a little girl walking home from school and
said "If you get in, I'll give you a lollypop." The girl kept walking.
Following along slowly, the man said "Come on and get in the car with
me and I'll give you two lolly pops."

She kept her eyes on the
sidewalk and continued on her way. The man said "Get in with me and
I'll give you this whole bag of lollypops!" Finally, the girl turned
and said "Look daddy, YOU built a FORD, YOU ride in it!!!"

Yeah I see it. Too bad the prettiest part of your car won't be seen. :D

Watson has all parts in hand now so things should start moving on the engine. I will check in a week or so and see how the block is doing (it was jacked up pretty good of course but fixable).

Appropriate for the 6 foot 8 Robster and that tank of a Furd he's throwing together.

Things are happening on my end, slowly but surely...

Just slightly wider than stock

Yep. Already got 1 set of R6's and 1 set of A6's. 315 front / 335 rear.

We mocked up the front track width we are targeting on the other car in the shop with the 315's.

Super excited for you. Looking forward to some more progress. :thumbsup:

Looking good Dave! Just slightly wider! :thumbsup:

fleet 12-08-2012 12:14 PM

I like it, the long arm of the law...uh Jake. :unibrow:

Also, a little known fact; tires under a 315 are not constructed to withstand substantial powerwashing.


:D

Since the torq arm X member is so close there will be a 180* "hoop" welded to it that holds the mount. Jake has done it before and is sending us the piece. Should work pretty slick and kill 2 Fords... I mean birds... with one stone.
