:D

That's badd, Ron. :unibrow:

Goes straight to a car show. Where's the lawn chair?

SHOW TOURING FTW!

:getout:

Well -- X him off my friends list.


I can't hang around with guys that sit all day at car shows... just shoot me. That's like paradin' around at the mall with a super model -- when you should be home in the sack.

Sad really....


The dog is louder than the Show Tourer....

Ron --- The paint appears to me to be much better than when I saw the car at JCG.... (by the way -- since they worked on it you should have their decal across the front of the windshield) -- Did you have it painted??

Despite me giving you grief -- the car looks and sounds awesome... even if a Chihuahua is louder.

Not only did he probably just stumble on the car show he probably hasn't been home since he picked it up. :popcorn2:

Car does sound awesome though. :thumbsup:

Agreed!

Too bad he couldn't find first gear though.

All one needs is Neutral for a car show. :poke:

I'm thinking he hasn't made it home yet. You know, stopping every 5 miles to get out the quick detailer. :D

^ I'll get to you Jokers in a second ... :buttkick:

Thanks Dale! You know how these forged LS7s roll :thumbsup:

Thank you Brother! :cheers:

Man Mike, I'm humbled. Thank you :thumbsup:

Yep, just ask Dave about that. His iPhone keeps facetime butt dialing me. Ture story!

That's not Rob's, Scotty. There's no fat thumb in the pic :lol:

Yo Frankie, great to hear from you! :cheers:

Don't worry, I'll be gettin' pancaked for at least a couple more years :D

Thanks Vince! Contrary to Dave and Greg that is the plan.

Hey Tony. Love the story! Dick is one of the great ones. :cheers:

That's the last time I spend all afternoon picking up Harbor Freight tools for you! :lol:

Wait...I got one more


He's probably been busy moving his bedroom furniture out to the garage.

No no no. He is busy driving out to Porn Valley to pick up a pair of CCW's off Craigslist. His stash is low.

I was just telling Torino man last night I have not had much time this weekend to return texts and calls, let alone post here. Yesterday was up down and under the car with a quick putt. Today was the first two freeway jaunts. Water got to 160 on the fwy. 185 in traffic. Oil was about 210 max in the heat driving around. I was concerned I might've over cooled the oil system for street driving, but it looks like the oil thermo is doing its job properly. Whew...

Oh, and I wasn't about to video a problem on its maiden fwy voyage. I had no idea what was going to happen. Overall this break in has been a success so far. :knokwood:

Thanks Dawgy. So awesome hanging out with you and the pics look great! Appreciate you coming out after getting home late (first place racing) the night before :cheers:

Oh and that long idle in the second vid. I was trying to mate my iPhone (ROB) to my stereo. Didn't work and I said F'it let's drive...:D

Okay -- That's got to show up as somebody's "signature" around here... That's just funny as hell.

Wait a minute.... You named your iPhone ROB... and you're trying to mate it? WTF is that all about...

TY :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'm getting to you. Wait yer turn...:D

I know it's tough waiting Bro, but you'll get your turn to drive.

SO the car has 40 miles on it and you want me to go straight to the track? :lol:

The car was the belle of the ball at Super Car Sunday today, just my opinon and I might be biased. :D Dustin (SC Sunday organizer) wants to shoot it for Driven World magazine and I met a couple of members that recognized the car. Not bad for two hours. It's all about the people, right G-Dub? :cheers:

~ 93 db at idle. That was a loud, yappy freakin dog!

Dick and company did a buff and polish and the paint is pretty smooth. Not perfect, but good enough to ruin at the track :lol:

Thx Buddy :cheers:

Man Sieg you don't miss a beat. Trans is a little notchy and the clutch engages about an 1/8" off the floor. Makes for some tough shifts. Not good, and I'll have to deal with it next weekend.

I wiped it down as soon as I got home :lol: :cheers:

True in more ways than one G (hanging out, kicked out) :lol:

True again, but that was last week. :D

We all couldn't be any happier for you Ron.

Car looks great! We know BOS is top notch...

Lord knows you've researched every part ever made for every car ever made... Remind me what the metallurgy was on that drum brake for the 1902 Renault that we saw.... LOL

We ALL would have sat down - put it in gear - and come home when we ran out of gas money. So good for you.

Come on Ron, less time replying to the PEANUT gallery and get us that VIDEO :poke:

Apparently DG missed the part where we somehow established that you work very hard Ron. :BlahBlah: :BlahBlah:

I look forward to imitating your 'Body-at-rest but mind is a steel trap noTouring' style someday.

:thankyou:

We can cut the BS... His boss doesn't post on here.

Awesome post Greg. You know I love the banter, and we all know you always keep it real. :thumbsup:

Two Gregs in one reply, lol! Vid coming Sir :cheers:

That's what I'm talking about :lmao: :lmao:

or pushing one in and out of a shop :D

More

Yes. I've heard of people taking a new car straight tot he track.:headspin:

Get out there and chip it up.:stirthepot:

Get that license plate painted black will you....

Can the Mods close this thread now..... this project is done - stick a fork in it.



LOL



Please move it August 3rd to the Race Cars section.

Whoaaaa hold up there don't be so quick on the trigger.

Ron's going to get it on track this summer so there will likely be a rebuild coming soon.....:underchair:

Ron must of just dumped the clutch, cuz we just had an earthquake.. FOR REAL!!

I'm a ProAssumer too :D

Possibly need a bleed on the clutch slave?

My T56 Mag was finicky the first 5 hundred miles, the next 1K miles could have been described as notchy, after 2.5K miles it's butter. I've ran Mobil 1 from day one.

If it doesn't show signs of improvement Trans/Bell/Crank alignment?

:confused59:

Tickle or attention getter?

That's for resto guys (nothing wrong with it) and Ford NASCAR historians stuck in 1969 :D

:cheers:

Not yet GW, we have some tuning to do!

There'll be some fixin' one day :innocent:

http://www.data.scec.org/recenteqs/index_map.map

Yep, but i cant get links to work cause i'm a computer tard.....Oh "computard" new word

I felt it too! :underchair:

Good guess Sieg but I think I know exactly what it is (I could be worng, but I've been there before on another project). The way the Wilwwod pedals are fabbed in allows for no actuator rod adjustment, so I'll need to figure out a way to space out the throw out just a little bit. Sucks, but needs to be done.

On the fluid, I'm gonna keep running GM synchromesh and see if the break in helps :cheers:

3.7, hit hard and just rolled away
