32 Ford "tweaks" and a few mods

[GregWeld]

Working on a buddies '56 BBC with 8 stacks -- We now refer to the FAST XFI 2.0 "upgrade" as the "three hour tour..."

He wanted to change oil -- and do that upgrade - and THREE LONG days later we drove it to GG Show in Puyallup. Long story. But it included a butterfly that was BLOWN from flat to being bent 90*'s.... OMG! That "explosion" still has me jumping.

The SpeedTech crew just left my house... and are headed home -- but I have a whole lot of really "killer" equipment around my place right now! I think the plasma will blow through the padlocks in no time.... and keys were left in the Nova that is in "the shed".... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........

Leave the side door open.......on my way now!


That '56 with the BBC is a really nice car. Your buddy was telling me about that explosion, how could that happen with everything shut down like it was?

I was good to catch up with you at the show. The cars all looked great, but the 32 really stood out I think.

Eric -- Yeah -- it's a really nice car!

If I could answer your question I would - but I'm still scratching my head about that.... nothing turning over - fuel pump disconnected - key "on" for 3 or 4 minutes... and all of a sudden.... KABOOM! Inside the shop and with the car on the lift --- it was f'n LOUD and HARD.

I'm an internationally licensed pyro --- so I've been around a few large explosions in my lifetime.... but this one was so unexpected... and inside the shed like that... and I'm just sitting there doing the XFI update.... it was a real shocker!

Thanks for the kind words on the '32.... We did have a sweet "camp" set up this weekend! Shade - bathroom 50 feet away - food.... what's not to like!

Yeah, you guys had some prime real estate at the show!

Save that butterfly for a wall hanger.....good conversation piece. I can imagine the crack from the explosion was pretty intense in the shop. Glad I wasn't there....woulda called for a change of shorts......

Well.... Since I have to haul a trailer south to Charley's place to pick up the Mustang ---- I called Brizio this morning to inquire if I could drop off the '32 at their place for them to replace the clutch and do a full alignment on the car.

Good news! They said heck yeah - bring her on down! So instead of an empty haul - Miss Redo will go down for a nice needed fix.

Not sure what SAR did to this clutch (hydraulic) but it's never been right... and I'm 100% certain that Brizio can make the required fix, whatever that is.... I just don't have the time or space with Rudy's Camaro still occupying the lift.... and I have to get the '37 out of the trailer... so it has to go into the shed... and blah blah blah.

So Dave.... if you want to see her - she'll be there sometime this Thrusday...

Sounds like a good idea for a number of reasons Greg.

Bring your 'A' camera, huh?
