Hope to gets some good shots of it tomorrow,outside,if it quits raining!!

FINALLY was able to pull the car outside to get some pics.Looks totally different outdoors.Been regretting tubbing the car,instead of going straight axle.But now I am very happy with how it turned out.Guess I'll have to find another project to go gasser on.El Ranchero,maybe???

He's a man of very few words. :)

wow, looks awsome oldsy! always a good feeling to see it as a whole car for the first time. your going to have to get a sound clip of that nasty looking big block for us.

If I only knew how.You been to the track to set any records yet???

Ahh man, what happened to the brass knuckle valve covers?


Looking good, Eric, I'm jealous.

They wouldn't clear my stud girdles :( You want em ??:D

Actually I already bought some new ones, I don't have to use stud girdles since I have t&d's shaft mount rockers so it wouldnt be a problem, but...... they would be nice to have around as a conversation pieces, what are you asking for them?
Cp

na, tracks are still closed around here, the car should be ready to race late july or so... Iv just been spending tax refunds on some goodies for the car, not to mension picking up a few goodies for myself at the 'folks home if ya know what I mean! :D

good news though, my main fiero competition in FL hasnt passed 11.2 yet (turboed v6 w/auto) so my chances are looking even better. 8) :twisted:

:roll: 'folks home :roll: cougar hunter. :D Good luck V8 and let me know how it goes.

Hey Charles,If you really want them pm me.I do need to tell you one thing about the covers,though.The holes for the push-in breathers are a little big and you have to silicone the grommetts in.Never leaked on me,though.Need a good polishing though.I got them listed in the classifieds,but like I said,if YOU want them let me know and we'll figure out something.Ever quit raining at your place yet?Any progress on the 496?

Talk to ya later fellas

Tested Friday.New suspension works great!Carrying the front tires like never before.With 13.5 psi in the tires.Tires don't even wrinkle :? Car just goes straight and steady.Who needs a frame jig when you got cinder blocks and plywood??!!! :wink: Still slow but at least I got a car worth putting power into now.WOO HOO I'm happy today,boys and girls!! :mrgreen:

THAT IS GREAT ERIC :lol: :lol: :lol:

HAVE FUN :lol: :lol: :lol: -LIVELY

Thanks,bud.I am having a blast!!!I was sitting in the staging lanes and was sooo revved up that my helmet was bouncing fron my heart thumping so hard!!!Man I love this sport.Forget the a/c business...I'm goin' pro :D :D

I think thats racin in general Eric lol time well spent and alot of money well wasted lol

You got that right. So much beter than wasting it on groceries and bills.

lol :lol:

Bitchin! :D

Tranny guy took it apart in front of me and we saw what happened.The snout on the back of my pump was severely worn down and that resulted in low line pressure where the rings couldn't seal,and you can figure the rest from there.Clutches went bye-bye.Got hot enough to melt the nylon bushings.I'm anxious to see what the car will do now!!Low line pressure and slipping 1st and 3rd clutches.Still carried the fronts 60 feet uot before settin' 'em down.Oughta see some better 60's than 1.52 now!!!3rd was burnt so bad that the clutches wouldn't lay flat.The centers were about 1/4" of the table :oops:

Ya im just hopin my wife never asks to go to the shop with me cause on my desk is all the receipts that I have lol and she would whoot me dead on the spot if she saw how much money I spend in a month lol :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

If she gives you any lip just tell her to get back in the kitchen, and make you some pie!!.
:P

Lol na im already in the dog house this week for what she saw as bein mean to her sister when I thought I was just bein honest lol :lol:

:lol: :lol: I would love to hear the story behind that one....but I don't think I do,really.Think...then speak!!! :lol: :lol:

Wait Eric do you wanna hear the story or not?? Not gonna lie its a good one :lol:

Put it on me........

Tranny worked great,60' still sucks 1.54 was the best this weekend. :( Need more converter. :idea: :?:
