Signs, now this is the real deal, no question about it, almost ready to run, complete with motor plate and headers. There is no question about it the 66 and 67's have a higher resale value in every racers book. Still has the original floors and firewall, plus current certs. Even the motor is a good deal at $3200.00, even if you had to put a crankshaft in it or possible rods and crank. You cannot build a good 489/496 with alum. 360 heads for less than $8,000.00. Hell if you don't buy it all i may buy that 492 motor, it's got all the good parts. I've been aching to build a rat motor anyway, i've got a beautiful polished 3" Kinsler stacks injection setup for alcohol and that motor with the 360 heads is an ideal starting point.

wow guys thanks for all the imput, but im going to wait a few days
to get back in the groove, im in shock. there was an incident down
the street and a gun fight broke out, i saw this man go down and
his sons were yelling for help, i went over and the man was shot
in the head, his brains were all over the sidewalk, with about a
gallon of blood. the man was gasping for air and tried to clear all
the blood he was choking on, his sons were in shock and as the
man looked at me i could see he was brain dead, the man later
died in the hospital he was not stable. and god bless our boys and
girls who go thru this every day in the middle east, im in shock.
the car just is'nt interesting right now, im going to pray for the family
and can't get the mans look on his face out of my head. thanx again

Hey signs I know just how you feel. I still remember when I was at a car show and a drag car lost control doing a burnout and went into the crowd. The feeling of hopelessness or helplessness that you feel at the time takes its toll on you. I couldnt sleep for over a week without replaying what happened at that show.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and to the family that had to witness this tragic event.

Signs-

Wow... sorry you had to see that. Fact is, you will never get that out of your head. The only thing (as you know) is to lean & yield on God right now for some kind of sense or closure. I don't know what to say.... but God will know what you need. Those boys.. I can't imagine... that is awful. You will lean on God about this; those boys might blame God for this. How do you tell them it was not God that caused it?? Those poor kids. I will pray for everyone involved. Take care buddy. I sent you a PM too. Scooter

I read this the other day and had no idea what to say. I still have no idea what to say other than no body should ever have to deal with something so bad. I'm sure that this one event will leave scares on everybody involved forever. I hope some how, some way each of you find your own way to put this behind you. I honestly have no way of writting anything that describes how sad I feel for all involved.

It is truly a shock to the senses the first time one experiences something like that, especially in your own neighborhood.......

Not to diminish your experience, Signs;
Just imagine the visuals, smells, and sounds our combat troops will live with FOREVER............help them by UNDERSTANDING what they might have gone through. Unless you've actually been there, it's impossible to know, but you CAN understand....never coddle, just understand....in order to survive the insanity of war, they have to harden themselves against all those sensations of combat. It all can come out when they get 'home'.

signsbyesa 07-28-2010 06:40 AM

thanks guys, boy, the support on here is fantastic, i do feel better,
but the first thing that i thought of was what our boys and girls
go thru at war, god bless all of them and bring them home safetly,
i don't like that my fat old a$$ stays here and our young kids have
to do the fighting for us, very proud of our young troops, again,
thanks for the support guys, and dirka, stay safe bud. :wink:

Scooterz 07-28-2010 03:32 PM

Well... what a shame... hard to find the words.

You want to know what really caught my heart- was no kids should EVER have to see that... their own parent... man, that is about as tough as it gets.

At least in war a kid does not watch his father graphically die that way...

Tough stuff... awful.

TheYellaBrick 07-28-2010 07:56 PM


Scoot, just a reminder....We've a LOT of National Guardsmen/women in which are many husband/wife parent/child couples who are serving in theater together. There's been more than a few of those teams broken up in the last 10 years.....God Bless 'em ALL for the dedication, professionalism, and love of country they display EVERY day they are away doing 'the hard job'.
