Anyone been doing any car stuff?

Figure I needed to bust up the non car talk posts a bit.............so Nick you get them bars on yet? Dan you get the hats for bats on yet?

I got my heads done, time to get on with the DD build D=D0VE's, I'm going to get some parts for x-mas so I can get r done. I got a lot on my mind about this build right now. Hope brings some goodies

It's cool to get engine parts for Christmas!!

I've been waiting for the snow to melt to pull my heads off and fix this head gasket problem. Got pretty crappy here the last couple of days, snow and cold. Supposed to be up around 60* Tuesday!! I hope to get it pulled apart and cleaned up then.

i stripped the car and had the cage updated for 7:50 '68 stang, had it painted too

fixed the rear spoiler on the '88 had both cars on the chassis dyno before stripping the motor and interior out

up dated the lift off front end on the 68

starting to winterize the '88 may just pull the motor and trans after doing a leak down test this week.

need to "adjust " the wheel opening for the '88 to accept 29.5 tall tires. this may be a few days away before I start.

need so tires??

I've been working on my Fairlane. I finally put that C6 in that I bought at the Bash, but it's not shifting good right now. I wasted money putting in a new billet servo yesterday, but it's still shifting lazy from 2-3, and there's an 8 second delay with the 3-2 upshift. It's still nice to drive it around again. It took me forever to finally put that trans in.

Brought my wagon home, getting ready to start cutting it up and install the 528. I've also been selling off some extra parts to get some cash so I can have Scotty J rub on my Blue Thunder heads.

My new pipes will require different muffler bearings, waiting on spring for some new fresh air, new flux core capacitor, Matty box tune up, traction control upgrade, reposition photo cell light sensor, fighter pilot canopy and some other top secret stuff that cant be posted on the internet.

Nice Curt!

I buy parts, and look at them while I buy more parts...one day I will have enough parts to talk shit. but I will say this I need to get this clutch in this F150 so I dont have to fire up this 71 torino without a choke, and drive it in the snow thats about to hit any day now...god I'm lazy, but slave cylinders, and bleeding the line scares me...its gonna come down to a foot of snow, a tank of propane, a few trips to the local auto store, a few frozen pizzas, a bunch of cuss words, 3 packs of cigarettes and a 12 pack... its not gonna be a good day around here, but beats the hell out of shopping for shower curtains, and pillow cases....

Yes but it going to have to be after the 1st of the year Jon

And I think we know what has been going on the HeRo'S Lair.....something about DDs......

I got to work on my Stocker '91 Coupe today.
Got the k-member dropped with 1.5 inch spacers and got my BBF sitting real low and shoved back against the firewall.

Got the engine ready to pull for the H-beam rods. Gonna put new rear shocks, wider rims, and lexan in. Going to try to move the engine back an inch when I put it back in. May also get a new intake or have Uncle Charlie work his magic, and pull the wire harness for toggles. Wife won't get me car parts so I will use the credit card and get them myself! Merry Christmas to me!!!!!

I'm ass deep in Chuck's car..I ain't got time to work on mine!!Put the tail light panel in it today that i got at the Swap Meet yesterday[img][/img][img][/img]

Its ok Dan, I see you dont hunt or watch football................

i got my pistons from "Snake"and took them and the new IDT block to the machine shop.with any luck i'll have a 605 sometime next year. i did all the work to the car over the hot summer we had so now for the fun part! 605 time

bought some parts for the racecar!...but I am concetrating on the 65 Fairlane for the street. Need the D shaft cut and balanced, and finish wiring up the ignition...duraspark and an msd box...then she should be able to fire up!...I have to figure out this picture thing....my pics always want to post in an over sized state....I have lots...maybe a link to where they are???

Still in the planning stages. We need to build new headers because mine are getting thin but while we are doing it I want to change the front suspension to free up some space. Plan is to switch to different upper a-arms and coil overs so we can trim the shock towers back more or do a fox strut set-up. Still debating that one. Would like to put a Frank Merkel trans brake in also if funds allow.

I have already rewired my car and installed a new ignition box. Got the motor apart waiting on rings, bearings, new cam and the trick flows i got from Charlie. Probably gonna build a wing and a new set of tires to handle all the new horsepower.

Nick needs to make me a mod for the day, I know EXACTLY how to fix that with these forums. There is a picture size limit you can set for the forum so they wont be over sized and you can still see the full image. I could fix that problem in a jiffy, maybe I should let Nick know about how t do that for you.

Working on the golf cart, 4" lift, roll bar, top, hitch, rear seat, new tires, Cragar S/S hubcaps, and a new JVC AM/FM/CD / speakers from Bruno after tomorrow morning. Also have the rear of the Falcon removed.
