Merry Christmas my fellow Mopar Fanatic! Best wishes to you and your family!
 
 

Happy Thanksgiving!
 
 

Thanks for the bulletin comment and a big thanks for the vote. I've been profile of the day before with my Mazda but never been close in the running for Profile of the month. This is just cool. Thanks again for the vote.
 
 

 
 

Hope you're havin' a good week.
 
 

I never use the tablesaw or I would cover it. I paid like $100 for it at Menards and the blade and housing are as tight as it can be and it moves side to side alot so can't get a good cut. Expensive saw horse and paint stand.
 
 

Hey Scott, I have a question. Why does everyone put the glass fuel filters like on the panel close to the carb, wouldn't it be better before the pump? My hose is cut down before the pump with a piece of pipe in there and would like to put my filter there instead so I could run the braided hose cover from the pump to the carb.
 
 

Well the new battery only did the trick a few starts. Starter went back to just the wheel engaging but not turning.After trying for 20 minutes to jump it gave a tug and got some slack in the cable to the starter while the wife turned it over and it fired right up. I bought all new battery wires for it yesterday so hopefully that takes care of it.Did you see the latest pics I took? I'm trying to identify the seats that were in it.
 
 

I'm back to a v8 so you don't have to be lonely anymore, LOL! Got tired of no tuner or sport compact classes at shows and getting thrown in the 70 and up type street machine class. If that is where I have to show might as well have a bad ass street machine. ha ha!
 
 

Hi Scotty! How have things been with ya? Hope you have a super tuesday;]sky
 
 

sweet! Wish I was working! LOL. Soon though for me....I can feel it and some of the jobs I looking at...work at home!! YAY!! No need to get up and drive ANYWHERE!! That would be awesome. haha
 
 

Welcome bro!!

What happened? You used to be on my friends list.

I am glad I am doing better too....I feel so much more....happier I guess i would say. :D


 
 

Im a nut shell, Gordon paid a local shop to bore out his factory original motor and rebuild the factory original heads. The machinest bored his motor 40 over and cleaned up the heads. The guy didn't rebuild them at all, but charged Gordon for the work. Then the guy retired. The shop isn't going to honor their ex-employee's work.

The heads having not been rebuilt with any new parts was allowing the oil to drain into the cylinders is mass amounts. Some where along the way in the last 1600 miles something forein got into the cumbustion chamber and scored the hell out of the #7 cylinder.

Two choices are to sleeve #7 or bore the factory numbers matching motor 60 over and risk possible overheating issues.
 
 

Hey Scott, the motor wasn't done right with the first machinest. So I went ahead and ordered a new crate motor from summitracing. I'll do the numbers motor later, bag it, and save it for a rainy day.
 
 

SUP MAN??
 
 

Welcome home! Hope you enjoyed yourself on vacation!
 
 

I know. I'd love to get my hands on a 69 Charger and a 57 Bel Air. Congrats on the anniversary! Have fun on vacation!
 
 

Thanks for the add! I love your car. A 69 Charger happens to be my dream car...so I'm pretty jealous over here. Lol.
 
 

6 and a half months from start to finish. Funny thing is I'm even proud of his win last night. Its not my car and I'm extreamly proud of it. Last night I'm telling people all about it in detail. The cool factor is, as far as we can tell its the only fully restored back tooriginal SOA nova in the south western United States.
 
 

Good morning.

Getting ready to meetup with 7t4-soa (gordon) to do a car show that benefits the local high school's auto department.

I'll have pictures by tonight.

have fun today
 
 

Ha! Then we have a lot in common because they sound a lot like me; happy and spoiled. ;]
 
 

Well let's see... I have been in pennsylvania a lot. I went to Dover, DE.. Ocean City a few times. Last weekend I was in Ocean City and then Philadelphia. Next weekend I'm going to Atlantic City! Woohoo! I'm the traveling gnome ;] How the heck have you been?
 
 

Thanks alot Scott. I'm really happy with the finished product. Now, I'm just going to enjoy driving it. Congrats on your new ride also. Can't wait to see the pics of it. Later.
 
 

Good morning early bird!
 
 

The grape ape looks good on a mag cover.

sweet work on the banners !! love ur work !! - frank
 
 

voted for you in muscle and classcis again
 
 

That's one thing I really like about showing a newer car. Everyone thinks their car isn't show worthy so the class sizes are small. With a classic like yours might be up against 100 cars. I never won anything with the Barracuda or Chevelle but got a thanks for coming type awards. I hated that.
 
 

 
 

Haha, lol thanks! :]
 
 

LOL! I looked everywhere for a wild orchid colored 5 speed Probe so I could have someone airbrush a big silver back ape on the hood and call it that, LOL!
 
 

 
 

Got family in Kansas in Muscotah, Topeka, Effingham and I forget where else, it's nice back there minus those twisters.
 
 

not too bad. had a few problems with the truck,but pretty much got them worked out.
how has everything been with you?
 
 

Hey Scott, Thanks !!!!!!
