It runs! sounds awesome too.... nearly 500 ci ....

what is this "stock" thing you speak of? find the tire, make it fit :)

Going into cold storage, so need to finish up some things yeah, my favorite, wiring better it all works right... winning so this is going to my new shop in Idaho - so it goes with all its parts. the list of to do: put the 3.42 diff in, swap valve springs, finish the light change, figure out...

one more bite on that elephant this time, seats so the problem, mine is an 86, these are 87 seats. IMO they are so much more comfortable and supportive then the 86. Add to it that it doesn't rattle like the 86 and older... but it's not a bolt in at all... first is make adapters.... still...

other then put the dash back in (4 screws) I have nothing really to do to be ready to run. I can even leave the rear in it... I won't because it's so simple to change - but that was kind of the deciding factor. If I can, why not?

So.... the list: 1) valve springs 2) rear differential 3) fiberglass repair back panel 4) diffusor for area under the tank oh yeah, and move 300 miles.... why? I'm doing Optima again, but pretty much their last one before SEMA - at Thunderhill. They said Willow, but no, Thunderhill (which is...

as much as my lips are saying "no no" Thunderhill in October 10-12 is calling my name. Be a fun deal, actually, as SEMA is a couple weeks after that.... and that is still a solid 'no no' I race because I like the speed, I don't race because I want fame. Thoughts? *oh and for those following...

year end update

fun stuff. We finally got to the point to pressurize the oil system in Paul's car. It leaked from the plug above the oil filter. We spent a month trying to figure out why... in the end, I used my mig to caulk it closed.... transport to the lift now it's back, you can tell because it's...

it would make one question one's sanity, training, and life choices... apple didn't fall far with this one?

I speak french, but they also subtitle in english... I do admit to looking for a 4L after seeing this.... thankfully nothing came up

for those wondering who inspires me.... the funny part of this - he went from a Iveco (or similar) truck with a box to a Renault 4L .... I just didn't go quite as extreme either way - I have a 26 foot class A motorhome, then Suburban, now Blazer.... but still....

well, time to make it move always easier to use the wheel to set the studs wrong size front wheels... so there was some creative spacing done so it'll roll but there we go... the discussion is a meet up and drive Route 66 when this is done. Thinking the Buick Wagon would be the perfect...

pretty darn cool
