"Whos thrashing for the drags ? "

Wish me luck, Grease is in the ******, genny mounted, headlight tightened up, guages back plumbed, etc. Here we go to try it out.

Rusty

 

No luck needed. You do good work!

 

Thrashing ???? No just slowly and maticuliously putting my **** together at a fast pace!!!!!!! Still WAITING on my carbs from VINTAGE SPEED!!!! I was told he was the best but they forgot to tell me he was the slowest!!! Hopefully they will come and I will be firing the beast up this weeekend, if not I belive I will be SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

with no KY

 

Last year around this time I was waiting on him and found out he was at the salts !

 

Go f*** me to death!!!! You are ****ting me right.. I cant swap the intake out of my car without pulling the engine (CAUSE THE DIZZY SITS SO FAR BACK IN THE FIREWALL)and ---Oh yeah, I just put THE ENGINE in TONIGHT!!!! O h well 2009 here I come!!!! Have fun
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Got some ****** top issues to sort thru but she fired and made it around the block, She is not liking going in second but first and third seem fine.

 

Still plugging along on the anglia but it aint looking good !

 

Keep ironing, you'll get the wrinkles out..............

 

Screw that.
Call B.F.I.C. in Cali.

I don't care how rare or weird Your set up is, they have carbs built for what You need.

**** Vintage Speed. Total weak **** junk. (sure is pretty junk, but junk, none the less.)

 

I would but they are my carbs I sent to be rebuilt, set-up, linkage, and so on!!!!!!!!!! I am screwed out of the trip if they don,t show in time!!!

 

watcha runnin?
I would hate to miss that car on account of buckets....I have PILES of carbs.

 

Well thanks to Don Ross, I got the correct Shifter top on my ****** and it goes one, two, three, like it never has before. Looks like it is gonna be promising for the drags. Gotta adjust the lifters, work on the brakes, and change out some seats, oh and add a fan for the 100 degree ride up, and I should be ready

Rusty

 

Good deal, Rusty. Glad that it's all coming together.

 

Got the windshield and back gl*** in wednesday. Rusty welded my headers up . Still a lot to do.

 

Sweeeeet......

 

Four two barrel 2G Rochesters. Got a call today they should be here on Monday, linkage, fuel lines, break-in engine, change fluid load on trailer, drink one beer, sleep drive to JOPLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DRINK LOADS OF BEEEER!!! EAT BRAWTS!!!

 

If for some reason the carbs don't make it, toss that ****er on a trailer and haul *** for Joplin anyway.

There have been some pretty *****n Ramada parking lot thrashes...maybe this one could make you famous...

I'm serious. You would have 50 guys getting the motor out of that thing and whipping SOME sort of carbeuration on it, no problem.

Good luck and I'll save you a beer. -Abone.

 

There is a guy at the swap who ALWAYS has 2g's- and i can build those in my sleep.

Bring the car. We can make it happen!

 

Got the engine/trans in the 57' Pontiac and had it running. Sounds real good. Waiting on my rad to be recored (picking it up tomorrow), my alternator rebuilt (picking up tonight), and my driveshaft to be cut down (maybe today...probably monday).

Still trying to get some rims for the car now that I picked up some dog dish's for the car - 57' Pontiac rims with a chevy bolt pattern that will clear disk brakes and fit the stock dog dish hub caps.

 

New generator's in and wipers are working. Wrong motor, but working nonetheless. Too bad my car isn't going to the drags though... Not sure I can trust her that far yet.

 

But I'll be there, car or not! With Lindross, Wowcars, HotRodMama and the big blue bus

 

I guess I am a shoe in no matter what!!! I forgot the swap was within shouting range!!! Linkage and plumbing I have!!!! I will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And ABONE, I will hold you to that BEEEER !!!!!!!!!

 

He's gonna have some weak *** S. Carolina beer. Come find Lux and I. We'll give you a Lone Star or Shiner Bock, real beer.

 

LOL, I just pulled the rear axle apart on the green truck. Been making wierd jerky, lashy movements lately.

Everythings just fine, just the bearing preload on the differential carrier was a bit sloppy but nothing too bad. Checking everything else out and changing all the fluids, rear axle, trans, engine. Oh and I am pulling the intake tomorrow to throw in a new set of intake gaskets. The MrGasket premium ones leak pretty good around the water neck up front.

Do some cleaning and work on my tool kit.

Other than that I'm ready!

 

Just got done putting a new right front wheel cylinder. Blead the brakes the best I could with it being my wifes first time, got the Seat belt in, Got the floor board back in, the new (old) insert in the shell, Shell mounted, Bolted down the downdraft tube, tightened the air cleaners, changed the oil, and went for a spin

Now I am tired


Rusty
