^^^Wipes like that makes me glad I'm old and out of touch.

Damn front plate is mounted crooked...inch or so to the passengers' side. I know Jordan's got to make sure all cars leave with a front plate, but OCD TRIGGERED...

Love the progress!!!

Anyone have a source for hot-tub parts online? I have an old one that needs some parts replaced. Yes, not fun but I may as well keep it working!

If you told me Jeff Gordon would win the Rolex 24 driving a Cadillac a few years ago, I'd tell you were crazy.

Looks awesome!!!

I love the contrast!

That thing looks sweet!

I've got a Comp Cams 252H "RV grind and a nearly straight-pipe exhaust using EFI headers (3-2 style, flows way better). Only restriction is the Carter 1bbl carb, but it definitely screams. Only weak point is the trans/u-joints are getting eaten up after dropping the rear without adjusting the pinion angle. Still, she's fast enough and torquey enough for hauling. Love this truck. Thanks for the compliment.

Dude, you need my truck...check out my album as I did the same thing: 1) Need "suburban hauler" 2) Find $900 '80s Ford F100/F150 3) Rebuild engine and fix things with hammers and glue (you'd be swapping in a 5.0L) 4) Rock it cheaply, and enjoy. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=5384 Next to my old 1982 Chevy C20 diesel. It was an automatic and needed a few things so I wanted a SIMPLE TEE-RUK with a stick shift. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=6070 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=5610 Yanking the old 300ci inline-6 for rebuild in 2011. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=6714 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=6768 $80 paint job in my driveway. I couldn't paint over the hood patina. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=6777 2012 picture. Front was dropped even more with FREE DJM "Dream Beams" lowered I-beams Regular cab-long bed Ford's are the shizz...they cost nothing to buy, cheap to maintain/customize and I will be going up to Mad River Mountain this weekend with my daughter in mine to go camping...with snow tires, I've NEVER had a traction problem even though it's 2WD. Plus, they haul a TON of stuff in the bed...and kids think it's super cool. The only reason I'm not driving it on the daily is the bench seat vinyl is finally giving up the ghost and it really needs to be recovered. If it had A/C, I'd drive it a lot more regularly. It's been a great truck and very reliable. Swaps - even on the cheap - will be $thousands. Why not just start off with a bigger, better, cooler platform that accepts the 5.0L (or 5.8L) easily?

Since vinyl-wrap has gotten sooo much better in the last few years, I can tell a dipped car from 50 feet away and moving...it's just NOT a good look anymore. Though I respect if it's a temporary cover or semi-permanent coating over a rough factory finish, for cheap. There's a market for everything.

I'm very interested in taking my son down to be a spectator. Please keep this thread updated!

I'm a fan. Great pics of sweet cars!

Notice how I've highlighted the full context of my post you omitted from your response. Hillary didn't win, bud...no need to make out-of-context remarks like you're vying for a blogger spot at Jezebel although I realized I could've rephrased it a little better to indicate my past-tense support.

Moving this already. I will agree that the press and people have been unfairly harsh with Trump and his team/appointees until I hear the comments coming from his own mouth, Tweets, or his people - it's going to be a bumpy ride. Hoping for a prosperous future for most Americans. Can't be all because of economic realities.

People said I'd never buy a V, but I bought one. Mark my words...if this comes up I'll buy it: Beetle TDI Convertible Stick available for resale from VW for CHEAP. http://www.vwvortex.com/jamie/beetle-convertible/vwvortex-beetle-project-15.jpg

http://jalopnik.com/volkswagen-stashed-hundreds-of-cheating-diesels-in-an-a-1791535662 This is an interesting turn of events...

Agreed. I'm fascinated by this. Props to Tinman as well for trying this with a specific tube diameter...I wonder if a slightly smaller primary tube diameter would make packaging a bit easier without sacrificing on performance or SOUND. I'm reminded of the "Engine Masters" episode on YT where they bashed the absolute garbage out of some Hooker headers on a SBC and dyno'ed the results - barely noticable decrease in power.

I HATE those sorts of YouTube title slides ("OMG!!" "YOU MAD BRO?" "DON'T DO THIS!!1!")...it seems so click-bait'y... That said, this popped up in my "Suggested" videos and I definitely loved that Fiero. I feel that there are quite a number of other vids like that I've seen in the past, but entertaining nonetheless.

When you're done, would you think there could be a market for these done in titanium?

Is the oil filter in the way? Remote filter mount? http://treperformance.com/i-23432836-canton-22-630-ls1-remote-oil-filter-adapter-straight.html

http://media.giphy.com/media/3o7qDSOvfaCO9b3MlO/giphy.gif Well played, brother...well played. Still shoulda gotten the ELR. (That's what I'm looking at as a Tesla-alternative)

Give you $60 for the grinder and stand?

Tl;dr Should've gotten a Cadillac ELR, if you were going to blow your budget out of the water.
