  1. Lol there's always the one guy that finds random stuff about the pic...
  2. Well I have been putting it off for too long and heard about brent here on CR. He came to my house one evening and looked at the door and put an estimate together. Came out today and did a high lift conversion on my garage door so that I can use all the ceiling potential that my garage had to offer. Now I can have the door open and stand flat footed (6ft tall) under the lift or park another car under the lift. A++ service and a great guy Thanks Brent sorry for the janky photo but you get the idea http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0349.jpg
  3. Slow progress as usual but the trans is back in with the new ptc converter and braided lines from the remote cooler to trans. All the feed line and return fuel line is installed. Installed some new wilwood brakes up front and bought new aluma star wheels for the front. At this point all that is left is to hook up the shifter cable, make the spark plug wires and run the battery cables....and install the wiring harness. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0343.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0348.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0346.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/IMG_0344.jpg

  5. Never seen fluid, still in original bag. Was going to use with my th400 but decided to go with a flexible one since my engine is setback and space is not what I thought it would be I paid over 55 with tax I will sell for 40$ http://www.jegs.com/i/Hughes-Performance/512/HP2235/10002/-1?parentProductId=760487
  6. 160mph is crazy enough let alone on snow/ice :fuckyeah:
  7. CME was great for us. We just bought a used vehicle and got 1.99% on the loan. We also refinanced my truck for a lesser term (44months) and got a rate of 2.65
  8. hope to make it to a few this year and meet some of you guys
  9. fuck not sure how i missed this, my buddy wanted a kit. someone got a hell of a deal
  10. all expensive places IMHO but id not hesitate to ship items to killer koatings in kentucky. Kenny Meade does amazing work and his prices are more than fair. I now will send every ounce of my work to him. killerkoatings@zoomtown.com and cell is 513-703-5928
  11. ^ thanks mark that means alot, I love the vette. I can only hope my car will some day day be within a second and a half of your car
  12. I love the look of stainless, and I spent an assload on material. but I had the downpipe (mild) and cold stuff (mild) coated by nitro plate. And Once I get some more money and if the stainless turns to not looking so good I will send it all to nitro plate. You cant beat that stuff for the price and quality. I am pretty much down to some petty stuff on the car and then the wiring which I hate doing and then it will be time for a tune. The wiring hopefully will come out pretty slick. I am going to build a control panel and got some pretty cool stuff for it. I am mounting my 3 step, ams boost controller, some gauges, terminal strips and relay boards and a switch panel to it here are the boards I am using. the two relay board is for the fuel pumps and will be mounted in the back by the battery and then the large 8 relay board will be on my control panel http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/leash1.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/leash2.jpg
  13. if you google meanyellowz he has a super budget way of putting together a 5.3 swap and then of course you got the turbo stuff. Its unreal to me why anyone wants to mess with gen1 stuff anymore unless you are restoring something or know carbs real well. For me at least when you add up a mild built sbc or bbc (starting from scratch) you cant compete with the price of doing a fuel injected gen 3+ motor. I bought my 5.3 from deer creek with no core for 350 and when i changed to 6.0 I bought a complete motor from them for 425.00.... but thats shopping for a deal for a while
  14. im gonna give it a shot. I shave every day so I spend a decent amount in refills
  15. I guess I was expecting better then 7.93@152... sick car though
  16. taurus is the cheapest car for departments to get
  17. city of columbus has an ordinance for discharge in city limits its a misdemeanor. each city is different. Im not sure what reckless conduct is? Here that may equate to disorderly conduct, I guess I would need to see the elements of the crime on paper.
  18. HMM interdasting. If there was no ordinance for discharging a weapon within city/township limits then I would do that all day here in ohio but I guess its a New Hampshire thing. I am guessing he was not "arrested" more so issued a summons to appear for the charges and then the felony packet or whatever was sent to the prosecutor or grand jury. Stories like these are always disconcerting but I guess we dont know all the facts either.
  19. I love those hydrographics. I am curious the longevity of the application with the heat.
