Skid Mark - how fast for 5k?

[SuperBuickGuy]

True dat, next thing you know you'll be whining about how the magazine industrial complex screwed you out of a place at drag week due to your lack of attention.

I could whine, but I'm just a country bumpkin to Speedy's cheese and whine.

Beags, whatcha doing listening to your dad on any other day then father's day? But even more importantly, tell me about these terrible monsoons they have in Texas.... really

[Beagle]

Folks from Seattle consider a solid rain what we consider a sprinkle?

[SuperBuickGuy]

we really are wimps when it comes to rain - city shuts down, people stay home watching the weather channel. Pretty pathetic if you ask me

[BBR]

We've had a rainy weekend here too. Sucks for us driveway hot rodders.

Nice intake dude! Now put on your slicker, and get out there and get to work! haha Time is slippin by fast!

[Beagle]

Roger that. I pulled the other head out of the parts cleaner today and fought the (2 year old gas in the ) pressure washer for a while. Good grief, new old gas smells worse than I remember. I am on the fence with the milling thing I dropped off in the tech section earlier. I straight edged these things and they are pretty good. I need to spend a few minutes of intimacy with the grinder making head 1 look like head 2 as I got a little friendlier with head 2's intake ports based on some last minute reading.

Car waits, impatiently, and I need to order a wiring harness from Painless.

I pulled the block out from under the table and will bathe it this week and start lower assembly checking. How many times do you have to put them together, measure, take them for a ride, then put them back together, measure, take them apart again? lol.

Once.

Then either enjoy over and over............... or get out the broom and dustpan! If broom/dustpan are not required then obviously not enough gunpowder was used, this can be rectified with engine #2.....

Before you order from painless - check out rebelwire - I went with them for the falcon - obviously not installed yet - but their prices are way way better, I called before placing the order and got one of the owners on the phone.... not some headset flunky.

[STINEY]

x2 on the Rebelwire.

I haven't ordered from them, but I have done the price comparison thing. Painless is way towards the top of the price chain, and there are a bunch of competitors with lower pricing.

[Beagle]

Rebelwire - check. Their prices look doable... it doesn't need much in terms of wiring. The 9+3 should do it. Thanks guys!

[Beagle]

order showed up from Speedway today. 30.00 steering wheel.. 17" , should work great with the BBF on manual steering. lol. Told you guys I was building a truck! I went ahead and bought cats for it too. They do a visual here. 44.00 apiece for 2.5" cats seemed okay to stay vaguely legal. I'll flange the h-pipe so it comes out at the track with not too much work.

oooh stylin. Putting the Mustang style airbag for sale, maybe it'll pay for the steering wheel.

[BBR]

What kind of airbag? I have 2 3" "cats" I'll swap ya that were on the ranger. Guaranteed to pass visual!!! At least in amarillo

[Beagle]

90-93 style I think is when they used them? The 90 lost tilt wheel over it. Looks like this, I'll go out and verify in a bit:



I think it's tan...

My guy in San Antonio is starting to get to me, he's draggin his feet on the Hookers.

[BBR]

I was thinking a suspension air bag, like the kind you use to launch straight!! Lol iFail..

[Beagle]

AH!

I have a couple of Arnott bags from '05 I think, from the rear... they're pretty good, still pretty pliable. It was the compressor that was weak. Dang, I should post earlier, I was just there, could have swung the cats for the bags?

[BBR]

If you want them, you can haz.
