Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

The T-Tops I can't do anything about....The General sent it out that way.


The bra....ROFLMAO...yeah, it's a beaut, isn't it? Looks like a drunk on a 3-day binder...serious bags under the eyes

Surprisingly enough, I bought the car the way it sits now(except for the headers, plug wires and StreetFire box)....

we're getting warmer still........we can do better...

The horned water neck. The WTH is that pipe plug thing on the AC box. Yes the wheels need to find a dumpster. The stripes, fix them or lose them.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

Notice some of that wiring I was talking about, HBS?

Yeah. Didn't want to mention it, but I noticed it! :D Someone loved the hell out of NAPA wire and electrical tape. Looks very similar to the scene underneath the hood of my buddy's Camaro a while back. I ended up snagging a harness out of a Camaro in the junkyard. Made things alot easier.

Come on guys, we're getting warmer, but there's one GLARING violation that hasn't even been mentioned yet...and I left it on for the express purpose of being flamed for it.

Three other things I noticed. What the hell is that aluminum crap running by the passenger side manifold? The disconnected AC system, and the ignition box mounted on the firewall.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

The aluminum "crap" is DEi heat sheathing for the fuel lines....came from trying to reduce fuel temps.

The A/C box.....looking for a non-A/C plate to eliminate that obtrusive POS.

The mounting location for the ign. box.....late-night install, not many places to mount it(the A/C box in the way of running wires inside of the car, wanted to mount it inside)

the "horned" water neck is the factory-issued unit....one that will be replaced this winter.


I gotta say this....the "other" site (and all of you)really inspired me to keep this thing and stay in the hobby....I've got a LOT of stuff to fix!

Thanks to all playing along...LOL

BTW, the one "glaring" violation hasn't been mentioned yet...keep looking!

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

The fact the bra is hiding the yellow nose?

[HillbillySailor]

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

Still curious t see if Dave finds something we all missed. He seems to have the nose of a blood hound for these things... ;D

One thing I forgot to mention though. Beautiful car you have there tiresmoke, even if we are bagging on it. have you though about running block-hugger headers on it? It may not seem like a big deal now...until you have to pull the starter, then it's quite a bitch. If the starter ever goes out, I reccomend a "small starter" from an early to mid 90's 4.3 S-10. It's a gear reduction starter that fits quite nicely in that little space.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

...or the bra, itself?

[tiresmoke!]

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

Thanks, HBS...it's a stinker, but it's MINE...LOL

The headers aren't as bad as you'd think.

Edelbrock really did their homework with the T.E.S. headers/Y-pipe......those are "shorty"-style headers, actually easier to get at the starter with them on than the stock manifolds/y-pipe.

I'll keep that starter suggestion in mind.

yeah, still haven't mentioned the one GLARING violation...left it on for the express purpose of a rousing bout of Violation game.

Brian must be on feeding patrol...otherwise I'd expect him in here roasting me as well!

[tiresmoke!]

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

Yeah, the bra is going the way of the Edsel soon....some flex primer and paint in an uncle's garage.

[HillbillySailor]

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

I'll keep that starter suggestion in mind.

Another suggestion is to install a starter solenoid. Sure cuts down on the heatsoak problem those starters are prone to. I have directions on how to do it if you want or need them.

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

Pine tree air freshener?

[tiresmoke!]

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

Nope.

I use the vanilla scented ones, and only in my semi.

Come on, look closer....I'll give a hint:


It's on the outside

Re: *** "OFFICIAL" VIOLATION GAME THREAD***

The white lettered tires!!! ;D
