    Busy is good as long as it's profitable and not so exhausting that you have no energy left for the rest of your life.
    There's always something new to learn.

      Money is good boys,but not having much time left to work on the project sucks. They tell me money can't buy you love,but it can rent it.

        hahahha!

        the most important thing money can't buy is time - it can buy other people's time to free up some of yours - but old St. Pete isn't making any more minutes for any of us.

        Looking forward to meeting up in Columbus Greg - it will be interesting to see if we can find any deals - I need the right tail light bezels for the falcon, amon other things.

              Sounds great! Another guy to help us move 8.8 from one truck to the other! I will have at least one guy with me as well.... strong back, weak mind - you know the drill LOL.

              I'm looking for 62/63 falcon tail light bezels for sure, another friend needs a good used set of pony 4 lug wheels, and I'd buy a 351W EFI intake if the price was right (eventually putting EFI on the ski boat)

                        Milner, the you-pull-it yards are loaded around me with 351 EFI trucks...don't know what the cost is, but I can check. Just don't know how much a bear it would be to pull the upper/lower.
                        It's a chunk of aluminum, so imagine the shipping would be a bit.

                        Love the wagon....LOL saw the door and just had a good chuckle.

                        2022-2024...my GTS ate my motha' truckin' wallet but boy does she fookin' move now.
                        2025... I'm just trying to live my life and have fun.

                          Whats a good price?

                          $300 for GT40 lower (little high?)


                          $1000 for running 351 with GT40 intake


                          $9500 for GT40 351 with free ski boat attached.

                            What does he need for the unicab? I know where a complete one is, the wraparound back glass on the custom cab is broken, the rest was all still there last time I checked.

                                I think thats why he put that on the car and all his other trucks and bikes have the same race team on them,but he's the only corndog on the team.
