Cory, let us know how that works out. I'm guessing FAIL.......

Jim, I believe Daves is a 68. Wasn't the Starsky and Hutch a 74-75?

I have a 69 fastback Torino that needs some attention.

Mike, your Torino should have a diesel in it.

Got to love "projects".

Mine is still together except the interior and trim is stripped. Going to keep it that way until I can get the time(money) to work on it .

I'm not so sure about that, was thinking big block but might end up being a turbo small block instead.

Morning guys! No class Tuesdays! Thought about going fishing this morning, but I'm really enjoying my coffee this morning without having my feet froze stiff in the fish house.

Good Morning everyone!!!

Sheesh .. I better watch my back. i leave for one night and Cory is unknowingly buying a truck, trailer and a couple of sleds!!

Cory ... you do realize that a "honey do" list is really a "husband do" list? It's a one way street. The laws of marriage don't allow it to be a two-way street.


Well ... bought new GPs yesterday. Now I just need to wait for Wed/Thurs to warm up enough to start the truck and get it in the garage.

I also did the valve cover gasket on the Saturn for a 3rd time since we've owned the dang thing. I finally had to order an in-lb torque wrench from Amazon. Nobody locally carried one in stock(at a reasonable price). This better do the trick or I'm going to blow the f'ing thing up. It goes through about 2-3 quarts of oil PER WEEK!

I suppose I better get ready for me conference call with a vendor. Chris can attest to this ... backups suck!!
