Drop a V-8 in & rock & roll!! Little bigger than the Pinto you wanted Ches, but with a 401, that thing would FLY!!!

 

Another day/NVG training flight on the ol Huey, its like being in a ol school 73 Ford, even though its a 67 with 11,000 + flt hours and still rocking!

Doors open and having fun believe it or not, till you see a few tracer rounds, then the fun stops and ......

Back on the big ride in the am.....not to fun and more like work.

 

I'm going to have a spare AMC 360 laying around once I start my 5.3 swap.

Alan, my name is still Curt. It's not a 700, but a 4l60e. Basically the same thing, but still, not. lol Now I need to find either a longer tail shaft or a shorter adapter for the t-case I'm going to be using.

Oh, and the Jeep got relocated closer to my house today. About 35 minutes away now instead of 1.5hrs.

 

CURT! DOH! ...I knew that. Sorry, I'm better with numbers than names. Still cool stuff getting the toy closer.

The Giants won in a "down to the last second, nail biting" type victory. That was a great game! The halftime show was one of the best in years, too. Madonna still has it after all these years. ...even if she mostly plastic by now.

 

I tell you this. The best mod I've ever done to this jeep is the electric fuel pump I put into the small pony tank that I got off of a Workhorse chassis. It's a TBI pump and I wired it up with a relay and a switch in the dash. Turn the key on, flip the switch to prime the fuel to the mechanical pump on the engine, turn the key and about 4 seconds later the engine is running. (Truck sits alot. Last time I started it was about 2 months ago.)

First plan for the Jeep is to get the remains of the old bed off and do some frame repair. I also need to get my axles to my brother in law's house so I can blow them apart and fix/replace what I want/need to.

That 4l60 supposedly has a busted sun shell and the front pump/torque converter are missing, but for free, I think I'm going to do ok on it. Won't be able to tear it down until Tuesday after work. Sun shell was going to get replaced anyways!

 

Good Morning Everybody!

The game is over, it's Monday morning, ....time to get back after it.

I have some errands to run, then I want to get the new black truck started and see what I'm working with. I think someone is supposed to be dropping something off, but we'll see if anyone shows up.

 

Howdy, howdy boys and girls.

It's Monday...and I'm already tired of looking at this computer.

Weather looks pretty good, I may get outside and play a little bit this afternoon!

 

You better be nice, Dave, or you'll wake up to find your van painted the same pretty pink as one particular Bronco we keep talkin' about...

 

Hey youins, I'm back from deliveries and waiting on the wife to pick me up for dinner break. I have the rest of the U-nuts for the Mustang so hopefully tonight is final panel fitment and wetsand the primer.

 

The difference is that I would drive the breast cancer awareness van with pride. Just doing my part to save the boobies.

I used to drive a Barney purple Neon years ago.

Long day at work - enough said. Came home to find the wife up to her elbows in pizza dough and I had the wits to ask "Are we having pizza tonight?" Yup - I'm wearing my sign.

 

Ran/walked 3 1/2 miles, ran up and down the bleachers! (that's hard) Only puked twice! Hickman trains hard! HOORAH!

 

Watch out for those bleacher seats y'all - Ches has been working out.

 

Good stuff, Ches! Before you know it, you'll be able to run as long as you want without puking!

 

That would be nice! I think its the cold Air that causes it! When I get to breathing heavy after a hard sprint!

 

I breathe through my mouth in a rhythm. I know it's not best, but I found it takes my mind off running.
