Some of you guys make me feel like I only have a mild case of PMS!
Headers and cherry bombs on my gassers.
Modified my 1980 VW diesel Dasher to accept a 1983 VW Quantum turbo-diesel and 5 speed transmission. Turned the pump up and put a big exhaust pipe on it. A real sleeper. It would torque steer at 85 mph.
Banks headers on my 1995 F-250 460.
And of coarse the PSD.

 

Most mods done to my daily drivers were mostly cosmetic. Wheels, K/N filters, stereo upgrades.
Mods to my PSD have been mild. I did an AIS upgrade and will be doing a 4" upgrade exhaust and guages in the future. No more mods after that. Ill reserve the really trick mods for a "play" truck in the future.
During the winter of '02 I took a '98 H-D Road Glide and made it a Roadking. Rewired the bike, made a custom guage bracket and handlebar cover, jetted the carb, added drag pipes.
Now I usually take the mod itches out on my '49 Ford F1 truck. Pics of that are in my gallery.

I never leave well enough alone. I have always tweaked all the cars I have ever had in the past 38 years.

Currently. 1946 flathead V8. Bored and stroked it from 239 ci to 296 ci. Pontiac intake valves. Isky 410 track cam. Navaro aluminum heads. Relieved intake area in block. ported exhaust. shaved about 10 lbs off the flywheel. Dual Strombergs on a vintage Edelbrock slingshot intake. Guessing I went from 95hp to near or better than 200. All this done on my 1930 Ford Coupe hiboy.

1925 Ford track roadster with a 292 inline chevy 6 with Isky 525 cam. Triple carb Offenhauser intake. Carbs have been rejetted or should I say repiped to run alcohol. Haven't yet finished this project, still looking for a Winters quick change rear end at a good price.

Ever since I bought my first car, a 1956 Chevy Belair back in 1968, I have modified something or another. If it has an engine, I just can't leave it alone. The only combustion engine I couldn't modify was my Piper Cherokee 235. The FAA frowns on that.

 

Yeah. According to a friend, they don't make awful noises or threaten or fine you. They just refuse to certify it. I love to fly - but I know it would be the end. I'd end up on skid row looking for one more "fix" - just one more hour...

I can see it now, I'd have to carry a sign that says, "Will work for left seat time."

 

Flying is probably my biggest passion. I have always said it is the most fun you will ever have with your cloths on.

 

I place the blame squarely on this website. I was fine, minding my own business and enjoying life... and then I found this place. It's been downhill, uphill, and "don't spare the horses", ever since.

 

I have about 35 hours on my log book and then I had to land. I just don't make enough to support that habit. I love it though.

 

Yea Kwik, it is not cheap. Unfortunatly I lost the 235 in a divorce a few years back and now because of the rising cost of used airplanes, I had to return to renting which is astronomical. I am having a hard time justifying a $100,000 airplane as a hobby. This is probably why I returned to hot rods and vintage racing. These too might be expensive, but at least I am not paying for annuals, hanger fees and all else related to owning an airplane.
