Oh ok I wasnt sure Jay.

I like red Dave! Thats gonna look good! Is it gonna be auto or 4 spd? There is a black Torino that runs around here from time to time but I am not sure on the year. Nice looking car though. Sounds like we need that working GTG soon I see a list starting already.

LOL, sounds like a plan Troy!

Probably gonna stick with auto. Though I have thought about putting a T5 in it. It's might hard to find the pedal assembly for them though.

Well my friends, time for bed! Have a great night!

I know what you mean Jay I have a whole shed full of project cars but no money to finish them. I actually put one of my trucks on CL sunday and have about 3 people that are serious about it! Trying to get a little more money rounded up for that BTS if I can.

Yeah or you got the money and no time but that almost never happens. I have never been much of a skier especially snow. I can water ski ok though.

I like to water ski but only know one person with a boat so I don't get out much. I can drop a ski and slolom(sp?) kinda, I have tried to wake board but never got out of the water.

Good night Troy

I got pics of my trucks that's been sitting. The pics are in my photo album. Since the deal to buy it fell through I guess i'll be cracking the heads on the v-10 to get to the problem of it's demolishment of oil.

If I have to rebuild the engine I might as well swap something into it right?
