I just secured my transportation for tomorrow's festivities at Foxwoods. I will be traveling to, in a 1985 Testarossa, and from, in a 2006 F430. I am wicked pumped. Pictures upon my return.

Aaron, give that lube some time. My dually took a day to get it to work. Congrats on the new ride.

Drags were great. Had lots of fun! Packing up so we can grab some food downstairs and head out to the Point Pleasant Aquarium. Have a great day everyone. Will be back in CT tonight sometime.

Not to worry pics on the way and Ya I drive it fairly regularly. I try to do most of my commuting with it to keep the diesel nice, but it is a non-a/c truck so during the summer I don't.

Tried out the new to me welder on this project and I'm glad to say it works real nice.




Not bad for a 20 year old mig welder I picked up for 200

Ok so onto todays project, I had fabbed a new aircleaner mod similar to the aircleaner mod the Powerstroke guys do.


I never really finished it and it fell off sometime last week I really don't know when except it had started running like crap and on Friday I opened the hood to check the oil and hey somethings missing.


So for $36 I bought the same parts that fell off. If you look at the "Y" above, today I welded some bumps onto it so the rubber has some thing to hang onto. I also fabbed up a stand to attach to the inner fender and welded it to the pipe. Then I powdercoated it to make it pretty
