Hey everyone. Hope nobody has washed away. We are breaking over 100 year old flood levels here. Hooray for rain! :(

BlownPony306, welcome to the thread!

Where are you located? Hope you're doing OK there with the water and other messes that the storms brought.

Yes welcome Blownpony306. We got it bad a few days ago but nothing like the people around Indy or up in Wisconsin.
Scott

Located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We are about 50 minutes from the Mississippi River here but have a fairly large river the runs thru the middle of our town. So far this year we have broken snow records, tornado records and now flood records.

Those are not good records.
Hi BlownPony

Did you guys hear about the lake that drained in Wisconsin?
http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=760060

Found my exhaust leak. It wasn't the h-pipe but the top bolt on the driver's side needed to be tighten and tighten. Had to buy the longest 13mm wrenches I could find. But I think all is well. Also the Prothane motor mounts make it feel more solid and more noisy. Tire rack is having a Car Show and a Battle of the Bands this Friday, I think I might be there.

Looks mostly like a ricer show but there is a class for Muscle cars.

I've been to that lake. Can't believe it drained. Wisconsin dells use to make money off of that lake. Thats bad.

Dang, tough times....... **** global warming. :dunno:

+1, that sucks......:mad:

That's crazy....... just crazy!

Ricers? They're too young to know about mirrors and disco balls.......:jester:

Yeah you guys have been getting hit hard the last couple of years for sure. :shame: We don't have a basement and live out in the middle of "Farm country Ohio". I have been looking at building a tornado safe structure here at the house the last couple of weeks. Guess we are getting old and frail.

Hey welcome to the Midwest forum GrnT!!! Don't be a lurker....jump in!!:nice:

Yes I just showed that video to my wife about 30 minutes ago. That was 3/4 of a mile of solid ground and trees before this last storm. We as humans truely don't have a clue what can happen when Mother Nature gets mad do we?:mad:



So Darrell...can your car beat up on them Ricers???:poke::jester::dunno:

Where the heck is STD at?

I think i'm the only cheesehead who's never been to Wisconsin Dells.. :mad::mad:
(moved to IN a couple years ago)

Sent him a PM a week ago and haven't heard a word. Hope he is okay.

I bet his computer crashed from looking at too much porn...... :jester:

morning everyone

hahhaaa, the look on the little boy's face is priceless :rofl2:

Oh God, my sides hurt!

'evening ladies......

everyone ready for father's day?

Hey everyone, I'll have new photos of my car this weekend as long as my bumper install goes well on Friday afternoon. :D

can't wait to see it Justin

This is for 70MACH1OWNER, **** you!.....You old rotten Goat molester......do you feel better now Scott ?......:poke::jester:

Yup, going to the Sox game!

Yep..I was just worried about your lame ***. Now I feel better.:nice:

:lol:

It was'nt me Ben. I swear!
 

[quote=red454;5582672]For anyone still pondering the pros and cons of DST consider this. When told the reason for daylight savings time an old Indian (dude) said, "Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of the blanket and have a longer blanket."


It was'nt me Ben!:jester: I swear!!!

I just paid 4.16 a gal for 93 octane ..... man that felt good !

Well, due to weather problems, my bumper install is now going to be Wednesday instead. I don't want to risk having the car out tomorrow if it's going to hail or anything like that while I'm at work. They're talking about some heavy storms here tomorrow during the day.

evening Folks

Whats on the tube ... rerun of rides on tlc here

Consider yourself lucky. I paid $4.23 / gal tonight for 93 octane!:mad:

This weather sucks. Had a thunderstorm come thru at 3:30-4:00 this afternoon and dumped another 3/4 inch of rain.:mad:

Sunny here today....... actually drove the car to work without fear of rain.

I was gonna try it...but too afraid of the drizzle.

Been kinda quiet on the home front Cody..... how's the new house treating ya?

I'm not afraid of a bit of rain. It's the hail or and very strong winds that I don't want to get caught in.

really good! I plowed under my yard (weeds) and planted all new grass about 3 weeks ago...I'm still waiting for it to grow tall and thick enough to mow...Maybe i'll mow it for the first time on saturday.

Paid $3.92 for 87. It was $3.89 down the road and it was a madhouse.

Everywhere else it was $4.15

Man Do you know how hard it is to find a long handle 13mm wrench. Harbor Freight didn't have one, Sears didn't, and Snap-on doesn't have one. Finally I took a 1" Flat 10" long piece of steel stock and Mig welded it to good Craftsman 13mm wrench. Worked like a charm. Hey Scott how many of the stock studs did you use when you installed the LT's?

Hot and nice here today. Tomorrow 80% chance of heavy T-Storms.

Finally level out my stock exhaust tips, put a 1/2" of washers under the back blacket and put a longer bolt in. Looks good. I'm having problems getting those 4" tips from Aero. Right now I have 2 sets ordered, the second set might get here tomorrow, the first set the Sales Rep. quit e-mailing me last Friday when he took me they would be in stock to ship out.

Hey Tom you can tell me to pack sand but how much was the Photo Shoot????

I don't mind rain or even snow; but I've got the car looking really good right now and there's a show this weekend I'm gonna try to go to, so keeping it dry this week just makes life easier.

Sounds good...... mowing the yard actually gives me like three hours of free time each week; when it rains as much as it has been lately, I mow 2x each week so its like 6 hours of brain-dead relaxation LOL..... hahahahaa.

Photo shoot didn't cost me a thing; the magazine wanted it, so they provided their contractor down to take the photos. The only cost to me is if I decide to have some of the photos printed for my own personal collection, which I probably will because they are awesome! Plus, you can get them pretty much any size including up to 20x30, also even numbered and autographed by the photographer (Tracy Stocker). Tracy is known as THE GUY for automotive pix. You can see some of his work at www.prozakandtonic.com

Holy 10 post batman!

WOW, that was friggin' crazy! I have no idea what happened there.....

Hey Darrell,
I didn't use any of the stock studs on my LT install. I used the Stage 8 locking header bolt kit. Why do you ask?

Had a hard time trying to remove most of them, left in about 3 or 4 per side and the headers slipped on ok. Just would like to know how many times I'm going to need to retighten??? Also what gasket did you use??? Stock, aftermarket or something special.

Darrell, for what it's worth I reused the stock gaskets and studs. I've not had any problems nor have I had any studs come loose. Been just at a year now since install.

Larry and I both used the gaskets that came with the OBX longtubes. Larry used the stock manifold studs on his. And like Tom said he used the stock gaskets (re-used) and stock studs. And none of us have had any problems. So the cheapest thing to do would be just re-use all of your original stuff.:nice:

OK Boys here is the lastedt Mods.... Tear'em up. The Flames are Vinyl and removeable at will.. like a Window Cling. Exhaust tips.. both pair were delivery today. One was like the picture the other look like old stock.

Attachment 59510Attachment 59511Attachment 59512

I think it would look better if they were yellow,orange,red flames....the ones you posted before looked real untill you got to an angle where you could see they weren't..

Where did you find those?

Which the Flames or the Exhaust tips???

The ones I posted before were on a car at the Chicago show and were painted on. I wanted something I could take on and off. Also the Blue flame kind of matches the Black and Blue theme I got going.:jester:

What ???? you never been a member of the blue flame club??????

He's a flamer!

:flamethrower:

Flames and Tips?

Hi Mark. Jump in on us bunch of rubber lips more offen!!
Scott:nice:

:gay: I said I wouldn't go there but sue me I lied!:jester:

http://www.aeroexhaust.com/truck_exh...ip_st3040.html

The flames are from a Window Screen I got at O'Relly's. It's a sticker that I cut out small sections and placed them on a piece of tinted window cling material. That way they can be taken on and off.

So far its about 50/50 on good and bad ideas on another forum.

Waiting on Tom and Scott to chime in.

Well, to be honest I don't like the stickers...... look kinda out of place if you ask me. Just my 2 cents though, you do what you want- you understand the theme that you got going. If it was my car I'd remove that dealer sticker too.

Tips are OK though.:nice:

Those tips are on back order.
Do they fit over the OEM Axel backs? If they do, I might consider a pair.
I have a set of stingers now but they would make the stock ones look better when I use them on long trips.

I agree on the Dealer sticker. The flames could be used on occasions. The tips:nice:

Rainbow flames ftw!

I'm just givin ya chit, its your car, I would not like it any less either way.

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, 'Hey, I haven't seen
you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.'

What do you mean?' said the pirate, 'I feel fine.'

'What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before.'

'Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm
fine now.'

Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?'

'We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My
hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really.'

'What about that eye patch?'

'Oh, one day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up
and one of them crapped in my eye.'

'You're kidding,' said the bartender, 'you could lose an eye just from
bird doo?'

'It was my first day with the hook.'

:lol:

:rofl2::rofl3::lol:

Just back from the Ricers Show (Summer X at the Tire Rack). I entered the Muscle Car class. All Show long I got good comments and the judges both gave me a :nice:. At the Awards it started to rain and they just called numbers. My car was #3, 3rd place was 58, second place was 17 and first place was 30. WTF?????. The then moved under a Tent to pass out the Awards, when they got to my class I wanted to see this #30. Well the guy misread the score sheet and the winner was me:grin:. A nice trophy and a gift certiflicate from the Tire Rack. Don't know how much, it says it will be e-mailed to me.
The bands sucked but it was a nice evening until it rained. Time to wash the car tomorrow.

Hell my exhaust tips were small compare to those ricers. You could have hide a small baby inside some of them. Still havn't decided on the decals but I like the tips. I got both pair it today. One pair say Aero Exhaust and the other say Aero Turbine on the side. Probably need to sell one pair of them.

Awesome Darrell, congrats!! :nice:

Good one!:D




Hey Mark,
Is that your 70 in your avatar?







Congrats Darrell!!:nice:

morning Everyone

hola

Yo you Ho's.:jester: Off to Dad's for father's day dinner tonight!!

Enjoy! And a happy Fathers day to all you fathers.
I will not have my son this fathers day because his mom said I had him for mothers day when we were in Florida, lol. Fair enough.

I will be at the White Sox game, tailgating with the Mustang, drinking some brews, and grilling some sort of meat.

Now Im off to my little cousins 1st bday party.

Just got back from a show in Van Wert, Ohio.... my daughter and I went together. She's 6 years old mind you, so she can be a handful at times. Anyway, we won a Best of Show trophy and I'm stoked! It's almost as tall as she is LOL..... makes for a nice Father's Day present, and being as tomorrow is also my birthday, it's turning out to be a pretty kickass weekend. :metal:

Man best of show :metal::hail: Congrats Tom You have 1 bad @ss Mustang

Thanks Darrell, although I'm still trying to determine if that was sarcasm from you or not........ :jester:

I'm hurt!!!! That was from the bottom of my Heart.

Hahahhaa, I was waiting on the comment that I fell to 2nd place to your black beaut last year. :nice:

Congrats Tom!!:nice:

Any pics .....:dunno:

Congrats Tom:nice:


Nick,
Got your mounts trimmed down today,I'll ship them your way Monday.
Are you planning on using the supplied allen head bolts? If so, I'll also include my cut down allen wrench, the pass side one is difficult to get to as it is directly under one of the primary tubes.

Yes sir, was indeed planning on using the included bolts. THANKS for the help! :) :banana:

The judges must not have seen Tungsten Grey yet. :jester:

Youda Man!!!:banana:

I'm going to the big MCA show in Ohio next weekend and I though I better read their tight rules.
I have 2 tripods that I display with a custom sign and a flag hanging from the 2nd one. I found the following rule. How do you read it as.??? No display or yes display. The class I'll be in is not judged but voted on by popular vote. The car is to new I guess.

9. Signs, displays, stanchions, etc. are not allowed on/in cars to be judged. Cars entered in Retired, Conservator or Thoroughbred classes or for display only are excluded and encouraged to provide displays. All Modified class entries must provide a minimum of one 8 1/2"x11" sheet listing all visible modifications to their car. At the owner’s option, a 1" spine, 3-ring binder may be used to list modifications. Good taste must prevail for all displays.

:doh::dunno::confused:

Well, I read it as since you are not going to be judged in a formal competition then you are fine to have signs, etc. I wouldn't think that popular vote would count... You are entering as display only, right?

Thats kind of the way I'm reading it too. Another rule is you must have a Fire Extingusher at your ready. Mine's mounted in the trunk, is this cool?

4. All cars must have an acceptable fire extinguisher available at all times. However, the fire extinguisher does not have to be permanently mounted in the car.

Wow, I've never seen rules that strict before. That's insane.

You guys see this?

Yes..... and nice avatar by the way. Although it looks like your hood is missing something. :p

I know - it will probably be next week until I can get the stripes on. Rob at Baltimore Street Mods is on vacation... I actually laid sheets of white paper in two rows on it yesterday. Man, I need help.

Happy Fathers Day & Happy B-Day Tom:banana:

See what my kids got me:cool:
