StangMahn

you've got the rest of the week off?

TacoBill

That sux.
Why can't these guys control their own quality? Leo's problem sounds familiar Jed?




Latest news is there is no news. I have no flippin' idea if the motor's been pulled yet. I'm supposed to check with him today, but I have the day off from work and I'll be taking Chris to Venice Beach. So, I don't think I want to deal with any bad news today. I will stop by the shop tomorrow though and update you guys then.

I'm honestly questioning whether or not I'll make the Ricky & Ronnie show on 7/27.



If anyone's entering in the Modified Class, make sure you have a 'theme'.

Hey George, you're not a Corvette owner.....you're a mustang guy who's had a Corvette.

StangMahn

Im a mustang guy, but I'd definately take a Vette, esp a Z06!

fabman

I wouldn't mind a ZO6 either....but I could never be a typical "Vette guy."

Snooty doesn't fit my job discription.....

I would always be a mustang guy with a Vette....

fabman

The truth of it is, if I won a Corvette, I would just trade it in on a faster Mustang.....

2k7gtcs

I love Vettes, but I have too much non-grey hair to drive a ZO6.

LEO_06GT

Yup.

Tell me about it I was hoping to install them tomorrow. Yup I'll be entering the personalized class again.

I think this is targeted to the Amish folks I wonder if they have a Stage 3 version?

Quality work is hard to come by, all I can say is don't pay fully up front and do a complete inspection in daylight before you accept the job. Cover your butt because chances are the work is faulty somewhere. Also get your work order in writing and have conditional actions if things go wrong. I know that sound **** but trust me atleast it will make vendors think twice before they hand you sub par product.

What's the diffrence between Mod Class & Personal class? I don't know if I understand that, I understand stock and modified. Persoanl class what is that?

Theme I have a theme for you "hanging!"

Cool, this is one of the shows I'm looking forward to. Too bad my friend with the low numbered pj will probably be there

Bill, you have a lot more patience than me!!

At least its out of kevin's garage.

If you remove the creepy old snooty owners and get over the fact that it had a bowtie on it, it still is a fantastic car, and i still see one in my future.

habu

Corvettes are nice and the newer ones are probably the only ones I'd even consider besides a 64 split window. Still its a Chevy and if I'm gonna drop that lump of $$$ into a car I'd get a M3.

Ahem.

So anyone else get the email from 281Motorsports. It's an event done by Shelby people, but you don't hafta have a $helby or Ford...

Ray Man

Thanks for dinner again tonight Brian! Yum!

habu

funny, my dinner was great too AND I got to have some BJs Blonde to boot !!

karman

Hey, hey, hey...
I don't have the hair color, but I have the age.
I just can't bring myself to spend that much for a Chevy.

2k7gtcs

Every Chevy I've ever owned has bit me in the ***, especially with transmissions. But the Vette is just so sexy, why can't milfs drive Vettes instead of baby boomer, pony tail, sock in their drawers, divorced doctors and lawyers dating their receptionists and nurses. Of course this does not apply to everyone of them, especially you George, but they are the majority.

StangMahn

gm transmissions suck, a friend of mine has had to have 3 trannys put in his 2500

wasnt the split window 63?

buffguy

What do you guys think about this?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...3286.m14.l1318


I'm think about pulling the trigger on this. Looks like a good price compare to the $2000 one people are selling. And this one is pre program so you don't get any errors.

2k7gtcs

Yeah. '63 one and only year. The irony is many at the time hated it and removed it for the '64 full window.

Ray Man

I've got one more care package left. Please thank your dad, they were perfect portions.

Rich, I think that is the unit that most of the So. Cal. guys have installed, but I will let them chime in.
