Tom Grove.... whoever that is. He is the one pictured in the avatar.....
Every single one. Met most of them except Ronnie Sox. Went, some time ago, to Venolia Pistons in LBC and met Papa Joe Pisano and Mike Dunn(Who was a machinist at the time). Also met and talked to many many times Old man Reath, can't remember the first name, who was part of the Reath & Dunn Funny cars (Jim Dunn, Mike's Dad). I grew up around drag racing and at one time was '' this close to getting a crew job on Joe Amato's TF car, in the 90's... didn't want to leave the steady job I had and I've kicked myself in the butt ever since(especially since they laid me off in 2006). I should have jumped on that while I had the chance. Feces Occurs
Ok not on a complete tangent... but Pics=good
I took a bunch all the time and had shoe boxes filled with them... I have no idea where they went. Mom & Dad could still have the ?????

Today was the day I got stuck at work. I did go to Costco & Sam's and I checked out two new roll aways. This thing is massive. I don't like the color and the drawer arrangment... $949.00
I saw a stanless version at Sam's Club look pretty good and only $700.00 bones...
I like that Craftsman but it's over priced even on sale...$1,100.00 Gee!
Hummmm

Vortech update...
Mornin' all! 
Latest pics from the install garage...
Blower is the only thing that will get removed and bolts Loctited, then re-installed.
Only cosmetic complaint is the stupid Meziere cap, that when installed, the letters aren't straight.. it's off at an angle. Oh well, better than seeing a cheap Stant cap.
I did too good of a polishing job on the Cantons, now my blower looks dull!
I can start seeing light at the end of the tunnel!

good morrning guys!
So you're a pilot huh.....That explains a lot
Nice copy and paste
Looking good! I cant wait for a ride in the "tacomobile"
You should use those blankets as seat covers
I know you guys know about the spark plug issues on the 3v mod motors, apparently ford has changed the heads! read about it here..http://www.modularfords.com/forums/s...d.php?t=106090
Here's a pic of the new plug..new one is on top

New fuel line ready to go!
The stock plastic fuel hose is a POS for tapping. I'm not sure how long a 'T-tap' would've survived without it eventually failing and spewing fuel into the engine bay (courtesy of my Boost-A-Pump).
Factory ends have been cut off the OEM line and welded onto the new steel braided line. AN fittings all around, including the NPT block where the fuel pressure sending unit will thread into.
This is the line that goes from the fuel rail to the fuel line (from the tank).

It's to cool the engine, right? At least that's what I remember Strat telling us in Engines 'B'.
For Stratamier..
Might even get to pilot it!
That would be funny on a photoshoot! I could pick up some props while I'm down in Mexico.
New heads? Figures. 
I know my miles are low, but Hector had zero issues backing out my plugs.
(Don't say it!!!)

That blower's geting closer...Bill, I'm going out on a limb here, Im thinking that the fiesta fender covers are better than the pocohontas ones...
I do believe it was a pic of yours, sig credit coming...It's an awesome picture! I used it as my desktop for a while. It got replaced by a picture of Valentino Rossi knee draggin'
Plastic fuel lines suck, stainless steel brake lines are a lot better as well.

gee, why is everyone waiting to post
fuel lines look awesome Bill. As does the rest of the car. I really can't wait to see it in action. When do you plan on getting wheels/tires ??

And, if I grill up some Carne Asada tacos served with ice cold Dos Equis XX beer, I'm sure to woo the crowd!
Nevah!
Long live Pocohantas!!
That fender cover/towel has graced man Stangs in the Taco garage.

If I forgo a week long vacation this Summer, I can have them as early as May.
Hawaii or wheels?..... Wahines or tires??...
