Where you find that pic? Looks like Leo riding shotgun!

TRD_Taco has seen better days, but doesn't look too shabby for a 8 year old truck.



That was taken at the Hamsters pad prior to the DS install. I was taken by an undercover agent.

Will do. I had to contain my excitement when i was there looking at the car. For that split second all the labor cost and all the issues seemed small. I'll pay whatever right now, I just want the car in my hands again!

I'm in too, I'll supply the hardware I get a chance to use my new James bond gun, a Walther P99




I'll go to, it sucks that its on sunday, it makes for a long day
Hey maybe this summer we can put that "Nina" to work. Seems a waste just sitting there in it's case. FYI my dad was a gunsmith but I know he did not work on anything like they have today. I'm partial to the HK bull pup design.

Do you feel lucky? Beatch

This is me at my "gun range" also known as a huge crop of land, and a target board in the distance, the second one is a buddy of mine

Nice pics David! What kind of handgun is that? Can't make it out from the pic.

It's actually a Jeep outdoors multitool set. Goes with the Grand Cherokee. I needed a good knife, mom found it for this past christmas, pretty cool, and it's got a mega bright led light on the back
the gun is a M1911 Mil Spec by Springfield Armory .45, a 30.06, there were a few shotguns, and a ak-47 for some fun

Kewl. on your car that thing will flat out hook. Goin with the M&Hs or MTs ?? Bet that turns out to be one of your best investments. Line locks next... ??

I've got a bit to go and right now in order is...
Gauges (Wideband....blah, SOS, blah, blah)
A new belt or two, hafta order from Whipple
A new belt tensioner(franken-tensioner).. from ST
Helmet
Fire jacket (if needed)
Then Drag Radials

Hell if I wasn't spending money on my car people would think there was something wrong....

I'm in fer the booze, if we get a driver or keep it very low-key. BE not so much. I'm broke-as-a-joke right now and this weekend is an off-pay weekend. BE is a money magnet like the car, but at least I can go home with the car

For me I have to work both days probably afternoon to night. I may go to PowerHeads on Saturday morning if they are open. Sunday during the day Edelbrock. No BE for me I'm broke as well, few brews then off to work!

Are you guys coming in as a convoy tomorrow? I'm busier than a working Jed trying to get all the last minute things done for Marianne's service.
Just keep in mind that school lets out at 2:45 so there will be a traffic jam at that time. But it's a small school so it shouldn't last long. Enter in the entrance off of Michillinda and follow the signs.

Doing the math on Power Heads, going with the 4.7 Modular Stage 2 (750 hp), Aluminum block, ARP main studs, plus tax, you're looking at $4918 (if you go pick it up, otherwise add shipping)... that's Livernois territory.. just saying.

Edlebrock! Should be fun!!

Hey, if anyone is broke azz here, it's me. I was just kidding about the BE with Leo. Although after the smoke clears, I'm in!

I say let's just stick to booze. BE tends to get a bit expensive.

Leaning towards M&H's right now. Went reading at modfords and s197 forums and it looks to be the clear cut favorite. Looking at the 275/50/17's with a set of bullit takeoffs. Now it's just a matter of finding the best price.

For now no line locks.

Yes and No. Only reason I'm getting the drag radials is because I miss the track and can't see myself ever going back unless I get these. So I won't be the fastest car but atleast I'll finally see what this things got when it hooks. Plus I really want a 12 second time slip.

BTW-I'll be taking the car to Barona (real drag strip) not the ricer track at qualcomm. Although I might go back to take vengenance on all those imports that did me in the last couple times I went.

She looks better in that pic. At the show her face looked like a coffee cake.
