Back from Estonia... boy did that trip suck. Worked between 13-15 hrs every day and we still just ran out of time to get the engine rebuilt in time. They delayed the ship for 2 days and left today. I left there on Sunday because there was not enough work left to keep 3 guys busy so I opted to come home a see the kid. I'm glad to be home.

I'll post some pics ater when I get my laptop fired up I'll post a few from there.

The flights sucked. I never want to fly that long again. Comming home was bad but better than the trip there. My flight into London was late and I missed the flight home to Philly. I found out why the tickets were so cheap then... they were all booked by the customer thru their travel agent. They bought individual flights instead of a "thru" ticket. That meant that the ticket I had for teh missed flight was only good to use with the exact same flight tomorrow and it was already full... So I bought a buisness class flight to Newark NJ for $480 pounds, which is just under $1000 in USD.

Anyway I am home and now I can try to get back to work on the car. Hopefully I can get a sound clip or vid up for you in the near future.

 

COOL!!!!!


Wait until you see the work Pampered-z and I did on your engiee while you were gone. We're thinking about another 30 hp at the front wheels!!! The red was hard to remove so we just sprayed painted over it. Hope you don't mind.







They sure look faster now.

Not sure of the gain on the tranny, you'll need to bench race that yourself and let us know. I tell ya, one thing... my finger is sore as all hell from pressing down on the paint can nozzle. And good thing your back, cause we were running out of stuff to spray paint. Glad to help ya out...

haha, too bad the first pic isnt even a Chevy Now I know your full of it, hehe

I put gas in it last night and put the RED hood back on so I know its still RED under there

 

Well we tried! We're just trying to help you out! I was gona bring over a bunch of cool NOS stickers to help you out too.

BTW, nothing much happened while you were away, well other then I'm pulling my motor cause the rods are a knocking! Finally won a round scored me 10 hole points, and I'm done!

 

Brian, welcome back. Without the monitor I went really amuck. A new GT followed me home last week. Yes a Firebird and a Mustang sleeping together. I'm looking forward to the next F-body vs Mustang shootout. See what happens when you go away.

 

Is that legal in Pennsylvania???

 

Brian's 96' Red Z:
LT4 355, 263/270 .686"/.674" 112 SR
Eagle crank, 6"rods, TFS 220cc heads by TEA, LT4 intake, CPT 4L60E
It will be done in 2 weeks

Then you'll be at the F-Body Nats at Island on Sunday Aug 12. FYI they plan to run Mustangs vs F-body that Friday night Aug 10th.




Is that legal in Pennsylvania???
Ron, its legal they are both my girls.

 

I hope so, since I have 1 of each too...

Oh yeah, Welcome back Brian...

 

Anyway... I guess I have to put my black spray paint away and also shut-up about the mustangs.


Hey Mod-Father, John and I attempted to do the Line Locks last night. You by chance have a brake line stretcher???? Seems like the short line in the kit is for an LS1.

 

B,
Gee, glad to hear you're back. So, um...When you got a free Saturday or Sunday coming up??? Still gotta drop the motor in "Project Purple".
