Anybody on the west side of the state want to hang out???

I am bored, anybody want to do something? I am about an hour west of Grand Rapids. I can drive somewhere, but don't really want to go much further than an hour. We can snowboard, work on cars, anything, I just need to get out of the house. Let me know!

Call my cell if you want to hang out. 231-557-5119

I'm going to mop the floor in the garage today--- I got me a new mop and a new bucket, and I'm going to wash off that salt and dirt that's on the floor.

It's a little short notice, but perhaps sometime in the future I might have another garage weekend. I need to finish painting the walls, put up a railing & bannister, add a door, then put up the decorations: It's getting decorated in car motif.

I'm planning on having another Modfest this year so plan something you can reasonably do in one day. We'll marathon on two cars while playing the radio, eating pizza, and racing slot cars upstairs. It we do it over two days, we could even do four or more cars.

Some potential projects might include(pick one):
Header & cat-back install
Torque Converter swap
Rear axle swap
Subframe connector installation
1LE / Corvette brake upgrade
Port & powdercoat a 1LE intake

This will be the 5th LT1 I have helped remove. Mine 3 times, Timberwolfs old Camaro, and now Rick Camaro. I'm getting pretty good at this.

Yup, that was the 4th LT1 I've pulled. dreamers 3 times and Ricks yesterday. You shoulda dropped by notstock! It was ice *** cold in teh garage. Like I was telling dreamer while we were under the car smoking cigarettes, those sissys in Florida aint got nothing on us northerners. They pull a motor and its all nice out and complain about how its so much work. Tell them sissies to do it in michigan when its 15 damn degrees! We had a laugh.

Anyway, we'll be doing 3 more cars before summer.

Heh, yeah, been there, done that!

I got grade 3 osteoarthritis in both of my knees so I invested in a FURNACE for my garage! While you were out there with the blood freezing on your skinned knuckles, I was listening to the radio, lesiurely applying paint on the ceiling of my garage in nice warm 68 degrees....

BTW, I have a 35000 btu propane salamander heater here next time you guys need some temporary heat--- Feel free to borrow it. Just be sure to take a break once and a while to clear the carbon monoxide from your head.

Hell, I have a full size modular home heater in my winter garage storage. But this wasnt in my garage. All I know is next time, more heaters are required
