Thanks guys. I thought they were pretty damn good looking, myself!
minor setbacks to getting the pig and swb done on time for the next events.
Gonna relive your old rx7 days? Or did you figure your recent speed itch is better scratched in something other than a 40 series land cruiser? 
yes. I've decided a 50 year old farm implement didn't need 500hp, but I did. I went looking for places to put my spare LS and found RX7 swaps. Then I found a twin to the one I had except with no engine and with the V8 kit installed. For $400.
They say low to sub 10 seconds with 500 hp and a 4L80e and the v8 ones will out autocross the rotary powered ones.
The pig is still getting a stock LQ4, but with fresh everything and aluminum heads. The SWB is getting a fresh 6.2L with a bump in compression and aluminum heads. The RX7 is getting a 388 cid with a big cam and ported aluminum heads and other stuff. Possibly a 427 if I decide it needs a stroker crank.
I got so excited I messed up my spanking wrist and needed surgery on Thursday. But they had the technology. They made it stronger, faster, better.

Sexy!
Is that your new 60 in your avatar? Will this one keep the 40 company in the back of the barn?
And that is why i like to switch hands and get good with both... You never know when lefty will be called into action, i spend a lot of times on planes traveling and who knows we may crash in the woods and ill be stuck out there for 12hrs+ with an injured right hand, lefty to the rescue!
The "drunk sister", yes Todd will get to know it well. Then when it gets to feel all normal and familiar he will be healed and can switch back, and it will feel new and exciting all over again. You lucky man.

Got the rest of my stuff. That cross member & skid plate is dead sexy. Totally ready to bust ass & get this done.
If anyone has week days off & wants to help, get with me & we can compare days available.
I WANNA DRIVE IT SO BAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!
ok, I'm taking deep breaths now...Hmmm might call Todd & breathe deep to him, it may help if he's having trouble pullin a lefty.
I personally pull left all the time. That's why I had my right arm surgery & not my left.

Awesome Tony, I love parts day. And hate hiding parts porn in/under the truck!
Have you played with the bender? What does your list of work to do look like?

I know about having parts.
starting to get a little panicky.
Balancing pistons and rods today so I can get a bob weight figure to balance the cranks. Im going to send those out. I don't think we can get it done here.
