[DHONDAGOD]

... I dropped a cylinder in my 2f ...

Time for some cypherin' sir ...

I'm good at cypherin'.

Droppin' a cylinder outta your 6-cylinder FOR-in motor represents a 16.67% loss of power.

Now if'n you had yourself a gen-u-ine, American-made, 8-cylinder, small-block Chevy powerplant and dropped a cylinder ... you'd only be lookin' at a 12.5% reduction of power.

Yet another reason I just ain't much on that FOR-in stuff.

Got 24k miles on that hand lapped valve now with no further issues. White Trash machining at its finest.

Git 'er done.

This from a man driving two vehicles that were made in Mexico by workers that couldn't get across the river and get a good job.

 

[KOWBOY]

So I reckon my trucks was built by non-swimmers.

If you're game to drive and the 40 ain't ready, just swing by my place and you can pick up both me and my 40.

I usually drive down Tuesday evenin' and sleep in the truck at the turnoff to the park ... so that I'm the first one in the gate on Wednesday mornin'.

Reckon I'll do the same this year.

You can even sleep in the Paris Hilton. I'll be there for the first Shiner of the Week with ya.

That sir is an offer I cannot refuse.

I'm actu'lly a diamond-level priority member with the Hilton hotel chain ... you need my member number for a reservation?

 

[M-80]

I have to work--I tried for vacation but it was a no go.

 

[Domek]

So when is the official day that they open?

Some how I was under the impression that the first day would be Thursday March 15th.

Plans are to take off Wednesday nite and be there early Thursday morning

 

[KOWBOY]

Them plans'll work just fine JP.

The park opens on Wednesday just for settin' up camp and drinkin' ... ain't no wheelin' allowed.

The wheelin' ... and more drinkin' ... starts on Thursday.

 

[Domek]

Guess I am Ok then!

already signed up sending and fees today.

My cruisers don't look in good shape. I am referring to my 40's.

I started with the Buggie project and it's going kind of slow. started building a cage for it, but time does not permit doing much. I know now the engine works. It needs a carb rebuilding kit. which it's on the works already.

part of the body was cut out , well more like the swiss cheese panels.

I wanted to do a SOA & a Power steering conversion but seroiusly, I doubt I have time for all of that. I just want to finish the cage put the seats and gas tank back. get it running slap the 35's or 37's and be done with it for round up.

Oh I am also waiting for a hood and Bib. I want to make that puppie look a little nicer.

Need a paint job too.

I wonder what color could that cruiser be painted?

Right now it's camoflage but it really doesn't do it for me.

any Suggestions?

The other 40 w/ a V8 needs to be fix from an oil leak and build a better t-case carrier then AA plate cross member.

If buggie not done I will have to take the other.

keep you posted!

I've always been fond of OD Green myself.

Good luck gettin' one of them rigs runnin'.

Just a nice picture of Paris will do!

 

[KOWBOY]

Shoot me an e-mail addy sir and I can sure take care of that.

I'll just pull one or two outta my rather extensive "art" collection.
