Ok so. Because Six shooter wants to be a ****ing retard, i'm done with the forum.

Those who don't have my number, can get ahold of me through Ducky.

I'm OUT!

 

 

did i miss something ? jeesh i leave the thread for 2 days.... anyway im guessing the offensive post was deleted because i cant find anything bashing another member. hate to see ya go mate :/

anyway it was nice meeting you joe and ill have to post some pictures over the coming weeks with the seats and stuff in the car as we get it together. the bird will live by the end of this month

 

Lol, my car had working A/C for like 6 months out of the 6 years I've owned it.
Will posted in the V6 section looking for a mini-starter for his car. He wanted actual knowledge not just some speculation and outlined it in his post. Then Six_Shooter locks the thread essentially saying its pointless.

 

it was nice meeting you too Edward. i'm looking forward to some pics.

glad to hear the A/C is working! thats always good in the summer.

i hate how silly comments get deleted. i always heard theres no stupid questions.

 

ahh ok.

 

So, I'm gonna be putting the old girl up on Craigslist this week. Just looking to see if I can trade it off for a Datsun 240. I miss mine and would like another. I don't expect anybody to want to trade, but I figured I'd try.

 

that's total crazy talk...

 

I wish I had sold the Camaro instead of my Z and fixed it. The Z is just a better car.

 

Now that's Baker Act talk....step away from the Datsun...

 

Lol, I even considered selling off the ole turd to fund the Merc's new drivetrain.

 

So much has happened since I last came here.

I have a kegerator for sale if anyone is interested.

Ft. Desoto would be cool again, I will try and check into it. Maybe October so it isn't hot and miserable out.

 

I want to have one meet soon-ish if we can all work it out since my car is almost done and I will be leaving Florida around July.

 

i agree on the meet even if my car isnt ready ill bring my mkz and my bird will be there in spirit it would be awesome to meet you all

 

If you guys want to do one soon, how about June 27th?

 

I should be good. The car can make that run now.

 

sounds good to me

 

And there it is.

ever hear old people say " i wish I never got rid of that car"?

 

Yup, I say it every time I see another Z on the road.

I don't actually expect any one to want it, its more of a feeler ad really just to see what somebody would offer in trade for it.

 

i'd trade my iroc for my old 71 chevelle in a heartbeat! i guess im getting old?

circa 1988?

 

yeah, me too. I had a 67 Camaro I had big dreams with at 16. That was way back when all the cars had BB and crazy paint graphics

 

Only "muscle car" I've had has been this Camaro.

 

I have a 69 fastback mustang. It needs complete restoration.

 

Sounds good for me.

 

What a pain cutting the carpet around the bars was. At least having the right tool to do it made it less aggravating, lol.
I wish there wasn't a noticeable cut down the middle, but at least it's staying down with some velcro.

 

i've got a 72 malibu up north. i put a 307 in it & gave it to my wife 23 years ago. been sitting in the same spot all this time. i should bring it back down someday.

the carpet looks good to me. all the plastics fit back in?

finally got around to pulling my tranny yesterday. ran into a strange problem. got it on the ground and i cant get the converter off. WTF? i knew the pump was bad, but dang. a tranny guy told me maybe the pump bushing melted to the converter? so in a bit, i'm gonna hang the tranny upside down from the converter, & use the trannys weight to force it out. looks like i'll be needing a converter now too?

 

that's where I cut mine too. mine looks little worse for the wear tho. I had to pull mine back up to chase some wiring issues. i used spray glue, and it doent really want to stick anymore, glue on glue. i think i might steal that Velcro idea.

 

can you roll it over and get behind it pry and rotate?

 

anyone run their timing locked out? i got a couple questions.

 

i rolled it over yesterday and used boards, then 2 shovel handles putting pressure while tapping it with a rubber mallet. it moved out about 1", but wont spin anymore. it spun easy when i was taking the converter bolts out. very strange.

 

the idea worked! but the converter has some minor gauling on the outside of the hub. might clean up? IDK, maybe i should save up for a good converter?

i wont be able to make that meet. gonna be running fireworks for a few weeks.

 

The motor with the new scoop on it


Finally got the motor mostly together out the scoop and the finishing touhes on it. And everything else to put her together should be here in a couple weeks

 

hey red neck joe that blue car you had was that a camaro or a t/a

 

the motors looking tight Edward. the air-gap and scoop make it look like a piece of art. give us a few details of the build.
yes, the blue car is an 84 camaro.

tore my pump out and disassembled it. broken gear inside & metal everywhere.
im gonna order a pump today or tonight.

 

Anybody selling a WC T5 swap? I'm willing to trade my mild 700R for the complete swap.

 

Car still for sale? Wouldn't think you would still be working on it if you plan to get rid of it.

I finally got the other aarm Bushings and ball joint replaced. Will hopefully be putting it all back together on sunday. Then all that is left is an alignment.

 

Its not really for sale, I have it on craigslist to see if somebody wants to trade something cool for it. I'm not pushing the issue. I was going to put a price on it, but decided against it. I really want a FJ60 Land Crusier but I figure I'll just go buy one and keep the Camaro.

 

Great to hear! Hopefully we can all make a meet in our cars this summer.

 

I kind of felt like selling or trading my Camaro on impulse yesterday when someone I know was selling a turbo Corvette for a good price, but I wouldn't really want to let the Camaro go. I think it's better to save up money and get more cars

 

That's my explanation as well. Might as well just have 4 cars then.

 

Finally, Ducky is talking normal again.
If/when you get to doin the swap, I can show up and drink your beer...or help. or both.

 

Lol, some guy offered me 2400 today, not even worth a response.

 

Prices aren't there yet. You'll never get what you put into it or what you think it is worth. Might as well keep it.

 

i agree, these cars will be worth more money down the road. i tested the waters 2 years ago. some guy wasted hours of my time then low-balled me. next day he called with a semi-reasonable offer. i told him where to go and that i decided to keep it.

made a decision not to put my transmission back in yet. i'm gonna do it right and get a new converter. i have a broke 10", a 12" with a gauled hub, and a stock converter. i dont want to run any of them. so,....i moved on to modifying the rear wheelwells. ive only cut apart the passenger side so far and picked up some sheet metal today to make patch panels. looks like i gained at least 2 inches inward. hoping to run wider & taller tires & rims in a few months. really want to get in on the street warz at showtime dragstrip soon. looks like theyre gonna do it every month now.

 

with a little bit of work you can get a 325 in there

 

can i ask what size tires, rims, & backspacing your running Loneroad?

 

Obligatory photos with new lens I bought.
