Figures. It pisses me off when people put an ad up then won't answer anyone.

It seems like that's almost anyone now.. I hate dealing with craigslist people for that reason.

Capn you got a PM. I got ahold of that guy.

Get back to me so we can get this going so I can get closer to getting the car back to looking at least semi good. LOL

Did I miss something whats Capt buying

He's helping me out by picking up a wheel that is local to him.

Ohhhhhhhhh

I had a nice easy GTP A/C blastin driving day, love it when school is out traffic-wise. Shot urethane primer on my roof rails the other day. I should sand them now, lol

There was a herd of shiny Broncos in front of the shop this afternoon. Yeah I did some part of all three of those bastards.



Also been having an enjoyable work task of late. Don't get me wrong life sucks but fixing old cars is my bag, dig? Traditional bed mods to a '41 Ford Pickup: capping rails n gate, hidden latches, smoothed welds and corner seams, roll pan with frenched teardrops and tag plus corner exhaust outlets. Wicked fun, man. Not without blood and burns, mind you.

I dig, dog.

Well, finally getting the deal worked on the wheel. I wonder if Clay will find a way to break it before it gets to me.

You underestimate the capts ability to break things

I'll try not to crack it too bad

Normal drive to work and back, got a clip for the bad drivers videos as always. Also today at work I saw a huge wall of clouds approaching, looked really odd, and got way more scary as it came closer. Lots of the color green. I will get pics up in a different thread maybe.

Also for the first time in a while, floored it passing some guy driving slow and with smokey oil burning exhaust. I don't get it. How can a car that can take off throwing you in your seat at 0-35 mph be so slow at 55+? I was going like 25 mph and floored it passing. It was raining lightly but the roads were wet from previous heavier rain. Really grips the road well though.

^^^gearing. At those speeds with my GTP if I don't manually downshift to 2nd, it's pitiful. Most of the tunes you get fix that problem (or so I hear), the PCM only downshifts to 3rd, not 2nd.

That's what I was thinking about the gearing these cars have, although on the freeway mine will go into 2nd even at speeds like 65 I think.

Ever since the one time she let me down one time by not downshifting, I don't even try. The one time I'm talking about was when a Mitu****si Dynamite (or whatever they're called) decided to try and race me. I gunned it and it down shifted to 3rd instead of second and fell flat on it's face. Only race I've lost, lol. Stupid PCM.

Any tips on replacing a drivers side axle? I'll be doing mine tomorrow.
