Their behavior was a cry for help or an indication that something in their family was bad wrong. Can't save some, definately can't save em all. The parents should be shot next. A ten year old can hardly be totally accountable for their decisions Glad they chose their selfs rather than you Doc, or the general public. Probably saved society a lot of money over the long haul........

Nice rack Mike!! Been playin something or other since 1970. But mostly the bass. Thats the only instrument that I have played professionally. Played in many a rock band, even fronted one for three years. Left playing, recording, and sound engineering to go back to the real world in 2002. Now I work for the man! I have played with some mean drummers. The drummer is key to a successful rock band. The saying was passed to me in Seattle after a audition by one of the members of Mother Love Bone. Goes like this........A mediocre drummer can make an awesome band sound mediocre. An awesome drummer can make a mediocre band sound awesome. We agreed,fired our mediocre drummer and hired one of the best drummers I have ever played with. We took off. It was like we had been push starting a car and it finally fired up. Nice kit man...

Took me two weeks of talking to the previous owner. He kept babbling about how he had been storing it for seven years in preparation for it's restoration. Would not let it go! I finally said "you want to sell it or not"? He made me promise that I would do a full, ground up restoration. New everything and he wanted progress pics along the way. It was his baby and he wanted it to go to a good home kinda stuff. Really strange actually. I made the promise, gave him $500 cause he would never spit out a number. I think he was planning on giving it to me but hell....he wouldn't quit yacking about the good ol days and stuff. Got the title. Then broke the news. "Wadda ya mean stuff a V8 in it"!? He said! He never made me promise to keep the engine a six!! The rest of the promise I have kept..... so far......

Any one try Team III Wheels yet? Love the look and the custom dimensions. Wheels are last for me. Sometime in the late spring. Any guinea pigs? -

I have to utilize several engineering programs and data bases to accomplish a fast paced "on the floor" work invironment. The demand is usually pretty tough most of the time.Lets say I really earn my money. But when I have to switch bettween these data bases or run engineering bill of material reconciliations, some of the remote servers take 2 to 3 minutes to give me the data. Thats when the HybridZ multitasking takes place. I slide the window over, refreash and read in a reduced window untill I see my work information request pop up. Needles to say I never have to look like Im day dreaming. Always pecking away or studying the screen. Some times learning, sometimes earning! -
Maybe this gent should consider paying us to put it out of it's misery. I can certainly see why he want it gone. At least the floor pans have "had some work" done to them.

You silly man. The house is called a "mother in law" house. No mother in law inside! I'll change it to...put a match to er...... There hows that?
-
Odd. I was getting ready to chime in with a smarta$$ comment about taking a match to er. The ranch that I bought has an awesome 3000 sg ft home on it. But it also has a "mother in law" two bedroom home about a hundred yards away that is in similar shape to your situation. Shes getting the match when the february snow flies! Good luck man.

Good job BrandonsZ...good job. Ive had a handful, one very close, friends fall hard on that crap. Fast too. Within two weeks it consumed them. One made it out, but like you said, by himself after he lied his self into a corner and had no one else to lie to. The rest never made it. I got one call, then another, and another untill they were gone.

Kinetic. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Potential but static. Edit: Like donation monies at rest of our pockets. -
Ford SB into 240/260/280 or into 280ZX swap FAQ?

Day before yesterday my chrome oil pan arrived that had been on back order for some time. As a matter of fact, when it arrived I wasn't shure what it was untill I opened it. As the Misses says " you can tell whats in the box by looking at it"! I get alot of boxes! Any how, the drain plug on this one is on the side verses the stock one that is on the front. The oil pans do change according to what car they come out of. The engineers would design the car considering the block but often not the pan. So far I see no reason to mod my Alsil crossmember. Havent shut the hood (bonnet) yet though! But the Air Gap Edelbrock RPM manifold is right about the height of the stock one so shouldn't be a problem. We will find out shortly. -
Well the glass etching that I did a few years back ivolved covering the glass object with a vinyl tape. Draw an image on the tape. With an exacto blade, cut out the design, exposing the glass only in the design area. Then you take it to the sand blaster and (as if you were painting) waft over the exposed area lightly. The blaster would scuff the exposed area frosting it. When one pulled off the rest of the protective tape, you would have your design etched in the glass. Got blaster?

I thought Johns comments were on the money. To generate a wide variety of "data" will allow one to chose a set up to match the aplication. As Hybrid77Z (Butt Clown) stated that he was looking for fuel economy. Would not one look for the setup that had the least drag coeffient? Or some thing close to that? If one was looking for increased rear down force, look for the product that gave thoes numbers? Sounds simple to me. I guess Theologians would rather run thier mouths than to search for the truth. Good job John. Press on................. -
How does that work? Could it be adapted for glass etching?

Thanks all. Delta? I wonder if they are still set up here in Amarillo? Seems like they pulled out. Good idea however. I'll check with the other airlines for shipping. Going to do some major shopping. Im glad the wife called me about it. She almost sent it!! Oh by the way I looked at the invoice. $614.00 total!!!! Oh no..... http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=735

The pans do differ in the late model years. There is even a rear sump version. I dont have the data in front of me but in passing I have read about it. The oil drain location is another item that tends to wander about from year to year. Im putting my cash on the oil pan configuration as the driver. I would like to see some motor mount comparisons as a seconday factor. My first test fit presented no issues with clearance. But when I put the new chrome pan on maybe so. The block dimensions have remained scary consistant through out the years so I would reasearch in the above two areas.
