How far do you want to drive? I can do 400 miles in a day. This time of the year any destination in the mountains the weather needs to be checked to avoid snow. Show Low has gotten snow storms as early as Halloween and as late as May (lived up there for 20 years).
I could possibly go the weekend of 20th, but after that not until 11/17. The car needs washed, but the tank is full.
Well i have a tow strap and as long as someone can tow me if my garbage 2200.00 transmission SH*ts the bed i will drive wherever. Im picking up my trans prob tomorrow. But might not have it in that soon.
Did anyone else make it out to Central ? I didn't see any one,I was there from 1 till 5. It was a beautiful day for a cruise,left a few marks for the spectators :devil:
I saw Rick leave a little rubber near Central & Thomas !!! Lot more people always at the October cruise versus the one in April. Overall it was a good time.
Rich, seriously quit screwing around with that slushbox 4L60e buy my 80. Or find a T56 to trade me.
I've still got the pizza-cutters and ET Streets on, and have a bit of a vibe problem above 65 (which I'm pretty sure is the rear), but I'm pretty sure I am fairly wide open for the rest of the year after this weekend. For the Phoenix guys, I think a Tortilla Flat run would be cool, and the restaurant up there is pretty good. I also think a run up to Prescott or Payson would be pretty fun, but Havasu might be pushing it for a day trip. Tombstone/Bisbee would be a good one, too.
I couldn't make the cruise this past weekend on account of the twins. I'm seriously considering putting the seat belts back in in the back so I can put the car seats in and bring them along.
Ive been trying to get a price from ya for the 80, i just dropped 775 on a built th400, im done with the 60. just gotta swap it now. I put the magnetic reluctor on it now i just need to get the speed sensor so i can keep my cruise control and electric speedo..
Get me a price on yours and i might sell my 400 and 4l60 and buy yours...
Also, i always rock 2 baby seats in my back seat...
Looks like firebird is staying they just what chuck out, he owns the name so the name and manager will change. Speedworld is working out the permit issues and should be fine.
That's good to hear. Though I've admittedly only been to speedworld once, and that was for a Pontiac show. And I'm pretty sure SIR is closer to me, haha.
From what I've read on a boating site, the only thing "out" at Firebird is Charlie Allen, the leaseholder for the dragstip, lake and offroad track. Bob Bondurant has his own lease for the road course. Word is NHRA will run the dragstrip and Lucas OIl will run the lake and offroad track. The Lucas deal is for 7 years and the NHRA deal is believed to also be for 7 years. This comes from the race director of a circle boat racing organization.
Well my Hooptie is back on the road, I put a TH400 in place of the hunk of junk 4L60E.
Funny i installed it and it shifted weird, no reverse, wouldnt hold gears and had a whine in first...
This is a rebuild trans....
The trans shop took my car and fixed it and made it right as rain. The builder of this trans was let go. there was 4 different things internally installed wrong.
So im beating the streets and with these 2.56 gears im ready for a nova Cruise.
Hoping to be done with my floor pan clean-up slash fatmat install this weekend, so I'd be game. I'll be leaving some room around the trans tunnel and wheel tubs for a future project or two.
My buddy powdercoated the seat belt drop brackets, though he won't be able to get them to me until Monday, so I'll be without seat belts until then.
12-1 & 2 -- my work week-end -- can't make that one. but you guys keep me in th' loop for other times because I sure would like to meet all of you down the road.
