We have a ton of the red and blue fragola fittings left over. I'm thinking for my engine cooler and trans cooler lines just running regular braided hose versus PTFE. Then take these fittings and soak them with easy off of and cleaner to remove the anodized. Then paint them flat black. Save a few...

We are very close. Probably a hard week for both of us so another 100 hours maybe. Although that is now getting spread out among other things. Need to do an order from Fragola for my PTFE line fittings. Brake lines need made. Airbag lines need run and hooked up. There is still some wiring to...

Sick!!

Latest project. I am running out of Fab work on this truck.

Well after 5 years got to take it for its first real drive home tonight. 22 miles from the shop to my house. Awesome is an understatement. So effortless with that much torque and a light car. With the old style halibrand 15" wheels and only a 235 BFG wide rear tire at 55 mph and shifting from...

At the rear wheels 341 horsepower and 367 ft lb of torque. Our mustang Dyno is very stingy on numbers. We have run a lot of cars on this Dyno over the years and I can tell you that is a lot of power and torque for a 3000 lb car. Should be an absolute blast. Going to drive her home tonight I think.

Wow...... This was such an important election. So much was at stake. So now I'm wondering what kind of crap can this administration can pull before Trump is sworn in? Did I hear somewhere that he can actually pardon hunter?

flat black paint

Well we just got a call from Firestone and the new tires are installed. So their stock price is going to go down now.

Repop replacement mirrors for this truck. Suckers were expensive but this will give me the look that I want. Need to try glass bead the Chrome on these and paint them. That might be fun.

Squared everything up with some string this morning. And then set the rear and front toe in. It is all within a 16th of an inch and then the alignment guys can take it from there. I have no idea what we're going to do on camber for this truck. I was thinking about having the alignment done...

Very entertaining. Saw the group of two wheelers on FB. Been in some groups like that in the desert. Pretty wild when you brail ride over the rocks. Miss a two wheeler in the dunes. Plushy ride no matter how rough it gets.

While we are dealing with tires I got in writing from carvana a 5-day extension on our 7-Day return period. Pretty cool

Cool a100 history at the 5:13 mark.

They are so fun. 2.0 boosted motor is like a 2 stroke when it hits the power band. Tiptronic paddle shifted 6 speed auto with wet clutches inside.

Well, Things are better this morning. Got to do a full inspection of the car and it is really nice. Car came from Maryland but only has 34000 miles on it. (Been in Cali for two years) As expected some light rust on the fasteners without good coatings but I don't see any concerns. Only a little...
