Krandall- Get crackin!! Nows a perfect time to do it!!
BAD BIRD- Its pretty cool! I havent decided if i want to paint it anything though. Any ideas??
So far i think maybe just paint the rims and then some white wall tires.
NO chopping of the roof either for sure!
Here's what I came up with cracker. 8)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, we're all just sitting around here waiting for a YouTube link...
Ohhhhhh....
Well look what the cat drug in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrcsKRRTVA8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrcsKRRTVA8)
For the record, it was probably Psycho, as my cat is much too lazy and also a fat pile of lose. When put in a cardboard box with a live mouse, there was no interaction whatsoever.
But that's beside the point. The point is:
Ohhhhhhh!!! :P
More progress this weekend.. got done what i was hoping to.
Picked up my new bumper from Mike (BAD BIRD) cant beat the price!! Thanks again!!
The next plan is to work on the box.. build the frame for the lower storage area and do some body work to it also.
I used a wire brush and a drill to scuff and clean off the frame.. Painted it with a brush wiith some "Chassis Saver" paint. Also cleaned the axle so that can get a fresh coat of paint later this summer.

Had an extra S in your link. Took me to a weird site.
Anywho, hells yeah! They got some crazy stuff there. That "thermochromic" paint sounds pretty sweet. Changes color with the temperature. Gonna have to find something to do with that... Maybe a fiberglass sub box in the Bimmer!
I'm pretty sure the "before pearls/after pearls" picture on their main page is a racing kart body, too!
Before:

Hillbilly les mixing the goods
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox007.jpg)
The side of the box ground down and ready for some bondo to fill the rust. (not the correct way, but its cheap and it works, so deal)
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox008.jpg)
The other side full of bondo and ready for a 2nd coat. Notice the roll pan being formed too!!
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox009.jpg)
Shot of the rear.. there is a little wiggle in the roll pan.. that will be fixed.
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox010.jpg)
Another of the roll pan, all the ground areas need some work.. a little bondo and smoothing and were set!
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox011.jpg)
Shot of the rear. The box it sitting upside down. Should look awesome! :batman:
this is the progress from after this weekend.
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox012.jpg)
This is after lots of hours of body work..
as you can see there is still spots of bondo that could use some smoothing.
The body work on the box was mainly done by my dad. He said hed do it. Sounds good to me! Hes more of a ninja than i am.
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox013.jpg)
Better shot of the rear. Notice there is no body likes or seams of any sort. All shaved. No tailgate handle either :)

(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truckbox015.jpg)
I added in some frame work for the lower part of the bed. This is the storage area. There will eventually be another floor above this so i can haul my mini bike.
All sanded and ready for primer though.
Well progress is being made.. still.. haha
The box is about 95% ready for the final coat of primer. The cab and front fenders are ground down and some bondo has been applied. Should start that more tomorrow. Also started stripping all the crappy paint off the hood to start over on it. It has some dents that need to be hammered out and smoothened. Things are looking good to having it painted by this upcoming Sunday.. as long as the paint shows up!! GaaHH!

My sweet grinder whitewalls. Rims are black pearl too! Added some chrome bug nuts too
I think the white running all the way back down that body line would have been sweet as well.. but it still turned out awesome!

Took it to its first show today in Elk River!! Turned heads!! AND i said goodbye with a sweet see ya later smokey burnout!! Truck was kinda sideways too.. oops! ::)

Some fun ive been having haha
Well more progress.. the train horn is installed, radiator over flow in in, put in the buttons and switches tonight for the air compressor and horn and b.o. sprayers haha
Also added in some black carpet! Looks pretty snazzy!!
hey pchop what year is that 302 in the truck???
its a 82 or 83 out of a ltd
Thanks pchop!
Well i got a few new additions to the motor now.. since the burnout contest.. the timing chain stretched and the water pump went out on me.. SOoo i picked up a new Edelbrock waterpump.. JEGS timing gear set.. some Ford Racing plug wires.. spark plugs.. and an oil change! Just got the new parts on it tonight.. started it up and the gears sound sweet! I got the noisy ones so it sounds like a supercharger! Just have a few minor adjustments and finish putting hoses and stuff on and i should be ready to roll!
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truck090.jpg)
My new JEGS noisy timing gear set!!
The old timing gears were old.. the chain stretched during the burnout contest so it wouldnt idle anymore.
These sound like a whining supercharger!! Haha
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truck092.jpg)
New Edelbrock waterpump that replaced the old one that fried in the burnout contest.
our engines are twins
this truck just got that much cooler :thumbs:
Was it spendy? I'm gonna have to do the water pump on that 302 when I get it. Could do the timing gears as well. That seems pretty sweet. Gotta hear 'em for myself.
Nicely done brother! :thumbs:
waterpump.. $160
timing gears.. $160
gaskets.. $30
plugs and wires..$60
misc bolts.. $7
total.. $417
the fun i get to have driving it.. $ priceless!!
You could get a stock waterpump for $35-40 ish tho and a regular timing gear and chain set for like $30, but this is way cooler!
:thumbs:
I love the noise of gear driven timing it looks a lot better now with the wires
:thumbs:
yeah the gears sound awesome! BUT!! pchop.. those are the old wires yet hahahaha.. i still have to put on the new ones.. they are brighter ford racing ones.. haha im gonna do all that tomorrow.. pics to follow of course! haha
So what's the difference between a "stock" one and the one you got? I'm guessing just by looking at it that it's aluminum instead of steel.
do you have a four barrel on that because i have a new holley 600cfm on my truck and its just too much for my engine
Yeah the only difference looks wise is its aluminum.. it says its supposed to help cooling too and has more flow.. but idk well see. seemed to do good on the porkys run tonight tho
tink- nah i just have a 2 barrel 600 holley on it.. i have a 4 barrel intake for it.. just need to get a carb if i can get one cheap enough. haha
yea i would rather have a 2 barrel rightnow i think because with my stock engine its suckin way too much air
hmmmm.. wanna trade?? haha

yea i would rather have a 2 barrel rightnow i think because with my stock engine its suckin way too much air

Yes! Got my NEW FORD RACING spark plugs today!! They look really nice! And work way better than my old ones :thumbs:

not bad for a white boy!! :D
next i wanna fget a green stripe around the rims.. and them some black and green on the hood! and then some black and green on the interior!! WAAhaOOOOOO! :clap:
Might as well convert the dang thing to E85 with all this "green" you got planned.
At least it ain't "yella", I guess, so that's good.
e85 is cool, maybe if i had a 500+ pony motor tho haha. idk where to get it around the nord parts too, would be cool tho! the green will be small stripes like whats on it now.. nothin too crazy
cant beleive he said yella :P
like i was sayin to farmboy he needs to get zippy pin striped on that courior of his
:thumbs:
and i might do just that

Sweet pics where were the last few pics at
Those were from a car show in Monticello.. long drive but it was worth it!
Thats sweet. How was the ride there and back rough
The ride was just as bumpy as ever, that front susp. needs some work. Also i had the points go bad bad.. so i almost didnt make it back haha. just gotta do some fine tuning and i should be set to roll again. Might need to to tie rod ands too.. and king pin dealios.. gettin some wierd rattles :S
Fun drive tho!
they sell electronics that converts points to a one wire set up like a chevy hei that use a stock points distributer. seen it on muscel car pretty sweet up-grade to make a reliable ride just an idea.
ry he said chevy :jaw: :clap:

Thems fightin werds in this parts.
i like 2 chevy parts under my hood, an hei distributor and a gm one wire alternator
one chevy one wire hei is over rated
whatever mike what do u know, and what engine is in that new FORD ur buildin.......trader :S
I HATE that :mad: engine now. I fought with the timing cover trying to put it back on. Who would of thought that you would darn near have to take the oil pan off to fit it back in place. I thought these sbc's were gods gift the the motorhead. At least on a sbf you just take for bolts out of the oil pan and thats it you dont even have to replace the water pump gaskets on a ford. What the heck?
just start over and put a 351 in it :thumbs:
It crossed my mind I was thinking Y block they sound sweet. Why did I ever cross breed ???
i bad mouthed my chevy and everybody elses for years ,, and with the breakdowns that im havin :'( good luck with your gm pilgrim :'( jusy kiddin good luck with the chevy and remember bowties are fer boys :clap:
lol.. someone mentioned a distributor i should get for my truck.. supposed to be a cheap upgrade using my distributor to get rid of the points? any help? idk this..
e bay, type in hei sbf distributor, they r like 40 bucks just do it and be done with it already, dont let minke tell u not to he dont know :thumbs:

yeah Its call pertronixs or how ever you spell it. Malllory also makes one its take place of the points. There pretty dependable. HEI's down fall is the you still have a ingition control module to deal on when they burn out. Mallory and pertronixs both just require 2 wires power and ground. I think the best way to go if you want electronic
yeaaaahh im thinkin of the 40 dolla upgrade.. ill look on eBay.. im thinkin to switch to i dont have to fiddle as much or at all. :thumbs: thanks much!
Yeah no problem I have sold a few through work never a complaint :thumbs:
ohh! i can get em at napa!? even better! in stock or order? ill have to swing in sometime soon :)
got something for ya

Yo pchop i was wondering if you had changed anything on the front end parts on the truck? i was gonna get the drag link? from the steering box to the whereever it goes.. gonna get ball joints and stuff, woo! :thumbs:
Had another guy comment on one of the burnout videos on YouTube today. Asking about how you lowered the whole truck. Sent him a link to this thread and said he could see all the pics he'd ever need. Hopefully it'll get a little more traffic for the site, too.
pretty sweet man i need some pic's like that before the old girl comes apart.....

WOO!
Hey Ry-deezy. Got a sale flyer at Harbor Freight the other day when I was there. Found a coupon for a 12v air compressor kit.
http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-100-psi-high-volume-air-compressor-96068.html
With the coupon it's $19.99. Figured it'd be a cheap alternative to the one you got on that air horn setup. All you'd have to do is cut off the cigarette adaptor and just wire it into the switch you got. Maybe mount it in the box and hook the air line up to the bulk tank in the back? Guessing it'd take a little bit to fill the thing up, but you'd have a longer blast from the train.
Let me know if interested.

oh jeez.... Hahahahahahaha here we go again!!
Well i got it put back together tonight. Started it. Time to tune tune tune! AND i still need to get my valve covers, HEI kit and new headers put on. Getting there!
Headers are put on.. need to put on a strap to hold the engine.. it shakes and moves too much, strap it to the frame.. should have that on tomorrow night. Need to fab up some exhaust to go from the headers to the side pipes.. sooo close!! AND im about to order a secret goodie surprise!!! Muahaha
Pics or GTFO!
Haha, ill get some pics when i get the things finished. Hopefuly soon!!
My new ProComp HEI distributor came in today too! The thing is HUGE! But looks kool, billet baby! Shiney. :) Waiting for my valve covers to get back from the mod shop too..
Should be fun when its all done!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :P
Got the distributor put in today, and my motor shake eliminator piece thing haha. Almost time to start it.. Oh wait.. i need a battery :mad: :help:
Picked up a battery and finished the exhaust today! Finally got a chance to start it... woo! Now needs some fine tuning and hook up the transmission link thing :D
Still waiting on my valve covers... hmmmmmmmm
I'm pretty pumped to ride in this thing in a couple weekends. Hope that air horn is operable by then. Looking forward to sending more weirdos running into the ditch. :rofl:
Ahahaha yeah im pumped too! Drove it a little.. RPMs are nuts!! Need some low end power.. little more tune tune.. then should be ready :thumbs:

brakes in da truck. You need to drive that sexy beast already!!!!
???
I'm confused. You quoted me saying something about riding with Ryan. But then said "brakes in the truck". I was assuming you meant Ryan's truck. Referencing the Dodge maybe? If so, brakes aren't the first thing on the list. Don't really need 'em when the tranny doesn't shift out of 2nd. :rofl: The BEAST needs some loving all over. Perhaps even some triple-bypass surgery.
Well i got it a little closer to running awesome tonight, I think i might need to downsize on the carb though.. probably a 600.. BUT! maybe im just bad at tuning haha. Still doesnt spin the tires.. i need some low end power.. once they spin it goes good!! I need to do burnouts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i put on my 2 barrel carb again.. used an adapter so i still have the 4 barrel intake. Runs a little better :clap: ALSO picked up 4 new 16" Dodge rims today.. brand new! With chrome beauty rings too! Nice! Now i have to paint them black.. and then get my tires mounted 8)
Rims sanded.. hopefully some paint tomorrow :thumbs: They look awesome on the truck!
Next is to tub the rear.. to fit these WiiiiiiDE tires ;) Hope to get that rolling tomorrow maybe.. and maybe round it up by Saturday night :thumbs: WOO!
Almost time for the madness to begin.......... >:D
Tubbing the truck now? Seriously? What happened to the Grandma GT?
now we can call it tubby with a tramp stamp :batman:
:rofl: :nod: :lol: :rofl: :nod: :lol: :rofl: :nod: :lol: :rofl: :nod: :lol:
Only fitting to be cruising around in Pine County.
Ha ha .... ha... funny!! NOT!
Well ya.. tubbin shouldnt take much work on this... pretty quick i hope! Grandma GT might be a next summer gig... well see though
Oh! Should have my tires mounted saturday morning too.. woo!!
So get some damn pictures up, eh? If you're tubbin' the truck I wanna see what's goin' down. Not all of us are lucky enough to live up there in the sticks, don't cha know.
Ha ha, i will get some pictures tomorrow of the rear wheel wells cut out.. and the painted rims... waiting to get my valve covers back to post a pic of the sweet engine!! i started cutting tonight but ran into bad weather.. half done.. 8)
Wadda ya mean bad weather? Thought you had a bad ass 3 stall shop to work in? ??? Even borrow some space to your dad every now and then because you've got so much of it! :rofl: :lol:
Haha i didnt wanna fling metal al over the floor so i was doing all the cutting outside :P

And after getting some goodies!
(http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww272/NCHKustoms/1964%20Ford%20F-100/truck.jpg)
Now i need to change the oil, spark plugs.. and so some minor welding and gusset adding.. probably repaint the side pipes and maybe attempt to repaint the engine blue again.. OH! and i need a radiator.. NNoOOO!ooO!!
Put the aluminum radiator in tonight.. and i have dual electric fans now too!! WOO!
How'd that thing fit in there? Decent?
Ohh yeah! Got about an inch on each side.. and i moved the radiator closer to the engine so the 2 fans have more room now.. easier to work with :thumbs:
pics or it didn't happen.
no pics haha, wasnt any melted anything, i was just kidding hhaa. i did put in a new thermostat.. thinking im in need of a 2 core radiator.. the single aint cuttin the cheese. runs at about 235F tooooo hot. Need to get that.. and some plug wires.. and make some gussets for the rear shocks before back to the 50s ahhh!
I thought you said that one was a 2-something or other... ???
no need for steeenkin gussets on that rear.. It was just the bottom of that bar that wasn't welded, so it just folded.
no that one is a single core. i thought it would work being aluminum and all.. but theres just not enough fluids in there! :help:
going to add some usset anyways, should take maybe 20 minutes to fab up somethin!
Put on my 100 $ oil filter today.. re-painted the engine ford blue and also repainted my pipes white :thumbs:
Eff. That sucks. Guessing you should be able to get the money back on the thing, tho.
$100 oil filter? Did you airbrush the damn thing?
Yeah i should be able to get rid of it... might be ok for a 6 cyl. car tho.. aka granada?? haha
and yep! airbrushed my oil filter! 100 $ bills baby! haha 8)
Got my new radiator, tranny cooler, and plug wires today.. wires are on.. the radiator is lookin like it might take a night or 2.. gotta rebuild the mounts... AGAIN! Hoping to have it done Sunday or Monday at the latest so i have time to 'fine' toon it :P

We're both thinking we'll go check out planes on Saturday morning. Probably won't be an all day long affair, tho. We'll see. Need a place to crash? Let me know. Maybe you could stay Saturday night and we could go together Sunday? Just throwing it out there. Be somebody.

Well i have my new motor all put together! its a 1989 ish Mustang 5.0 roller motor.. The old motor is out of the truck finally.. took off the oil pan.. metal chunks galore!! WOW!! And the oil pump shaft is spun like a pretzel!! No good! I need to find a pressure washer to use before i toss the new motor in.. and i also have a new torque converter to pick up tomorrow :thumbs:
ANNND My secret projects are coming along quite nicely!! Ill get some pics after its all put together..
On a bad note.. looked at the drive shaft.. after that flew out.. its pretty banged up.. and the yoke in the 3rd member may or may not be good.. ill need a closer look. But one of the clamps that hold the U-joint in place is ripped in half and the other is bent :mad:
All in all i was shooting to have it done by Saturday for the Oglivie tower show.. not lookin good. NEW goal is next wednessay or thursday!! WOO! :thumbs:
Keep your stick on the ice, brother. We're all in this together.
If'n ya need some help this weekend I might be able to lend a hand on Sunday? Will be up that direction on a mission to get some Crown Vic parts. Not sure how long that'll take but I could swing over after maybe. Depends what ya got going.
Whew.. gettin there.. today was pressure wash and repaint the engine bay.. wowza it was greasy!! Finally finished the secret painting i have been doing also!! Next on the list is to send back my bronze distributor gear after ordering the wrong one :mad: other than that i should be set to put it all together! Hoping to put the motor back in either tomorrow or tuesday.. then i still have time to work out some kinks before saturday. Then!! Project driveshaft!! :thumbs:

BSOD? Blue Screen Of Death? ??? ??? ??? ???
:batman: Tehehe
Whats BSOD????
ANNNNND Maybe someday i was thinking of upgrading HEI covers.. they make ones that are tinted clear/blue. Plain clear. OR Chrome. I was thinking the clear one would be coool. But I will probably wait until next year to do anything else. I think ive spent enough this time around :S
Got alot done today though!! Hopefully tomorrow i can finish up. And Thursday work out the bugs :thumbs:

Come on! :slap: You mean the guy who's doing the work doesn't even know?
Hint - you borrowed it from me... :thumbs:
OH! yaaaaaaa about that... there was a slight plan change. I decides not to go that route :( BUT no worries!! its still cool looking!
sooo....... what is this i hear about a strap on the way home?? ???
Yaaaa i didnt quite make it to HWY 95 :( the temp started to climb so i just shut it off.. rose to 215-220 sitting there so it got towed. Took off the intake and heads today to try and figure out what went wrong. The head gaskets seemed to be holding.. but we are thinking maybe the heads are bad? SO. What im gonna do now is take the heads off the motor that WAS in there and put them on and see what happens. Fingers crossed. I dont think ill jump on getting it together until mabe next week or so. Going to take a break and get some other 'smaller' projects done :P But keep your fingers crossed!!
ill keep them crossed for you. hope it works out. whats these smaller projects??? ???
Ohh smaller ones like the car show signs and then I did some motorcycle parts for a guy.. and then my secret projct haha. But ill have some pics up sometime soon I hope.
On another note! Trucks almost put back together.. heads and intakeand carb are on again.. should be able to est it tonight finally and hopefully make it to pc tomorrow!
Woot, Garage spot for the coronet!! :woot:
Speaking of Coronet. How 'bouts we swap donut for donut next time we're together with the cars? That way there won't be any "doubts" as to whether we did it or not. And hell, we could toss in a truck *ahem* in the background as well. Maybe do a little "Three Bros. Chaunce" dount party?
haha, before I do that, I'd have to modify the inside of the rear fenders to take the little lip out.. they rub w/ a little body roll already hahaha
Do it. :thumbs: And then jack the crap outta those air shocks! :rev: :rock:
I've already done my donut haha. There's already video proof :nod:
well you made another mag. classic custom truck page 46 top right, back to the 50's good job :thumbs:
Any chance you can take a picture of the magazine and post it on here? Don't think I'll be able to see it otherwise.

So the funny noise my truck is making.. its the guide plates for the pushrods. They are both rubbing. Eeep! Its not too bad though. Its running good enough to head to Frankensteiners! Woo! :clap:
Also.. No overdrive.. Sometime in late October or November, going back to have the tranny pressure tested to see whats up :)
Ah. guide plates makes sense...
Glad that's figured out at least. :)
Bear with me...Since the guide plates don't move, I assume you mean something is rubbing on the guide plates. It had better be the pushrods! The pushrods need to be hardened pushrods. Stock pushrods won't live with guide plates, and the shavings coming off the pushrods are headed to your main bearings.
If you already have that covered, and if the rockers are rubbing on the guide plates, the towers the screw-in studs for the rockers weren't milled enough. A few early 289 heads already had screw-in studs...but 302/351W heads don't and need to have...uh...0.331 (I think) milled off before you finish drilling and threading the holes for the screw-in studs. If you only take off .25 there may be a problem.
3rd possibility: How did you determine the required pushrod length? With screw-in studs and guideplates, the pushrod length MAY change. Last thing: You might reset the lash when the engine is hot. Sounds gruesome. Sorry to talk about screwins.
Last minute add-on...maybe you have a partially collapsed lifter or two??? Or is it solid (or solid roller) lifters?
Whew! gettin deep here!
OK, Yeah the pushrods are rubbing the guide plates, they are hardened pushrods also. Wasnt any metal shavings or anything in the oil when i did my first oil change on it so thats good! So hardened pushrods.. should those be ok with a little rubbage? Otherwise what we are thinking is take the guideplates back out and widen em up a milimeter or so. Sooo first step, covered :)
Next thing,,
No rubbing from the rockers for sure! Plenty of room there. These heads i have on it were off a '69 Mustang 302 block. When i got them they had just the push in style studs on them, had them taken out and had some screw in ones put in, that way i could use my roller tip rockers. I think that much is safe too :)
3rd thing..
The pushrod length was determined by putting the heads back on the block and taking a measurement. I cant recall what length that they are, but i do know that the length did change compared to stock.
Ill have to remember all of the above things ya pointed out and talk to Mr. Motor Builder Man when the time comes to fix some stuff :)
Annnnnd its roller lifters :thumbs:
Thanks alot for the input!! Much appreciated!! :clap:
Almost there: If you chose springs that are bigger in diameter than your stock springs (dual springs?) the little pad where the springs hit the heads needs to be machined to match. Round outer spring but flat inner spring in a ford is usually 1.46" in diameter. Slightly bigger than stock. Round outer spring and round inner spring will be in the 1.50's. Stock diameter may be less than 1.30. Early heads have small chambers, and you can get good compression. Buy octane booster by the case. Big springs sitting on a too-small machined spot might wobble a bit and allow rubbing.
If you do get the early 58CC chambers and get some pinging, here's what I do: Take each chamber and put an old intake valve in place with a spring/retainer. Put the tiny rotary grinder tip (tapered) and carefully work off some material next to the intake valve edge to "un-shroud" the intake flow Don't leave a sharp edge anywhere. If you carefully make the 8 intakes equally un-shrouded you might end up with a 60cc chamber, less likely to ping. There are also "fat" head gaskets to allow you to manipulate your chamber volume. This will really help if you are using bigger than stock valves. I've also seen that area "spot faced in the machine process to open it up a little. Stock ford heads have too-small exhaust ports. The port is shaped like an upside down "L" The floor is the "short side" and the roof is the long side. If you port them yourself, take a big off the short side right in the middle of the bend, as much as you want to off the long side, and wider never hurts. If you have an old head, you can sawzall it apart and see how much iron is around the ports. If you take off more than .125" anywhere, you need to know where the "thin" spots are. With stock heads, they'll still be too small, but every little bit helps.
What happened to this really cool truck?
Its a unicorn.
I just read this whole thread, interesting. So is this truck still up and going?
Its still kind of alive.. after tons of burnouts and beating around.. the motor went by by and same with the rear end x3 and tranny x2 haha. It now has a new motor and getting the tranny put in. Its been at a shop just north of rush city since... january! wtf. hopefully home soon by october fingers crossed. Its super fun to drive! I really miss it :(
