Just once, I figured

His story, not mine :)

Katie - I am still around. I have the motor out of the '71 and about to order a

I have no regrets selling the Cobra. This old car is much more fun.

Have you ran your daughter off yet?

Nope, Kristen is still here, the little guy is keeping me up to my eyeballs while she is at work. That little guy runs my ass off! She went to work at *sigh* the chevy dealer, also the place where I bought my Jeep.

Go figure, she is a grease monkey. aka lube tech. My little girl, a grease monkey, where will it all end!!?? I ran across, of all things, today a Bronco II. an 87 that I can pick up for $800. I am seriously considering picking it up and making it a play toy. Brop a 302 into it maybe and jack it up, make a mud monster out of it or something. Yea.. it might be fun. It's already a 4x4 with a standard tranny... it's a great start. Then I could go playin the brush and not worry about scratching the hide off my Libby for a little while.

Only 300 hp huh? It won't be enough, you know that. Shug was always weaker than I wanted and she was a smidge more than that. Think hard, I would suggest putting as much in it as you can since you're doing it anyway. Do you have any photos of the older one up anywhere?

I'd be too afraid to look down for fear of missing something I oughta be keeping my eyes on, like the road and anything that might end up centerpunching my front end.

Oh, how proud I would be to raise a daughter that was a gear-head. how cool. my child is constantly telling me to speed up while driving down the road. I look forward to taking her for a ride in the Mustang.

I have two projects going. Since child #2 is due in March, I am building a room over my garage to move my office to. I need more room. And since this room addition is taking all my resources, I will be lucky to order my parts before XMas. We will see.

Aren't children the best! Even the unborn. GRRRR

Uhhhhh, Geeeeee.... Thanks for pointing that out : 0 ) LOL Should I ask how the Hubster hurt his back? hehehehehehe

The Mach-1 will hit 7000 without valve float. It's a better engine (more refined) than the older Cobras. But then again, my

Oh yea.. kinda like warts or boils... LOL

Poor Scott.

Not in any way that *I* got to enjoy! damnit.

Sounds like it's rock hoppin' time to me.... LOL

Actually, I am not complaining about the situation. For once, I am able to build something (the room). All of my bread and butter work is boring ass computer work. Nothing real tangible. If i could make $100k and be a carpenter or something along those lines, I would do it in a heartbeat.

But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I am at sheetrock stage. and the stroker kit will be on order by week end. No pics yet.
