Indeed, I have the crows feet, but since I'm doing headers already, no sense in using them.

It'd be great to see you and to have the benefit of your expertise.

Our automatic transmission guy at the Ford dealership i worked at would always turn over 100 hours a week.When i first started there i had an old hand me down 69 Mustang with a worn out C4 in it that needed overhauling.He started on it about 8:30 and had it finished and back in the car at lunch time.This was 1975 and he built his first transmission in 1957.He was very fast and had very,very few comebacks.

Same with the guy I worked with. Think he would do them sleeping, standing up. Total robot.

Then go rob a bank and arrest yourself. You can give me the money to get you out, which I will never do. LMAO....

But lets see which words you choose to describe conditions any and every day between April 15th and Nov 15th. My guess is the word "love" will have been forgotten. :tiphat:

I may have gone a little overboard dismantling the car in preparation for the CJM fuel pressure gauge install. But here's proof that it's installed :)

Maybe. But it will be running at some point between now and then, dammit! :icon17:

I think I'm giving up on DIYing the refrigerant. I'll just let Austin Z Clinic take care of it for me once the oil pump gears are finished. Trying to decide how far to go on the wire tuck :)

Hypothetically speaking.. refrigerant gets released every time there's a decent front-end collision, so if your lines just so happened to open up in a ventilated garage while you had a respirator on and stood with a blower behind you, you'd probably hypothetically be fine.

I tucked my bay so if you have questions I'm happy to answer.

Back in the day. We just let it all out at one time. In a closed garage.

You never worked before safety regs really took effect. Nothing like taking an air hose to a set of drum brakes to blow the dust out, or washing your hands in a bucket of trichloroethylene to get the grease off.

Need to share some happy news.

Our son was accepted into a grant program and his autism therapy costs will be covered in full until he is 7. It's a huge relief off my shoulders. Also, I'm getting a media pass for Indycar testing at COTA next month so it looks like my goal for this year will happen.
