Good afternoon guy's
Roads are in great shape it's 46* and everything is melting.
Supposed to get rain then 4" snow tonight.
My niece is real sick from covid I'm taking her some groceries.

I recommend using lotso tires. Nothing burns a pos car to the ground like a good tire fire.

And do it at night, because tires don’t smoke when you burn them at night.

It's getting there..





If they didn't have all this extra material hanging down off the bellhousing, or the crossmember 1/2" further forward, one wouldn't need to remove the engine mounts and jack the engine up to get the pan in or out..




But, considering a guy has to remove the right inner tie rod to get the steering rack to fit out it's pretty run of the mill normal..

That's dumb. Should be able to at least beat them with their stupid designs

 

[Mastermind]

I'm not sure either.
Some days I just want to walk away.

It's not getting any better. If people want to be able to do stuff themselves, find something now that they are comfortable working on, and put whatever it takes to keep it going into it.

Harumph Harumph Harumph

Hope your Niece makes a speedy recovery Dave!

Seconded.

Is this better racing than a regular World of Outlaws show?

For sure John! All the names are there from Nascar, World of Outlaw, USAC non-wing and midgets, and dirt late models. There was almost 400 entries over 5 qualifying nights of racing plus Saturday.

If it comes apart without things breaking, probably 25,26 hours.
I have zero intention of starting on it this week, I have too many other things completely tore apart.

Sad thing about this is the fact The lord of the wrench always pitches a fit about how he works on this guy's trucks (excavating company) and nobody else should touch them.
Well, the lord was gone, truck came in for an issue the he had been making love to for over a year..I fixed that problem, and noted when I started it after sitting the low coolant light came on. In order to cover my butt, I noted that, the fact that the surge tank was full and that it built excess pressure immediately..and now it's my baby..

I’m assuming lots of FML’s were muttered.

Actually Gary, when I encounter circumstances like this I tend to deflect my irritation about it towards telling my used feminine hygiene product coworkers that would refuse to do that particular job that they are used feminine hygiene products rather than inwards toward myself. Because *f-word them, that's why.
I do differentiate between the few good guys I work with and the rest, and treat them accordingly.

Seconded.

What year is that bullnose?

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

Big time.
That job under warranty will pay about 16 hours.
Regular book time using Chilton, Motor, Etc, will be about 40. Warranty time was 30 about a year ago, then they cut it.

Well that is some *B-S.... huh Ed. 16 hrs chargeable for a 25 hr job is bad enough for an entity that is designed to absorb overheads, but downright criminal if you're running your scheme.

Morning boys.
