****May Day Train****

O2 senders, exhaust bracket, tunnel mount, driveshaft, starter, shift cable, and torque converter covers are all out. Not much room for a go at the torque converter bolts, so I snaked a long extension over the K-member and with a swivel have an almost straight shot at them...


... and they won't budge. Manual indicates a torque spec of 46 ft.lbs. but they ain't even trying to loosen and my impact does have some nuts to it. I checked the new ARP bolts and they are definitely right hand thread. Time to get out some big boy tools I guess.

Nothing is ever easy or as it should be. Always that one bolt (cariage bolt anyone?;)) that puts the f's to you.

If you need a hand this weekend I am pretty much just sitting around the house. My partner broke his #7 rib so we cant play this weekend in the golf tournament.

Electrical outlets every 6 feet and at floor level as well as shoulder height. I have them in my house ever 6 feet and LOVE it. lol Takes a while to wire but its well worth it.

In a few weeks do you think Nate will bring out his Olds? I am thinking Dave will bring Zappers Formula out as well as Rusty might bring his Z06 to the track as well and Pat with his moms new SS Camaro. :) Trying to get a nice size group of guys to go racing.

MY transmission and MY front end parts. :)

I don't want to hear you boys bitching. I have to be girly this weekend and next cause my husband and I are finally having our wedding reception with family and friends next week. So I have to get my hair colored and cut, eyebrows waxed this weekend. Then next week I have to get a mani, pedi, hair & make up done for this event and wear a damn dress again :rant:

Wearing a dress and ridding yourself of excess body hair will not kill you. Spaz does it all the time and he is fine. :)

Perfromabuilt Level II transmission, 3,200 stall billet converter, K-member, and tubular control arms.


I cranked up the air pressure a bit at the regulator and the bolts all came out. Not sure why they needed the extra ooomph.

I am expected to wear white as I am the bride in this situation. We didn't get presents when we got married. We had a destination wedding with only 4 people other than us. So I would guess that we will get presents now that we are having the official reception.
Thanks

You think I dont know you are the bride and expected to wear white as you are the bride? The white dress thing is reference to a line in a movie.

If I am not mistaken, white wedding gowns were first a symbol of being pure. White is a symbolism of virginity, but honestly who are we kiding. Most people are not virgins and it was just a joke. No reason to get short about it. lol

I figured TAP would wear a black dress.......

Headed out to the big show. Will try to get some good pics. Hoping the weather holds out for some good racing......

Track? Did I hear someone say track?

Celebrating my birthday tonight!! Hope it gets better! Seriously!

Actually, it was rather disappointing. The weather did not cooperate very well. Got to see a few cars run, mainly the nitro funny cars, but none of the jet cars ran due to the weather. Here's a few pics of what we did see.
