Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 11, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Christmas car!Haha jk, that's a step in the right direction!It feels good and bad all at the same time. Now it really looks redneck. I just hope the new paint hook up decides he wants to start his side gig sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but I can't wait to cover the green in some new paint. I saw a Rio Red/Saddle GT while I was in Hawaii with fresh paint and nearly shit myself.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 24, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 i get all excited when i see a big box of AN fittings and hose!Imagine staring at all that for over a year because you haven't had room to work on the car. There's still more AN stuff to buy for the radiator hoses; I have all the front fuel lines, brake lines and power steering lines. Not sure what else I could go to stainless lines and AN fittings on. When the new house is done, I can get all this stuff installed, drive it around until I get a bonus then tear her all apart for paint and wire tuck (if I can figure out how to do it).

Moderators Psychorugby Posted August 7, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 So I am about one month away from having a garage again! I have everything but the rear end and rear brake brackets; I hope to have at least the brake brackets in the next month. Time to start thinking of a plan of attack. I think I am going to put it on jack stands and take the whole suspension off so I can clean and paint, then reinstall instead of putting new parts on a dirty/rusty car. Once the suspension is on, then I have no idea what to do. I'll be unable to spend a lot of money on it, so I need to figure out the cheap stuff to do.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted September 23, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Should hopefully get the rear Cobra calipers off to powder coat this Friday after we close on the house. Not too far away from actually getting to tear into the 95 and the 66! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted October 10, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 two weeks.. lets see them calipers......The move held me up and my friend didn't take them to the powder coater like he said. I'm going to pick them up tonight so I can hopefully get them to the powder coater tomorrow. They should definitely be coated and rebuilt by the time you get here!

I gave the top a good preliminary scrub after that picture.God dude look at your room for activities!!!!!!Sent from my DROID RAZR using TapatalkI've got good room on the sides and back, the front is a little cramped due to my broken down 125 gallon reef tank and tubs of rock and equipment. If @95opal gets his way, we'll pull the motor and trans, then push her back into this spot to tear apart the suspension, brakes, and rear end.

School and moving some people this weekend is killing any chance we had to pull the motor. I'll start pulling the accessories off the car tonight and generally preparing for the whirlwind of activity that will be happening next weekend.

Sleeperstang1994 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 glad to see things happening! Every now and then i regret my decision to ditch the 5.0 glad to see your going to be keeping it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddanator Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I definitely understand having a wife to contend with when buying car parts, luckily there is no set allowance for me... moreso a look of disgust when she tells me another package came, lol. She gets over it though, it's the only expensive thing I do. I buy clothes only when they are so worn out that they will no longer stay on, I'm not into golfing or sports, I only drink a few beers a week, no gambling, etc. etc. so she lets it go This is too funny! I swear it's the same at my house. My Old Lady sends me that evil "Another damn packaged arrived!' text everyday and like you, I don't do anything else. No sports, drugs, drinking or gambling. My work boots have turned into rear flip flops but I refuse to buy more as I need new parts for Mysty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 351w block sitting in the garage waiting to be stroked and poked.

I know she loves the fact that we don't pay ridiculous shop prices when it comes to fixing cars, which helps "make up" for some of the costs.

It's actually quite dim when the sun isn't out. There are only 4 CF bulbs in the entire garage. I had a helluva time seeing what I was doing yesterday. I'll post some update pictures in the other thread when I fix the lighting (at least the deep garage is getting new lights next weekend so we can work).

I'll post some update pictures in the other thread when I fix the lighting (at least the deep garage is getting new lights next weekend so we can work).I saw a pretty tricky light set up over the weekend in a bay like the 95 has and that was to put up lights on the side walls at about chest height. Let me see if I can find a picture. But it looked like it proved substantial light.Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending where the shelves land, they might find a way into my garage too. Funny thing is my friends and I joked about putting lights down the side like a paint shop when I first moved in.
