Boyd's is worth the wait. I've used several and given many as gifts. Really warms up an average dispenser.
This is my 3rd Boyd's stock. Really do like the quality. Wood furniture on your dispenser looks good. Its unique, you don't see many dressed in anything other than rails and polymer these days.

I've put a few of them on various ARs over the years.

First time I've seen a slick side with a flat top..interesting.

The car did when I drove it..what do you mean?
I meant move away from 91 degrees at 0730. You take the good with the bad there.



Copy/paste from LS1Tech on the CMC car inbound. . .

Last night I removed and disassembled the transmission. After some research today, it seems the keys were the root cause and not damaged by something else.

Not surprisingly it took the blocker ring with it. The hub and input shaft were spared though, so I'll take that! I put these stockers back in over the winter because the billet ones got chewed up.

But seeing how their failure mode is not one of explosion, I'll be going back to them. I have some for 5/6 and R that I was too lazy to install during the 2020 rebuild, so I'll be putting them into 3/4 and 5/6 before this goes back into the car. On the interwebz, Syncro stuff is all backordered. But this place up in Denver had everything in stock that I think I need, so I swung up there today. I really only needed a blocker ring for 4th, but I grabbed 2, a reverse hub, and a few snap rings.

I'd wanted to do the reverse hub when I had it apart to reseal, but was cheap/lazy and slapped it all back together. This should make me whole again, planning to reassemble and reinstall Monday. I'll be at the track this weekend directing and hanging out with no car. Gonna be a bummer with no car, but I don't want to rush its reassembly. I also intend to have the cool suit cooler built for my next event. I've about had it with sweating my *ss off.

You misread, I said 1930.. But yes, dealing with it for now, I do enjoy the beach and I have a very nice life down here, the bad is the people and the crap that I've met so far as the general society here but that's a different story.

I'm glad you are rebuilding your relationship with your trany.. :)

Successful trip to the MAFCA National Convention 2022 hosted by the Alamo A's. The event lodging was @ the YO Ranch Resort in Kerrville TX. We got beat-up trying to thrash & have the cars ready because of setbacks (relying on others that didn't come through) but we rolled out last Sun @ 0730 for the trip. The Cabriolet was on the trailer but my buddy drove the 4dr Sedan. It has an updated inserted motor w/a early 80's Ford truck 4spd (3 + OD), a Stromberg carb, & pressurized cooling set-up. Made it the entire trip w/o any hiccups. Return speeds averaged >65mph. The Cabi is more of an in-town ride for now. Top down cruising in the heat of the day is No-Bueno & 70mph w/the 92yr old top up causes it to deteriorate rapidly so it gets towed until the lid is replaced ($$$$$).

Took a cool detour up into the hills where some houses were perched way to close to the edge for my comfort. Nice view from up there though so we popped off a few pics.....
