    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    So who would have guessed the front end to drop to 24.25" once the car was leveled? Not this guy. Definitely going to need some healthy bump stop action before I hit the road. It's very much like the wagon... just lower. If you look under the tire you can see my cardboard and oil/grease...

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Probably. My high testosterone levels started taking my hairline years ago. Fortunately I've been shaving my head since highschool... and met Natasha while bald. Rest up. I am here I'd you need anything... except bodywork. ;)

    BUILD THREAD “The Juggernaut”

    Reading... Reading... Reading... Those legs! So hairy! Like George the Animal Steele's back. We need an intervention! Also... did you do the two tone paint on Old School to match the silver upper and dark lower of your body hair? Where is the transition line and is it pinstriped...

    Budget lowering - Am I doing this stupid?

    I got mine off of eBay. They were the cheapest and quickest shipped to the centre of nowhere. In the rear you do the top and can just jam the open end into the frame pocket. I've been sending cars like that for over 20 years. You can use heater hose if it suits you. PG?

    Budget lowering - Am I doing this stupid?

    Some cheap drop spindles and MOOG 5660s will get you down to 26" ground to lip on most cars. The rears can be matched with any open ended spring that you chose to chop. Or longer coil over springs. Or... well any creative solution really. My wagon and MCSS have variations of all of these with...

    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    A bit I imagine so. The weight is shifted slightly to the rear because of the ramps. Plus, my fat butt isn't in the car yet. It might actually be a 1/2" higher than before at 25"... which is fine by me. The front LCAs are about parallel now so that should net some big improvments in feel and...

    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    Finished it after midnight. She's going to need some more camber dialed in to account for the new offset. But, it's done, down, and dastardly.

    Track posted pictures of the sadness in realtime.

    Getting the F' Outta Dodge.

    Well I ain't racing tonight... Track opens at 0700hrs tomorrow, racing starts at 1000hrs. Might be a better fit. Or maybe just take the kids to watch. We'll see. Still so much work to do around here.

    Size vs. volume vs. you making assumptions. ;) And yes, there is a possibility she will be on a sports scholarship while getting some fancy degree just to be employable in 15 years. This world is out of control.

    2019 Challenger Widebooty HellKitty (she's giving me the meatsweats...)

    Christmas in May. Got tired (Dad joke) of not having bias ply tires for drag racing on a stick car. In come the 28x14.5-17 QTPs. 12 full inches of "tread". I thought the Kirkey box was empty. Looking forward to losing another 50lbs out of the car. Got some more fabrication to do.

    Getting the F' Outta Dodge.

    Speaking of farming. The girls have been clamouring for a fire pit. So I recruited Tatiana and we got to consolidating the larger rocks on the property so we can start into that project. And in other news... Tatiana did it again last night: Another inside the park home run! Pardon my...

    Seems to be planting something. I guess he is doing the Jr. Farmer thing.

    It's getting pretty stupid out there.

    Society is being purposefully pushed to the brink. It will bring in new regulations and legislation to restrict and remove any autonomy or independence. We have been systematically dumbing ourselves down. The exchanges Natasha and I have had with our children's educators would astonish you...

    EL CAMINO Scored a 6.0 today

    Rods and pistons? Really?! Dafuq. Stock LS2 (6.0) with a LS9 cam and a used Procharger took my 5300lbs TBSS into the 11s. But, you do you. I am out.

    This is what I mean. It looked like this when we moved in, it grew over this Spring, and now he's back out there redoing it. I don't get it.

    EL CAMINO Scored a 6.0 today

    Do we even know if this is a Gen III or Gen IV 6.0L? It could already have the "better" heads on it. As for the power target? As stated: Lose the carb dreams and stick to EFI. Take all of that money that would have been wasted on junk parts and buy/do: 1. LS9 cam; 2. A good set of beehive...

    1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Sedan LS Turbo Build

    I had Natasha hanging off her Camaro's exhaust pipe last week while I tightened the clamp... I couldn't convince her to keep tension on it while I put a few tack welds in place.
