I really apperciate the kind words. Not to sound corny or anything but if those words don'y give someone a warm, fuzzy feeling then ya just ain't a caring person.
Yeah, I do have a love for my car. When I was getting it ready to have the flatbed take it to my buddies house, it kinda felt like I was packing up my kid to move out. And yes, at 49 years old, I have helped my daughter pack up and move out when she got married. I *DO* know the feeling!
Yes, you guys are with me. I can't see you and you can't see me. I wouldn't know you if I passed you on the street and you wouldn't know me. But you guys give me inspiration and I hope I can give that back. You give me ideas, guide me through my projects, teach me when I start something new, and praise me when I get something accomplished. Now, after all that, you still think you aren't here with me as I am with you!!?? I don't see my best friends every day, yet I get on this forum...every day. Someone at work will say something and it'll remind me of something a forum member said or related to the board. Just because we're connected through electricity and satellites, don't think for a minute that you guys are not a part of my life. Maybe I need to get a life, I tend to think I've expanded my life and I'm satisfied with my life just fine! Sure it'd be awesome to shake each and every one of your hands and say "Thanks" for all the help you've seen me though with. Maybe we will on our journey's through life. Maybe we never will, but that don't mean you've not had an influance on my life. I only hope to be able to pass along just some of what I've gathered. That is "life".
I fully intend my Cutlass to be my daily driver when it gets to that point. My car will never be the fastest car around but it'll be fast enough to hold it's own. And to scare me :shock: It will never win any awards at a show, but it may get entered so I can proudly say "Here's what I've done and I did it all myself". I know every nut, bolt and imperfection in my car. My car will see the sunny days and the rain. It will see 100* days and below zero nights...out in the open as I have no garage. It will take me to work, the grocery store, to car shows hundreds of miles away, and anywhere else I want to go. I won't be pampered but will be taken care of. Until I can no long afford to or I'm not able to. It may go through vast changes in it's many miles. Will it ever be finished... no.
Yeah, you guys ARE here with me!
On another forum I'm on, it was requested that we at least put our first name in our signature at the bottom of our post. I like this idea and I have mine there. I've talked to so many of you guys and I have no clue as to who you are. I think it would at least be cool to say I got that idea from "Joe" or "Kenny", a buddy on my GbodyForum board.
I'd like to pass along a short video of what my car will hopefully sound like. This car is an LT1 and mine is an older SBC but both are fuel injected 383's with 6 speeds. I emailed him a few times and he recommended it very highly for even my daily driver. Exact same cam. I drool every time I hear this. It sounds so wicked!
Enjoy...and thanks a bunch guys!!!
