Nice work on the Grand Prix. Always nice to see properly detailed engine compartments.

Here's my Cutlass with a custom air cleaner decal I made spoofing an actual Rocket decal. :mrgreen:

Tru dat but the weak little V6 was installed at the factory so it's fair game. That's part of the spoof. :) My Olds Custom Cruiser was built with a Bowtie 350 so I made it into a Fausmobile Rocket.

1976 400 SBC .030 forged TRW pistons balanced rotating assembly 5.65" stock rods stock crank Dart S/R Torquer 2.02/1.90 heads (done 1992) hairline crack in #1 cylinder at 87K sleeved decked and honed (redone 2013) now has a Lunati Voodoo .486/.509 cam. Haven't fired it yet...we'll see whether it goes or blows. My 5-year-old installed the timing cover bolts. Priceless.

There is nothing better than when your kids want to help. I had to change a tire on my malibu, my 3 n a 1/2yr old daughter helped pump the jack, and after i cracked the lugnuts loose she spun the 4-way and took the lugs off, and rolled the new tire to me, i stuck it up and started the lugs and she spun them on, i tightened em, and she lowered the jack.... then she stood on the jack while i pumped it all the way up, and then back down... EVERYTIME i am outside working on my car, she always asks if she can ride on the jack... i will say this, she is ALOT more help now then when she first attempted to help me by picking up a screw driver and "fixing" my door with it... that dang scratch stares at me everytime i go to get into my car... i thought she wouldnt want to go in the car cause she hates loud noises, anytime the dog barks, or i am gringing metal, or w/e, she says "stop making that noise, too loud". but her first time in the car, i did a couple 5 n a half grand hits, and SHE LOVED IT... the whole time sitting in the backseat saying "vrooom vrooom, turn the wheel dada turn the wheel" CANT WAIT TO REBUILD MY MONTE WHEN SHE GETS A LITTLE OLDER....

Thats awesome! My daughter says "Faster Daddy!" everytime we go somewhere. I had a hot rodded C10 that I sold last year, and when I used to take her out in that, lumpy cam, loud exhaust and all, she would fall asleep while we were driving around in it :)
