You HAVE to be joking, I cringed moving my hot foot and screwing down the PD control, and I don't know what I'm doing, lol.

Ray

And I thought I was being a smart ass, 

Ray

I dunno, but if you find out how, lemme know..............

Going to pick up the pistons this afternoon (Took the day off). Guys dumber than I am about them, but he got them for a street engine from his machinist. Gonna go on faith that they are what they say they are (Should be).

Doesnt have to be 8-71, 6-71 will work. I'll see what homeys got today....

Oh I know, just going for an old brand is all. Hampton, Dyers, Mooneyham, would all work too. Love the Cragar idea, just haven't tripped across one yet, and Bowers is prolly from the very early 70's.

Ray

That posting was 7 months old is why. What about the Bowers? I know 8-71, but hard to get more vintage than that other than the Cragar?

Ray

I know what that is! Cuz I got one too, just not as sweet as DAT one!. (They look better stocked with something anyway.......)

If the offers open Steve, I'll see if I can get the weekend after the 8th off and bring the Moo up! That is if you're ready to launch the Beaner, lol.

Ray

there used to be one we went to in phoenix it was near firebird raceway...wanna say it started with a L...it was a cool shop had what we needed in a bind!

Yeah, Loper's. They have more, newer parts at Pep boys than they have there. I mean EMPTY, 4 guys standing around, 2 small gondola racks of hanging stuff about 8 feet long, and piles of crap everywhere with 1/4" of dust on it, about a 1500 sq foot showroom! Some speed shop, lol.

I guess this economy's affecting everyone, lol.

Ray

No I still need it for the Hallet, that one didn't burn and sink.......yet...........

Ray

I want to move the Arizona now. wish they would do that here in California

Ain't it cool! lol

Omar's talking about the 2 middle bunks. They're  "spliced" together to make the length of the boat, but should be supported at the splice IMO as yours are, or, as he said, one piece. At the splice, you can see how it's about an inch off the hull, not good.

Never seen a tunnel trailer with more than two bunks either, so I would say unnecessary and remove them. Brads trailer for the Southwind only has 2 bunks as well.  .

Ray

I am so sorry John, with my boat burning and sinking thing the day after I told you I wanted them, I forgot all about this. PM me your addie again and I'll get that TCO today fot that intake/adaptor!!!

All these guys are right, Glenn. You have to take care of yourself, your family, and your sanity first and foremost. I am the KING of fighting battles I shouldn't have for people that work for me. I always won, but sometimes you win the battle and lose the war. That has happened on a couple of occassions.

In these economic times, that is even more paramount! And it goes right up the corporate food chain. There's Noone gonna stick their neck out for nobody at Shearson Lehman, etc. on wall street. Everyone is afraid. This, globally, I beleive, could, and prolly will, be worse than the great depression before it's over. (Sorry for the doom and gloom guys, but I call what I see being direct on the retail front, and that is the first indicator. If nothing gets sold, no need to ship it, store it, manufacture it, or mine materials to even make it, just what I see). Retail ain't bouncing back, it's getting worse, exponentially.

"Coping" on this stuff is easy for me, but I'm quite a bit jaded. This is nothing to me, so I'm the wrong guy to ask. I am probably the most casual observer of it all going down, however. And I can ONLY afford do that because of the tragedy in my life. Best I can do is take advantage as best I can and invest in the future growth that will surely come. Boats are not the only thing I am into, but that's not important here.

You're gonna be ok Glenn. You're doing the right thing and putting your family first, and that's what is important!
