    Hey Scott! I used to work the overnight shift and did the same thing trying to stay on the same sleep schedule. 5 hours, sweet! You should be able to get a few things done! I don't know about bringing "Bad Felix", I would love to but I'm hoping just to bring myself at least, even if that means flying in and renting a car and spectating. After last year, I don't wanna miss this year. Bringing one car last year was enough logistics to figure out, trying to bring 2 cars seems like it would multiply things 10X. If we do bring a car, it would most likely be the crusty ole' lady again. It's never too late to start workin' on your fleet of Tri-five Chevys...maybe you and Jeff should race for pinks! :D

    Well I got away with heating the steering gear box up in stove to 400 degrees & had bearings in freezer. They tapped in pretty easy! But in the process I had the smell of burning grease or oil in house...! LOL... The cure is light every scented candle & fresh scentsy in the house...! Girlfriend had no clue...! He! He! He! He!

    That's what you think. She knows some thing is going on, just give her time to figure it out. And when she finds out you put car parts in HER oven your toast.

  8. OK, I promise to keep it on the down low...



    But at some future point I might be near your car and ask you...



    "Do you smell hot grease too or is it just me?"



    LOL...

    He's probably busy putting the Okiedoker on a diet...! Probably with an array of tools, grinder, cutoff wheel, hole saw... Maybe the fire wrench? Eric Probably had to show how to use it, like the timing light...! LOL...
    Remember After extensive testing they're 1 sec faster than last year! With a goal of 10 car lengths at the line! Jeff will be busy grinding away, because he'll snap if he sees that damn tail light panel one more time!
    LOL...!

  18. That's why I got scarce for awhile, I didn't want to get sucked into Scotts video back draft and get incinerated too. His last name is "Archer" you know! Who better to launch fiery darts at his nemesis!
     
  19. yeah, Scott sure incinerated Jeff with that one...

    I know i been pretty scarce on here, but im finally getting my shop running the way i want it to and thought i would check in. Pulled the side cover on the trans (A833 Hemi 4 speed) and sure enough i blew 3rd gear last year at the Meltdown. I am in the midst of getting parts together for the rebuild of the trans.[​IMG]

    They're just jealous cause they don't know any words what are gooder Steve!:D lol!

    Your Girl is a real good sport,and you and her are in our thoughts and prayers Brother.

    It's gonna be great to see you at the Meltdown,I just wish I was closer to take you up on your extremely generous dyno offer.
    My tuning skills mostly consist of three areas:

    Does it start?

    Does it stop?

    Why are all those parts hanging out the side/who the hell is gonna clean up this mess?

    :D
