  7. Damn, you've been busy, looks great!

    Can you take a break and swap out the th400 in my truck while you're at it? If you can take care of that I can get back to the brakes on the Pontiac. Ok Ok, I'll be out Saturday to work on the truck! You retired guys with chronic salt fever are a little hard to deal with.

    Getting closer....better get my ass in gear and the fordor going to push you around;)
     

  11. Get your ass in gear and help me with the tranny swap in my truck! So much for that "bulletproof" th400 I had built, apparently the 200hp from the TBI motor was too much for that Hanser's Converter.... I knew their stuff is shit, always was!

    Hey, Randy ! Yeah, looking really good , Paint going on , that's always a good sign ! We have been bustin' butt on the ol'bones truck , thought I had lots of time and guess what ! Still going to be a last min. thrash. Oh well if it was'nt for the last minute
    NOTHING would get done !
    And we do know where the other streched 32 roadster is , in town somewhere ! It would be a interesting build with a Buick st eight EH ?
    Thanks for the visit and I look foward to talking with you again. RHG @ AHG
     
  17. Randy, we made it home pretty late Monday night all in one piece without any trouble with the Tudor. It rained off and on most of the way. It was great to see you again and see both of your tanks up close. Keep the progress pics coming.

  27. Great progress Randy! It's good to see you coming along on it and having fun at the same time!

    I started grinding the Tudor down to bare metal today and made a lot of dust, they had it on pretty thick!
