Don't we all, brother.

lol!

Well, I did 'get some'... Some clear paint that is... I got 1 layer on yesterday evening. I'll get the second one on today and snap some pics faux shaux

I really enjoyed the "Bling" on my spark plug cover.

Fahg.

Didn't see the gold bolts I changed out for you?

I was going to do a lot more of them but meggie had to leave...

Oh no.. I didn't see that.

I was kinda in a rush, my timing was off and I wanted to tweak it a lil bit.. Ended up going the wrong way and making it worse (so meggie tells me)

I"ll need you to adjust it when you get home., plz.
Gimme a call before you do.

I went home and fired it up but it didn't really sound different.
Maybe a little injector or valve chatter, but no pinging/detonation...

You've gotta drive it.. You'll see. I know what I did wrong.. Ididn't jump the lil connector under the dash whenever I changed the timing.

That and I bet Max's tuning the timing is causing a problem as well.

Heres the latest fellas...
Picked up some supplies...


Here it is with 2 coats of clear.




And my folks bought me a new Jack as a gift


And check out whats living in my Toolbelt! These little Sparrows have been laying eggs in here for a while, and the chics are always very cute... here a shot of one of the parents...

Dude, toolbelts always attract the chicks.

lol... whatever you say, dude

You need to host pics somewhere besides photobucket. I can't see photobucket from work.

I'm sure it looks good, but it makes me sad.

You need to work somewhere that doesn't block photobucket
