No FIRE! Fire BAD - especially underhood. I have recent experience.

Best of luck

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

Finished up most of the final details last night.

It is 99.5% ready to run, but they may move our house closing up early, so I don't know if I will have a chance to light it off before having to move!

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

congratulations on the new house, btw. Did y'all close?

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

Not yet. It is currently set for Jan 31, but our buyers are pushing to do it earlier.

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

it would send a message to the new neighbors if you had it running when you showed up. Vroom. Hi.

Obviously, I'm all about first impressions, winning friends, and influencing people. (cough)

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

I'm so disappointed... here I thought you were a real BS'er - but you're more concerned about sheltering your family in the dead of winter rather then getting your spare car running? for shame!

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

Haha yeah, when it the low is 04 deg F like it was last night, I kinda try to keep my family sheltered & warm. ;D

Oh yeah, the hood fits with NO issues now that I found a 14" air filter element that is 2.5" tall instead of 3"!

Nice work!

how much bigger is the new garage?

or is there room for a "garagemahall" at the new address?

[BBR]

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

New house just has a 2 car garage, but I plan to build a 24x24 in the backyard. The backyard will still be 5x (or more) bigger than what we have now.

;D

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

Space is good!

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

24 X 24 = too small. Of course, 100 X 100 is still too small, so........ Just sayin', build all your wallet and the zoning folks will let you. I knew my 30 X 40 was too small when I ordered it but I cover all the lot the building authorities would allow. It really wouldn't have cost much more to go a fair amount bigger. Except for the concrete.

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

My current one is 20x24 and it works fine for me as long as I keep it semi-clean. :D

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

Semi-clean........ is that when it looks like a semi overturned inside the shop?

If so, then mine is semi-clean too!

;D

Re: BBR's 545 83GT

I'm with Stiney! Here's hoping the upstairs will help. At least I'll have a place to put some of this junk.

Clean = see the floor and move around easily.

Semi-clean = trails to important stations, workbench, grinder, engine bay.

Not clean = foot holes to step in

;D
