Skid Mark - how fast for 5k?

[Beagle]

irony. .

I turned down a free donkey this weekend. Seriously. While picking up the Lincoln (only six months later. cough) I was offered a jenny. Ah, well, that's nice, but no thanks.

Turd is on the trailer barely - getting a flat suspensioned air ride Ford onto a trailer is a major hassle. It caught on everythign, I had the trailer damn near 45* (felt like it, but not really) before it would clear. I left it on there... worn out from putting it up there to begin with. I'll drag if off next weekend. At least it's home.

Progress is progress! I'm confused (happens often) aren't you building a solid flat tappet 302 for something? Is that for this project instead of the 460?

[Beagle]

the 302 is for the thunderbird. This one got evicted, I have been dragging junk from central TX to further north N. Central Tx for months, am worn out with it but I'm happy to have it back. Long story. I remembered the donkey commentary and thought it was funny as hell that I would get offered one while picking this turd up yesterday. Much funnier than dragging a Lincolnd laying on the dirt on top of a trailer. cough.

There's still a machine shop fresh wrapped in plastic 460 under the bench, and I'm easily distracted. The 302 thing was a spur of the moment deal.

air ride - responsible for guys like us picking up cheap Lincolns for years. I turned it off on Dad's 98 towncar in storage for the winter - I think it was slowly leaking down, then pumping itself back up - all while killing the battery (trickle charger couldn't keep up)

My car has Hookers on it. They needed a little help here and there, but they were cheap.

For some reason today I find this post HILARIOUS.

If you're gonna have cheap hookers, more is better.

[Beagle]

So long as they are not dead ... but then they rarely give you much trouble

[STINEY]

and they needed a little help here and there........

[SuperBuickGuy]

texans and hookers, what could be more right?

[Beagle]

That's a question for Bruab I think?

Just occurred to me that a Lincoln LSC and a new Camaro weigh about the same. Hmmmm. I think the LSC is getting a drag week nod.

I have an un-transferred title here, but hey, here's something new... I can't find it. How hard is it to get a bonded title?

[SuperBuickGuy]

Don't know about Texas, but if it's similar to Washington or Montana it's really easy. Keep in mind there are two types of titles when you have to get the car in your name (when the title's lost) a bonded title is that - you buy a bond for the agreed value of the car and if someone owns the car; that bond pays them the value of the car (normally speaking, if that happens you have to pay back the bonding company).... there is another way, you can file for a provisionary title - in that case after a period of time the title converts into a regular title (3 years generally). For both titles the application process is the same. You file a document with DMV that describes the car, how you got the car (bill of sale is important), and you pay a fee (and bond if that's the route you take).

Funny, I'm going through this right now on a 50 Buick that's been sitting for at least 40 years.

Oh yeah, keep those air springs! They allow monster weight transfer. I have a friend with a 347 powered one and it hikes the nose up nicely when launching. Looks badass.

[Beagle]

the bags are toast, what about 4cyl Mustang springs?

[BBR]

Sure! This thread is approaching Bob levels of photographic phail.

I just got the bitch home last night, it was raining, and it was dark... I swear to dog... it's not my fault!
