    not yet. havent touched it since the tranny was taken out. Been busy with the Mustang. And I talke to Bryant and he said hed have the brackets he is going to make ready in the next week or so. I havent been able t oget my friend over to weld them up for me so I may just buy the ones from Bryant to make it go in easy and faster.

    I wish they had SCCA, WRC, or any other variation on Road Racing on TV than I would watch it... I'm sure if I participated in drag or nascar than I might find it interesting but I don't find it all that interesting to watch... Once in a great while I'll goto firebird raceway for their friday night drags or their saturday drift/drag and spend a hour or two watching but it's more to look at the cars than for the drag racing...

    Kind of funny how that happens....a friend of mine told me... "When you forget what you were going to get, or do....go back to the place where you were standing when you thought about it and it will come back to you". So I do that and I still forget when I get there . I spend my day going around in circles. Thats why I dont like NASCAR or Farming. :biglaugh:I guess Ill be an NHRA patient in the Nursing Home, Going all the way straight ahead and poop my shoot at the end, line up the next day and do it all over again, like its the first time. I wish Sex was like that.:biglaugh:Wait..... was that something shinny?

    Craig you crack me up. Shiney? Where? Oooo pretty.... Wait what were you saying again? wait, Shiney? Where? Ooooo Pretty..... Huh? who are you?

    But Craig thats great for you to offer to come put my transmission in. I offered it to uou to take back to Yuma with you but I guess you want to come up here and put it in. What a guy. Id be so grateful I will give you that gold hotwheel along with a green one and a Red one and a Blue one I think. So when are we cooking hot dogs? hold on theres a spot outside i need to go stand in.

    Good Guys is for old farts and 55-57 Chevys. :16suspect Not my kind of thing. Im sure Tony will be going, since he matches on of the criteria.

    Plus they say its for cars 72 and older. if my cars not allowed then im not going.

    I think we had a meet this morning. It must have been because it was raining and I didnt see any other Mavericks.

    Ryan, Ryan, Ryan...tell the truth. You know you aren't going because the car isn't done. There is no shame here, just step up and say it..."Hi, my name is Ryan and I have a garage queen."

    Actually I swore off Good Guys many many years ago, back when my car got driven often. Once I saw they cut off the date at 1972 I decided they werent good enough for me if my cars not good neough for them.

    And look whos talkin Mr KING of the Garage Queens. Just because your car left the garage 3 times this year dosnt give you any room to talk.

    Well gene we have 2 more cylinders in our cars to deal with so obviously it takes us 3 times as long to get these things togethor.
