If rules are broken mods can handle it, report issues and let mods handle it, please keep it off the forums.

Mods make the call on what is violating the rules, what is baiting, what is mocking and what is trolling.

Anyone who thinks they can do as they please because they think my hands or mods hands are tied will be in for rude awakening.....

I built a V-8 Vega back in the early 80's. It was a BLAST!

Cool, I had a friend that built a V8 Vega in the late 70s. He put a 350 small block in it with a high rise manifold and a blower on top. It looked like a half scale funny car. The problem was the engine sat so high he couldn't see to the right at an intersection. Everybody got tired of riding along just to tell him it was clear at a stop sign. Finally he had to open the driver's side door and poke his head over the roof to get a good right hand view...funny!

Way back when,a guy I knew stuffed a 289 straight 6 in a pinto hatchback.Quick little S.O.B. He pulled into the gas station I was working in.He had little drops of oil all over his hood,roof and right side of the car.I asked him what the hell happened.He was racing a GTO and the guy blew his engine trying to get by him:laughing7:

Yea I went through a lot of different engines trying this and that. Yea I ran a 355 for awhile with a low profile B & M blower. But that was short lived. The funniest thing I did while building this car was the day I pushed it out of garage and onto the blacktop ally and fired it up. Had a 327 then and a 4 speed Muncie rockcrusher trans. I drove it back and forth up and down the alley. Everything looked good to me. So I rev the motors rpm's up and dropped the clutch. The windshield exploded and the doors were hard to open. We pushed it back into garage and had a beer to regroup. In fact we had a lot of beers. I went through a lot of "learning curves" building this car... you don't go to the auto store for parts.

See ya. Going to the Chinese buffet. Will be 10 lbs heavier when I return.

Yo bandit have you ever been to a site called Tiger tools? Just ordered a U joint puller. great idea had to change these in the field with a hammer and socket before. Dodge 4 wheelers suck on front end parts, Diesel a little to heavy. Or maybe the rocks a little to big?:laughing7: watch the utube video.

Years back I took my Son and his buddy to one of those Trout ponds were your guaranteed to catch fish. Bought them some cheese curds which trout love, and set them to fishing. I took a stroll up to the office keeping them in eye shoot and started a conversation with the owner. Hr later the kids all smiles came up with a bucket of trout. Wow I thought nice day, till the owner ran up the tab. 75.00$ and I hate trout. That was half weeks pay back then. learned, never leave the kids with a cane pole:laughing7:
