LOL!!! Hahah thanks guys!! BTW Ivan thanks so much for fixin my pic.. looks awesome! it's even got my name on it!!! Ok some of you have asked for the story of my ride and how i got to be interested in cars. Here it goes and i will try and make it as short and painless for you as possible.... Ok I was raised around cars. My grandfather collects them.. has around 11 including a 66 electra 225... two 57 buick's etc. My dad was a mechanic. fastforward 15 years when i start looking for my first car. i was stuck on gettin a 68 mustang fastback 68 charger or somthing xtremly rare you dont see everyday. so the guy im dating at the time had already "learned" me how to do wrench work on my car etc.. and he finds this brite @$$ yella car on auto trader. i was like well dude...what about that vette stingray and that 442 and that camaro... well i decided to go look at it and when i saw that beautiful tail end sittin itself up in the air i got a tear in me eye and i had to have it!!! I got it from a really nice guy who was in the ARMY. he trailered it back from washington state to bullard tx. (and when we bought it((BEST $2200.00 that was ever spent on me.. only time that much was ever spent on me lol)) my friend was there to trailer it back (two hours from Bullard to Houston after we had gone up and back to see it once already) for me cuz of bad breaks no insurance etc..) the guy he got it from was not well liked and i still have the key marks on the side of the car to prove it. ...guy i got it from ran into the passenger side door a week before he sold it to me:ball: also he didnt have a big enough airfilter on the carb (i guess) so there is a burnt spot on the top of the hood:ball: but the interior is nice... tan ( i have to get black) but nice, i dont have a compressor for AC, I have a 350 but i have a nice 400 turbo trans with a shift kit ready for a 455 to set it off nicely. Someone just stole my passenger side sports mirror. there is some cancerous rust. I need a new hood with scoops. I need a radio, dash, tires, minor things.. bumpers, Paint etc.. that s about it i belive oh yea and a new carb. I have a Carter AFB and I've heard alot obout Holley street avengers? ANY comments on this? One last thang... That is my friends (the one that found my car) dad's Chevelle. It's a sweet ride!! That is also his '86 GN. He has three... an '85 (dads).. an'86(((the one pictured))his moms and sisters)... and an '87 (HIS!) And Yes... we usually sit around the table after a day of working on either one of these smelling of either carb cleaner,oil, or gasoline and fastorange as we grab the steak with permadirted grubby coon fingers Hope you can read it it kinda gets a lil complicated with all the (((())))))))(((((())))) but (most of)ya ll are smart:laugh: soo later! :gt:
AND Just wanted to say... LOOKIN GOoOd Ivan and Adam!!:TU: :beer :bglasses: :laugh: :Brow: :grin: p :gt: << think that s enough lil dudars?
Re: LOL!!! Very Touching LMAO :laugh: LOL!:laugh: Thanks for the compliment Mel. Took some time to get it to were it is today. Other than that Im a happy soul.:TU:
Melinda, Thanks for the reply to the PM about Houston. Memories! So Westheimer is still the place? Cool! About your carburators, the AFB is supposed to be a reliable unit, the Holley is the most tunable. Don't rule out a quadrajet. When they work right they are great! You mention stuff you need. Consider a post under the parts wanted section of the board. Its worked for me.
Re: AND Thanks!:bglasses: I do think you need one more in there...:Comp: .... :sleep: It's too early in the morning.:sleep:
