  1. Great work on the radiator support. That is a huge improvement. You nailed the stance, she's sitting perfectly. 👍👍
  2. At least they got you up and running quickly.
  3. Beautiful collection. 👍👍
  4. Sounds like a solid plan. Looking forward to it.
  5. All part of the fun. Change one thing,nine others pop up. In the end that engine will look awesome in there. 👍👍
  6. Look into a polyurea coating. More expensive than epoxy, doesn't chip and expands/ contracts with the concrete. My boss used it in certain parts of our shop.
  7. More was what Oliver Twist asked for.
  8. Circles are what my coworker runs in.
  9. My question is was/is anyone under him also responsible in reality? I know there's very deep legal wormhole in this case, and while the majority of the industry pointed out the short comings of the design, what's to stop another cowboy, and a repeat?
  10. Later versions of these were essentially ford rangers, maybe the 2.3 L mazda engine from one of those would be fairly simple swap?
  11. You still have cool old conversation piece.
  12. Bit of trimming to get that big block to fit. The interior paint on the Fairlane is looking good. 👍👍
  13. Front wheels/tires showed up for my "t" build.

  15. I changed many 700r4's due to mis- adjustments on the t.v. cable. Other than that I've seen them hold up. I been told Converter problems in the 6l are what kills them in stock trim. The dod delete requires tuning and my guy changed the lock up behavior while he was in there. Not sure exactly what he did, but I'm happy
  16. No complaints with it after the cam swap. Eliminating the displacement on demand and active fuel management junk really made the truck more enjoyable to drive. No more early converter engagement, lugging it down. I've got 120 thousand on it, 60 of which are mine. Transmission shifts PERFECTLY. and it's used as a truck, not beaten or babied. Not 100% certain, I believe the 6l80 was designed from the 4l series trans which started as the 700r4. So proven technology.
  17. My 2012 gmc has a 6l80. Not a bad transmission, it was a little "wonky" until I got rid of the AFM/DOD junk.
  18. Very interested in trying this product. It definitely looks like it can take some handling, and the fact the clear doesn't really dull it down is a big plus. 👍👍
  19. I'll have to keep an eye out for those manufacturers, though probably rare here in the United States. The quality of tools from years ago speaks for itself, as I'm sure your aware.
  20. That ex doesn't have issues, they have subscriptions. And need prescriptions.
