One sentence game

Mounts for the engine on the '66 Chevelle I'm finishing up were welded in about 1.5" too high AND too far forward, because the highly-paid chimp who built the custom frame didn't actually measure anything, made the front frame rails too close together, so had to wonkify the engine placement to make room for headers.

headers that don't fit are DEFINITELY a problem to be dealt with, a while ago, the Hot Rod shop I worked at brought in a '69 Mustang Mach 1 with a Coyote engine conversion where the headers wouldn't fit, all the new motor mount welds looked like bird sh*t and the "fabricator" who did the conversion had no idea of the concepts of "center line" and "square", it cost the car's owner tens of THOUSANDS of dollars to clean up this mess.

Mess could have been a whole lot worse but it was hard to tell at first as there was tranny fluid all over the tunnel, the floor, my new sports jacket all because the idiot forgot the o-ring on the dipstick tube, he was the dipstick 

[johnyrotten]

Dipstick should have followed the w.p.s., I wouldn't be cleaning his mess

[LennyB]

Mess again, I can't stand looking at all these messes, better call Servpro so it looks like it never evenhappened.

Last present my wife wrapped tonight."

Tonight I may start on the 1966 Mustang kit my dad brought home from Value Village last night that I didn't know about until 7:22 this morning

[slusher]

Morning starting out warm and wet like Spring..

[NOBLNG]

“Spring into action” is a modus operandi that just doesn’t appeal to me anymore.

[LennyB]

Anymore time spend on this model kit and I'm going to scream, been working on it for ten years now.

Boothe Lake in Yosemite Nat. Park is worth a visit if you like the outdoors.

Outdoors in the spring is beautiful always wanted to see Montana…

[Ace-Garageguy]

Montana is the location of Ted Turner's ranch.

[Falcon Ranchero]

Ranch-ero falcons are nice cars

[Ace-Garageguy]

Cars that are half trucks are kinda useful.

[LennyB]

useful when I drove to pick up a bunch of Mustang parts including a 302 which all fit nicely in the back of my Ranchero

[Ace-Garageguy]

Ranchero eggs (huevos rancheros) are one of my favorite breakfasts.

[JollySipper]

Breakfasts are called that because you're breaking your overnight fast...........

[Ace-Garageguy]

Fast women used to be slower apparently, 'cause I can't catch 'em anymore.
