Well the plan for this semi p-port bridge is to give it lots and lots of nitrous and do it the old school way. It gets its fuel from a Holley carb sponsored baby bottle. It is going to be one quick 83FBLE. hey that would make for a really cool lisence plate!!

Choked on fumes

Today I set my idle multiple times, blew alot of fumes and made my wife and daughter wanna puke from the exhaust/gas smell. Made a new coil wire, bled the brakes, spewed off most of the colorful adjectives I know, then parked it back under the carport and seriously contemplated the tequila in the freezer.

More carb playing

Played with the carb some more today, think my floats are too low. Also think my timing is a little off. My timing light is tit's up now though! More delays. Feels like I'll never get this damned thing drivin.

there still not done. the waist gate takes maybe 2 hours if you take your time. FMIC is a bit more work, but shouldn't take 4 weeks.

I finished my coat of swirl remover, then thought it was too nice out to be in the garage. Saw a chick that got arrested (thinking for theft) and took off from the cop when he wasn't paying attention - she had one hand cuff on the other was just dangling as she is running, she ran right behind my car as I was pulling by, cop caught up and got her within 40 ft though.

I love looking at my car/s (yes even my 12 tone FB). I do it on a daily basis, and I daily drive it too. but I love to stand out side and just look at them.
