And put em back together 99% of the time. Brittany was askin were ya been hub. Havent seen anyupdates about buliding a house/workshop yet?

Re: The Blue Goose
 
Well, no real updates. Still chasing (trying) oil leaks think im still leaking a lil at the drain bolt on the pan..Uh

Figured out (I think) why my front disc brakes were holding pressure. The soft lines were getting kinked when I turned certain ways. Took em off and re clocked em and re bleed, alot better but might replace the hoses in the near future?

Still got a line on a shortbed frame. Would like to swap my stuff over to a shortbed frame OR start another build (longterm, or just start collecting parts for another build) 4/6 drop and TTII

UPDATES

Got 2 steelies with old tires to store my truck on (have good tires dont want rotted)

Swapped in a heavier distributor spring tonite to tighten up the curve (was idling @ about 1100 rpm) Now its down to about 750rpm that thumpr cam is really noticable now.

Picked up a few oil filters and some oil and lucas break in oil along with some felpro stuff (planning on a cam swap real soon hopefully).

I believe im going with a lunati voodoo 262 (60102).

Thats about all...
