Will this be the weekend that the Longhorn moves under it's own power? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 12-16-2004, 12:08 AM

Say WHAT???

I think the planets and there moons are lined up right, i think the bad luck is going to sit this one out... (knock on woodgrain)
This weekend will be the weekend that the Longhorn makes smoke.
I still don't know it that'll be tranny smoke or tire smoke...but dammit, SOMETHING is going to smoke.

70c10 · 12-16-2004, 12:09 AM

Cool, keep us posted!. Hope everything works out good.

**too much stuff** · 12-16-2004, 12:12 AM

Even if it doesn't smoke, some different door panels should make it look fast!!!(inside joke)

woodrow59 · 12-16-2004, 12:13 AM

Go Go Go Go Go,,,,,GO GO Go ,,,,,,,,You can do it !!!!!!!

Russell · 12-16-2004, 12:14 AM

I want videos of the burnout!

big blue 72 · 12-16-2004, 12:17 AM

If any body can do it before the ol' fat man arrives, Andy can do it!

Longhorn Man · 12-16-2004, 12:21 AM

Pics and a video WILL be taken if it works out.
My camera sucks at getting exhaust sound....kinda ticked me off. I was gonna get a clip of the GMC with the rod hammering away over the uncorcked headers...you couldn't hear jack on that clip.

Anyways, I figured 2004 has been one of (if not THE) worst year of my life...ppl droppin dead all around, car accidents, engines crapping out onto the floor, dad fallin out of the sky and landing on his nose....I figure I have everything I need now (still short a starter...but I'll get one friday probably) I doubt I can have much more bad luck this year.

Hooter · 12-16-2004, 12:38 AM

it took me 2 days when I thought it would take an hour to get my damn Monte running, anyone else ever put the fuel pump in and forget to put the actuator rod inm first?, Doh! lets hope for the best and laugh at the worst

Russell · 12-16-2004, 12:44 AM

You did that too Hooter? lol Took me about 3 hours till I spotted the rod sitting on the bench, DOH!

longhorn71 · 12-16-2004, 12:55 AM

krue · 12-16-2004, 12:56 AM

kingsolver72 · 12-16-2004, 01:12 AM

I haven't been around here on this board all that long,but if I was to make a bet I would say Longhorn Man is going to smoke the tires.You seem to be very knowledgeable and mechanically compentant.

best of luck, crazyL

**jamie72** · 12-16-2004, 07:16 PM

Longhorn Man · 12-16-2004, 07:27 PM

Oh crap...thanks Jamie....I didn't even think of a fire makin smoke. Now i'm scared.

71-longbed...that list is the short version.

Crazy Al...mine has 4.10/4.11 (can never remmeber which...dislexia is a hctib.

It'll still go through the gears like nothing though.
Tim...the slut thinks all the duckies are lined up, but in all reality, it has been a while since I messed with it. Hell...I was still livin there, so it was about 5 months ago.

Actually, I'd like to see some of you hang with me...I normally keep a bottle of jack with me on these kinds of jobs. Don't get drunk...just a constant good buzz. That way when you crush your finger, it doesn't hurt as much.

**Canadian694x4** · 12-16-2004, 08:07 PM
