Re: MY build thread...

Well, well, well. Looky what the stork brought. Congrats to both of you.

The first few years go pretty well, but then...

School,
Ballet lessons,
Soccer,
Just the right clothes,
Just the right food,
Boys,
Cars,
College.

And then they leave for another love of their life and you are finally left with time for your truck. But by now you've forgotten how to work on it and even where what tools you have left are. But don't worry 'cause in a couple of years you won't have the time between baby sitting and chauffeuring the grand kid(s).

Dave, 2 daughters, 2 step daughters, 5 grand daughters. Way too much estrogen in my life.

Re: MY build thread...

Thanks guys for all the compliments... She's my first priority for sure! Long story to get where we are now! I did start it yesterday and let it run to get fluids moving but my plan is to do so all winter so it doesn't sit and seals get hard...

Re: MY build thread...

Troy, I'm sitting here wasting away in 67-72ville and ran across this. It belongs as the subcategory in cars above. (66 pickup by Bomp #1048 talking about his daughter)

Quote:
Now that I got the foot working again things (life) is getting in the way of getting work done.
The blonde one is going in on Friday to get her drivers license(take the driving test anyways).
Even with the broken foot I went and got her from college everyday to let her drive for a bit to practice.
Im the only one that showed her how to slide into a parallel parking spot. Frontwards and backwards.
Im the only one that has been teaching her.
Im the only one that has been showing her the important stuff.
Im the only one that has been devoting gas and time to her cause.
Im the only one that has been made sure she has ammo.
Im the only one that has been making sure she WILL pass, or scare the begeebers out of the DMV personnel.
She is fully learned on how to spin the car around on a full throttle reverse while reloading and laying on the horn.
Pretty good for a '94 Saturn.
She needs a bit more practice keeping it on 2 wheels though. Terrible.
I think shes ready, if not I will give her the full course on using the exit ramps as jumps.
Our DMV here in Oregon is a bit more demanding than the other states.
Dave, thinking Bomp has the right idea about raising daughters.

Congrats on your newborn !!
Sorry I am late to this ....
I always thought the secret to raising girls was:
Make them smart and teach them the merits of Martial Arts, and a steady trigger squeeze....

Sadly I never did get to test my theory on this.

Re: MY build thread...

Truck is changing little by little into what I'm after...still thinking a 3k stall will help it pull out of the hole better but not sure how the lockup would work being stall over cruise range.

Well have to modify the rear sway bar brackets to fit the way I would like, got the exhaust outside the frame so now need to attach the tail pipes and locate the mufflers if I run them

Re: MY build thread...

Thanks everyone for the congrats on my daughter, she's a hoot.... Had some time to play on the truck today.... It's 22 degrees outside and 80 in the shop! Got the exhaust legs outside the frame so one step closer there and finished mounting the sway bars. Need to find a ball/socket front swaybar link that will handle the aggressive angles when layed out... Can't wait to get exhaust done and it warm up again so I can drive!!! Also I am installing my new ground straps from inner fenders to frame, cab to frame and bed to frame! Tryin to figure out why my brake lights aren't working now!!! Btw the angle on the end links isn't that bad picture makes it look horrible...

You can either take life by the horns, or get woken up every time they hit you in the ass. I prefer the first option.
