Anybody have the info on what I need to do the conversion from a Turbo 400 to a 700r4.. like the parts breakdown...Thanks... Sorry Mike didn't mean to hijack this thread... Dan

Elliot-start with Bowtie Overdrive's website. There's a couple good threads here under driveline as well. It ain't hard.

Back to regularly scheduled programming. I dig how G-pa Jim's way down with how you chopped up his truck. That's cool.

I just read your post on having your truck in the Starbird show... I showed at Starbird for about 5 years back in the nineties... I can tell you the judging for those shows are nothing short of just a joke just like Starbird... Darryl Starbird is originally from Mulvane Kansas and has claimed he built a lot of the well known cars... The Facts are he built very few of them... So when you loose at a Starbird show just consider yourself a winner...

The one that won was just like something Starbird would have built , horrible fit and finish didn't even open the hood, door jambs were hideous and had a broken taillight !

Sounds about right... LOL... I don't even attend the shows anymore... I was within 50 miles of you over the weekend... came close to trying to come see you and Cloud 9... We are looking at a vacation home on Grand Lake...

[67cheby]

I have a friend that has one we go over and hang out with him , we love Grand Lake !

Between trying to get a house, Pontoon Boat, Ski Boat and working on Coolblu money is getting tight... LOL

[Elliot949]

Now that I have read every post on Cloud 9 and have jotted down some of the vendors I want to try to use on Cool Blue it is time to move to Square Peg and get caught up on it...

Awesome stuff Mike...

[67cheby]

Lol, wow that must have been a lot of reading ! Thank you !

[67cheby]

Hey Mike, do you happen to have an extra copy of the Street Trucks that Cloud 9 was in? Apparently I subscribed too late to get that issue and I can't find one locally anymore. I'll buy it from you if you've got one.

[67cheby]

Well damn! I went to several local stores to see if they had the September issue with no luck. For some reason I thought it was September, not November. I guess I'm good then.

[Low Elco]

Hey Mike, good slosh tubz exposure here- I think?
