I,ll get some pictures taken today and send them to you
Well I got them posted,but said I didn,t have permission to see them.haha
The ouside mirrors are off of a 60,s car. The inside small mirror is for a 1959 MG--So I guess I would have a SPORTS -4-WHEELER. You can see just as good out of these little ones and at night.They don,t knock your eyes out like the original one.When someone comes up behind you and you don,t have to adjust them at night.lIKE THE BIG ONES.
She looks great! I like the mirror on the dash a lot. That is one straight 78!
That a rail ? If the lady in the background was a red head. She pass as Shirley Muldowny--remeber her. I liked watching them rails. Also the school bus wheels--ever seen then--their something else.Seeing a school bus go down the straight on it rear wheels.hahaha
Most of the racing I did was with the law. We enjoyed that. I out ran a 440 state police cruie ome night in the Fairlane. With the 390 in it. We ran about 7 miles . I was so far ahead of him. I pulled off this side road and watched the run this intersection with the lights flashin. Pulled back on the road and went up this holler and my friend and I laughed about it.Finished our beer and went to sleep. Two days later .One of the cops stopped me and asked me where did I go to. ? He said the went were I pull off to go home and stayed up all night. I laughed and told him.My friend and I sat up talking about it and laughing about it drinking beer. He was a good cop. He got a laugh out of it too.
Nitro funny car, (The happy hour one from earlier) the body is carbon fiber and weighs nothing. Lifts right off!
Awesome!
Well I figure. As long as you keep busy--the mind keeps working and it good for anyone. I,m not the kind that sit around and does nothing. I have to have something to do.
I think I,ll check the fuse on my 76 fired bird today.. The heater quit working and before I pop the bottom of the fender back to check the motor. I think I, check the fuse and wiring first.Might save me some time and aggervation.
I hd a fried that was a mechanic all his life and he retired. A little while later I visited him. He was laying on his couch and asked me to hand him a piece of candy. Then everytime he ate it. He,d ask me to hand him another. So finally I asked him who handed it to him when I wasn,t around? He said his wife and when he retired he was not gonna do anything. I told him he better stay active or he,d take a heart attack and die. He said he wasn,t goona do nothing and he didn,t,but died a short while later of a heart attack. He was a good mechanic and guy.
Well I tried to check the fuse. Hear my battery post was to far away. I don,t care much for that little hole to put the battery through on these firebirds. Not much room at all.
Sorry to hear that.
The 390 looks great! Did you have trouble with clearance on the oil pan? I tried to put my GT 390 in my 78. I was just out of school and didn't know much then. (Thought I did though!) Couldn't find an oil pan that cleared the diff
Well my motot was out of a truck and their is not alot of clearance,but I got it off. I want to put a new chain and high pressure oil pump in it. The motor looked brand new, Not a speck of dirt,but I went ahead and put he new timing chain and oil pump in it, It had the hood bowed on the truck I took it out of and had rusted a hole in the valve cover. THEIR WAS NO WATER IN THE PAN,. I went ahead and took the heads off and checked all the valves. Their was one that had a real small speck in it and I replaced it. I have about 3-4 inches of clearance between the motor and firewall . Also I put a new GATES water pump on it and they make alot of different parts MADE IN AMERICA, . To bad about the firebird. . Is the 76 body the same as the 81?. I have 2-ta,s and 2 firebirds .From 75-78. When and if I live long enough. I,m gonna take the parts from one and make another. My sister bought the TA new and she couldn,t drive a old car on the salty road. She had to act like a big shot. When it started rusting--I tried to buy it from her but she wouldn,t sale it.Then when her and her boyfirend broke up and she had no place to put it and it had started rusting bad--she gave it to me. It does have good gear. I bought a 76 with a good body and hope to be able to swith out the part.It has no motor in it--just a roller.
