Title: Long time, No see
Post by: Clayton on December 30, 2010, 08:55:55 PM
Been close to 2 years since I've been on here for any decent ammount of time. Still have my 87 LX it still fires up! She complains a bit after she gets warm, but thats only because of my foot being naled to the floor  and a bearing decided to turn just a touch. Oh well, She'll be on the road with a mule motor this summer. More on that later this year.

Anywho. I took a decently long vacation from the computer, got my education on. I went to Lincoln Tech for collision repair graduated with high honors.

Started buying toy after toy. My latest few were... a 94 tempo, 91 f150 I6 5spd, 88 turbocoupe auto, 77 kz650, 81 ltd440, 86 f150 blown 5.0 body decent, 86 f250 460 body shot.

I still have the bird, the 70 bel-air, and my 92 dakota. I sold my 83, i had lost complete interest had to much money wrapped up in the old girl, the girl thats got it now loves it and babies the snot out of it.

I did, however, get my head aimed on straight finally and decided that this years tax check is going to get the 87 back on the road. Its going to get mildly built 302 with a cheapo cam, tube k-member, che rear control arms, coil overs and get the snot driven out of her this summer... while I start saving the money for my aluminum headed 408, that 5speed and 8.8w/3.55's I just put in it havenmt seen much drive time since they were installed 3 years ago. They're going to get one heck of a run this summer


Hope it was a decent read, glad to be back everybody

Did you tell her about us? I'd like to keep tabs on that car, it was a bit unique.
