Thats it for today, found a belt that should work.A couple hoses and some steel pipe for rad connections and it can be filled with coolant. I have some used stuff im going to run first,as i wont put water in it to flush cooling system. Leave water in it now and its game over.
 
wow, had a guy just leave my house.

I was checking my mail and my mail box is just off the street. So I saw a truck (late 90s dodge ram with an exhaust system) coming up the road so I thought I would let him pass and then go on the street to the mailbox. He saw me and slowed way down so I am being patient and waiting and he creeps up slowly and stops. He says "hi there, which house do you live in" ?

stunned with that creepy *** question I was hesitant to answer and he says " I am only asking because I have been trying to find the people who live in that house, (as he points to mine) because it seems like no one is ever there and I wanted to ask if any of those cars might be for sale"

I said, "yea, that is my house and my cars but none are for sale right now"

He looked stunned and said "are you doing anything with them?" I rolled my eyes and said "good day" as I started walking to the back of the truck to get around it and back to my house.

He says "miss, miss, I didn't mean anything by that but I am just saying if you ever decide to sell can you call me, here is my business card"

I felt bad because the poor guy is trying, so I took the card and looked at it and told him "I will think about it, good day" and came back in my house.

" are you doing anything with them" LOL and where is this any of his business. I think he is the same guy who stopped before but I am not sure because I really didn't look at his face.
I need more fencing

Can't blame the guy for asking. He just said it wrong.

My wife took my daughter and a bunch of her friends to a haunted hayride so I am sitting in the garage with a cold beer in hand enjoying the sweet smell of gasoline and oil coming from the warm engine of the GTS.

It was a great day cruising, the car was running so sweet that I felt like I could just drive forever.

Should see if its the guy that has a thread where he goes around scrounging up cars and parts. I don't remember which section its in but prob General or General Mopar.

I think he is a local yokel roaming around.

The business card is for a body shop located about half hour from me. I never heard of the shop but I somewhat know the area it's in.

I think he just came this way which is farms all around for one reason or another and he is probably always looking and just happened to roll by.
 
Here's the information that we have from our "research"... My degree info has some error as my degree wheel may not have been accurately centered as the hole in the wheel is larger than the bolt and I did my best to eyeball it... I now have a bushing to center it more accurately for future checks...

Probably best to discuss this in the other thread. No?
340 cam specs?

Call the shop and ask them if they have someone there that drives such a vehicle. Worst that could happen is he answers the phone :rolleyes:. If they don't have such a person, inform them they have somebody out there misrepresenting them. Just a thought.
 
I just love walking through the door from the house to the garage and seeing my lighted signs reflecting in the side glass of the GTS. It just makes me smile every time. :)

I think I can start putting my front porch back together. I do believe the painting contractor is finished :D. Been a while since I've set on the porch with an adult beverage and enjoyed the sunset. I'll have to use the counterweighted beverage glasses today, nasty 40mph winds again.

Comcast ripped me off when I was on auto pay and shorted paying back some of it... That's why I do not do auto pay for any service any more... And I don't to comcast either...
Mine wasn’t on auto pay...
 
I gotta go do some more lawn mowing... Weather is nice and I won't have any time to do it tomorrow....

Catch ya all later...
Just did some of that..
Got my tires on by 9 this morning. Worked 10:45 to 3:15. Then came home and filled the basement stairs with fire wood. Mowed around the house. Seeded grass in the area just off the back steps. Think that’s gonna have to be enough for the day. Time for some food and beer and shower...Maybe not in that order. Lol
