Re: my 64

Re: my 64
 

Progress looks great Gage. Nice build you have going there. I agree with the others it's nice to see younger guys coming up that want to mess with older vehicles instead of the rice burners. Keep it up, and I look forward to seeing your updates.

Re: my 64
 

as ive heard alot of people say
" you can have a 9 second honda that will outrun the american muscle in the other lane but once you beat him you'll still be gay''

Re: my 64
 

:haha: Like the old saying goes. There's no replacement for displacement! I don't care how fast the imports are, they don't have that V8 rumble! AR R R R R!! Sorry it was my inner Tim "The Toolman" coming out!

Re: my 64

Re: my 64

i pulled the oil cooler off becuse it leaked
not the cooler itself but the block that the oil runs through
the lines looked alright so i trashed them:lol:
