Will this be the weekend that the Longhorn moves under it's own power?
 
Say WHAT??? :eek:

I think the planets and there moons are lined up right, i think the bad luck is going to sit this one out... (knock on woodgrain)
This weekend will be the weekend that the Longhorn makes smoke.
I still don't know it that'll be tranny smoke or tire smoke...but dammit, SOMETHING is going to smoke. :burnout: :confused: :rolleyes: :cool:

Cool, keep us posted!. Hope everything works out good.

too much stuff 12-16-2004 12:12 AM

Even if it doesn't smoke, some different door panels should make it look fast!!!(inside joke)

Go Go Go Go Go,,,,,GO GO Go ,,,,,,,,You can do it !!!!!!!

Russell 12-16-2004 12:14 AM

I want videos of the burnout!

big blue 72 12-16-2004 12:17 AM

If any body can do it before the ol' fat man arrives, Andy can do it!

Longhorn Man 12-16-2004 12:21 AM

Pics and a video WILL be taken if it works out.
My camera sucks at getting exhaust sound....kinda ticked me off. I was gonna get a clip of the GMC with the rod hammering away over the uncorcked headers...you couldn't hear jack on that clip. :rolleyes:
Anyways, I figured 2004 has been one of (if not THE) worst year of my life...ppl droppin dead all around, car accidents, engines crapping out onto the floor, dad fallin out of the sky and landing on his nose....I figure I have everything I need now (still short a starter...but I'll get one friday probably) I doubt I can have much more bad luck this year.

Hooter 12-16-2004 12:38 AM

it took me 2 days when I thought it would take an hour to get my damn Monte running, anyone else ever put the fuel pump in and forget to put the actuator rod inm first?, Doh! lets hope for the best and laugh at the worst :D

Russell 12-16-2004 12:44 AM

You did that too Hooter? lol Took me about 3 hours till I spotted the rod sitting on the bench, DOH!

longhorn71 12-16-2004 12:55 AM

kingsolver72 12-16-2004 01:12 AM

I haven't been around here on this board all that long,but if I was to make a bet I would say Longhorn Man is going to smoke the tires.You seem to be very knowledgeable and mechanically compentant.

Longhorn Man 12-16-2004 07:27 PM

It'll still go through the gears like nothing though.

Yeah...some one sitting around drinkin my alcohol while I bust ass on my rig....like i really need that! ;)c :metal:
Actually, I'd like to see some of you hang with me...I normally keep a bottle of jack with me on these kinds of jobs. Don't get drunk...just a constant good buzz. That way when you crush your finger, it doesn't hurt as much. ;)

Canadian694x4 12-16-2004 08:07 PM

Andy can't wait to see your pics and vids...Smoke them tires!
