Jaros just PM me when you have it ready so I can take care of it

**Palf70Step** · 11-01-2008, 07:30 AM

Flawless CA body already here makes a lot more sense. We
have big, big plans this weekend and there are sure to be
a few pictures taken. I will try to start a build thread post
as soon as I get further, already having some stuff Powder
Coated as I type and the future plans for what will now be
called "YFTSB". More details to come and some insight as
to what I am doing can be found in the named siggy linky.

I know some who read this will probably enjoy this smiley.

What is wrong with Merlot?

"Merlot" has been for sale for 6 months, lost interest

What is wrong with GQ for you to trash it? If you still have it how much are you looking to get for it?

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-02-2008, 09:07 AM

Nothing was wrong with "GQ" I just wanted a 2wd
more than a 4wd. I had over $20K in "GQ" and that
was without paint. I tried to sell it for almost a yr.

I bought "Merlot" cause I was going to sell "GQ" &
then found a 2wd frame out of FL. So now instead
of fixing up "Merlot" I am making "GQ" into a 2wd.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-03-2008, 04:29 PM

For those interested, I'm not going to cross post links,
there is a thread in the CGITC section, sub section TN,
and the thread says "Luv's B-day Bash". (Pic's r there)

Rokcrln · 11-03-2008, 08:31 PM

Sounds like a good plan and a Yenko 427(HP) should be a good starting point!

Kevin,

It's really a 350 SBC, maybe you already knew that,
but since the spec's on it is right around 427 I said
I was going to run with it

I just need a few more
things gone so the parts ordering frenzy can begin

onetonk5 · 11-06-2008, 11:54 PM

Looks like your as lost as a sheep

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-07-2008, 05:36 AM

lol, I know, what a crazy plan, eh?

Yep! That was the reason for the H.P. and not a C.I.

BTW, We used your 1-man CAB and BED lift to remove the
tub. All I got to say is you are way underappreciated. That
thing needs to be marketed globally with a patent on it

Thanks, How was the balance? Did the engine hoist do it all or did you have to have more for the job? I have not pulled my tub yet.
I don't know what I would do with out mine. My back is shot but this still lets me do everything I need to.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-07-2008, 10:00 PM

Balance was pretty good, a stripped tub would have
been better. Mine was as you see it in the pic's over
in the TN region of the CGTIC section on main forum.
I had alot of help and it was supper easy to do. That
thing is worth the investment to anyone restoring.

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-11-2009, 07:51 AM

Even though this is NOT my build thread, I just realized that
I never put the pictures on here after we tore it all apart

Yeah, kinda more of an 'un-build' thread isn't it?

Ready to sell my that exhaust set up yet?

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-11-2009, 08:43 AM

If I still have it when you come down in July, Yes.

(No sense in even trying to ship all of that stuff)
