Massdiesel, thank you thank you tahnk you

Thank you for a fantastic Saturday, Massdiesel. The food, the beer, the people, the rigs, toys, was just plain old fun.



A big thanks to ToolManTimTaylor for his wastegate 'thing a ma bob'. 38 psi is REAL sweet Additionally, thank you goes out to TCoombs and JES for help with the install.



I enjoyed seeing everyone, old and new faces.



As soon as Scott gets me the pics, I will post them again.

Thanks to BigDaddy for wanting to drop someones truck on my head BTW, I like the painted exhaust manifold, and thatnks for the tips on the CB install.



Holeshot, I'm definately posting the ic of your face after MoparMuscles wild circus ride.



Vaughn, it was very nice to meet you.



Jay really knows how to cook a turkey and haul A$$ on his way home, he was the lucky man with an HX40.

Someone mentioned that I looked as if I had just gotten off a roller-coaster... . another mentioned that I looked as if I was there in person and actively participating in the photo that produced my avatar pic!!



Yet another really great time... . I can't wait for the next one.



Matt

P. S. Check out my poll CLICK ME!!

What a day!!!

Guy's ... where to begin?



I guess first thing: Sometime around 6:30 last night, all neighbors within a quarter mile radius heard me shout, "It's ... ALIVE!!!" The Espar runs!. . sounds like a little jet engine whirring up, but quiet. And I felt like an evil genius when it fired. Thanks everyone for the help and support! It took me most all of Sunday to run the wiring and hook up the heater hoses--guess I better stick to my day job.



It was really great to meet everyone. I now have a rat's nest of names and handles to sort out. And many, many people to thank.



HemiDart:



BigDaddy brought the bits and we were all set to drill that 1-5/8" hole, but MoparMuscle had a better idea. We ended up using a compression fitting and elbow attached to an innocuous little barb sticking up from the sending unit.



tntway:



I'm with you, we should have fired'em all up and listened to the chorus. It's a beautiful noise.



VeeTenJeff:



Yea, looks like we should change both our handles. As for making more rails, I'd be willing to talk about it. Would you want them finished or unfinished?



Kevin, Nicole, and the other party that drove up with us:



I'm so sorry your names and handle elude me, please forward me a private message and re-introduce yourselves. Anyway, what a great time running a convoy!! Can anyone provide independant confirmation that my prop really spins?



BigDaddy:



Thanks for all the help, the drill bits, the advice, the moral support. The firewall hole went right next to those 'reference' sheet metal screws towards the driver's side door. The screws hold an electrical junction block and there's good space for passing the harness through behind it.



ToolManTim:



Hey, maybe we could help massdiesel out with the list you made at our last meet at Hooter's in Milford. Could you use some help with that? Like would you like to snail mail it to me so that I can pump it into the computer?



Also, have you seen my 3/8 x 4" socket extension?



HEYBOSS & Batman:



You two are pure devil-spawn and MoparMuscle is your priest, loaning me an EZ to try, taking me down the road in Batman's rig! John's ride isn't any help either. And Scott goin, "Look at the bird!" This is really getting to me--don't know how long I can hold out... .



MoparMuscle:



A huge Thank-you for your hands on help, your good advice, and not least a ride to every parts store in a 50 mile radius. It's amazing what you can accomplish in an hour when you have 500 horses at your disposal, isn't it?



massdiesel:



What can I say guy? You put it all together. I can't remember when I had a better time. Thanks for the beer, the burgers, the chili, the turkey.

Thanks for the lift! Looking back on it, I don't know how I'd have dropped that tank by myself, or how many days it would have taken. We'll do some business sometime, and maybe I can get you a list of names and emails in the meantime.



Thank you everyone for a great time, all your help, and all your knowhow!!!!!!!!!!



See you soon,

Matt

 

[BigDaddy]

Matt,



Your more than welcome. I am glad to help anytime.



John's idea was great. The manufacturer could save some dough with his idea and pass that savings onto the consumer. Trimming the price of the kit might help increase sales.



Go to NETDR Photos from October 13, 2001 for pics. Sorry, but I never did get a picture of those awesome bed rails you made.



Joe

BigDaddy

By the way how was the ride home? Was it a successful stop? or shouldn't I bother asking



Enjoyed your company as well the wife's and everyone else, we had a great time with Massdiesel's party.

 

[BigDaddy]

Fred,



Yes, we stopped for a few hours. Finally got home at 3:00 AM

I should have just given my $ to the wife She won what I lost Well, at least it stayed in the family

New radar equipment in Norfolk

Well guys, now we've gone and done it. After Saturdays festivities and MoparMuscles amusement ride, the Town of Noofolk, MA has desided that they need to do something about the excess speed in there town. Here is the new equipment they purchased

 

[HEYBOSS]

mwheaton

Are you sure you aren't some kind of a speech writer for the President? Could have sworn you were by the way you posted but, I don't see it on your profile. Glad you enjoyed and I think not enough can be said about Massdiesel for this terrific get together. Take care and I'll see ya next time if not sooner



Fred.

 

[HEYBOSS]

New radar equipment in Norfolk

Hey Batman; I wonder if that thing has an HO in it and what kind or turbo they're running

 

[Batman]

HEYBOSS

I think they stopped Jay and removed the HX40 you and Scott just put in

 

[Wheaties]

HEYBOSS

... well, I guess I could probably find a job at speech writing if I needed to, let's see, Fourscore and seven years ago... . " Yup, I think I could do it.



That doesn't change the fact that you and BATMAN are devils incarnate for putting an EZ on my truck, "so I can see how I like it. "



Either way, I guess it means we have the same employer?



Let me know when you're tired of that EZ and I'll see if I can buy it off you. Makes it an HOEZ? an ETHEZ? ... what?



Matt

 

[Batman]

Okay Matt, Now breath... ... ..... devil's incarnate? I'm an innocent bystander, really. Heyboss used HIS EZ on your truck. I just walked over to see how you liked it. Oh yeah, maybe I did have something to do with it since I toild Fred to take mine for a spin after I (Tcoombc and JES) installed Toolman's modified wastegate. So, how hard did Heyboss get on my loud pedal?? Should I be concerned??

George

 

[Wheaties]

not to worry Batman

Fred kept all the wheels on the ground and there was no smoke from the wheels themselves...



But I did get a good 'look at the bird' That turbo know's how to whine! And I really like the pwhoooosh it makes when you get back off it. Fred got to hear me say 'Holy I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER' more than once and I still think he was being nice to the neighbors.



You must really be enjoying all that push, will you be upgrading the seats to handle all the G's?



Nice ride !!!!!



Matt

Matt [/B]

That HO may not get along with a used EZ, you may want to try an Edge comp, than you'll definitely need to upgrade your seats, heck might even want to go with ejection seats and throw in a parachute to slow you down.



By the way very nice post, I guess some people can really put pictures into words.

 

[HEYBOSS]

mwheaton

pwhoooosh, you mean the toilet being flushed, not a small one either

 

[Batman]

Heyboss - Toilet?

 

[HEYBOSS]

Not to take it

Or make it sound the wrong way. If you were there when mwheaton said it and his expression it was so funny

Its to bad you didn't ride with us, you've had a ball, I couldn't stop laughing with mwheaton expressions.
