Bschwarzli: can't wait to see what you got up your sleeve!



Hhhuntitall: what did you have to do to that Chevy? Did someone put a bullet in it? :-laf

 

[RSchwarzli]

Hey hey hey. Don't you bring down this classy threa with talk of Chebys!!!!!!!

 

[Simplysmn]

Well you know Every Little Boy need's a Good BowTie

 

[RSchwarzli]

That's just it. Bow ties are for little boys. Men drive dodges.

:-lafI knew I liked you for a reason LOL :-laf

 

[SRay]

Hahahaha!!! Yup, little boys with clunkers

Bschwarzli: I'll leave the rabbit chasing to HHHUNTITALL. He's equipped for all that



Bschwarzli: can't wait to see what you got up your sleeve!



Hhhuntitall: what did you have to do to that Chevy? Did someone put a bullet in it? :-laf

Very well equipped, I might add.....



No, I killed the Chevy much slower in a passive aggressive way..... I added a programmer. With a short between the steering wheel and seat, it won't be long now... . :evil-laugh: (I wanted to put a bullet in it before I got done with it, but I didn't have anything labeled for "Turd" )

Sorry to hear you had to work on a shevy.



Wait till its done. I have WAAAAAY more up my sleeve!



Don't you have something to be doing like, chasing rabbits or something in the forest?

Those must be some loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sleeves... ...

Thanks sir! I am trying!

Small update:

I am having concerns the truck will not be finished in time for the Cummins meet. I have hit a few road blocks that took way too much time to solve. The rad, intercooler, and condenser have eaten up close to 20 hours on their own and it is not even done yet!!

So all in all, its looking tight. Not saying it cant be done, but we will see! Just not wanting y'all to get your hopes up!

End of mini update.

 

[SRay]

Bschwarzli: what went wrong to to cause issues with the rad, cooler, condenser? Didn't the truck had all that in there when you drove it for a year?

 

[RSchwarzli]

Well, yes. It had first gen parts. Lol



It now has aftermarket 2nd gen intercooler (read huge!!!), condenser from 2000, and rad from 2nd gen.



An for some reason I expected them to fix better. Lol

 

[HHhuntitall]

Ahhh, dissapointment. My constant companion... . I'm not even going to be able to go to the TDR rally, so I KNOW I won't get to see it!!! :{ :{ :{ ..... my buddy just asked me to be a groomsman at his wedding, as two of our friends are shipping out in the next two months... ... I had initially gotten out of it, as I had the TDR ralley scheduled, but now, I'm given little choice, unless I can really tick him off, somehow... . :{



SOOOO..... I know how you feel BSchwarzli... . Dissapointed. At least there's a possibility that you might get it there... .

 

[Shadrach]

Your not going to let little things like work get in the way of finishing the truck are you?

While it would be nice ( for all of us) to see the truck in Columbus sometimes things just weren't meant to be Shad

 

[SRay]

HH: got a tux made specifically for Sasquatch?

Well that sucks! Was hoping to finally meet the famous HH! :-laf

Well, I am sure there will be another round.....

No, I have actually also considered dragging it down in whatever form it is in at the time. Only issue is I would have to move in on and off a trailer at every event every day if it is not driveable! LOL

But agreed. if not meant to be, its not meant to be. But I am pushing for it. REALLY hard. Easter weekend was 40 hours on it so..... LOL And every night... . and waking minute I am not working.....

We will see. Time will tell.

 

[SRay]

Bschwarzli: if you're going to meet HH, maybe you should be prepared.



1. Got Sasquatch pepper spray?

2. Got body armor?

3. Got booby traps?

4. I'm sure there is something else, but can't remember.



Remember, you'll be on HIS turf. Sasquatchs don't take kindly to people invading their territories.



The W350 project, if you brought it down, might just be the thing to make him happy and not come after you.



he didn't just become famous for just working on many trucks.

BSchwarzli: I can't make it, but I say bring all of the parts with you. There will be more than a few 1st gen owners, not to mention 1st gen fans, like me, that could help finish it!

 

[SRay]

Jhumphries: that sounds like a great idea. Then truck will be finished in a day's time and Bschwarzli can drive it home.
