Archeological dig, or oil tank removal? I must have removed 20# of oil/dirt from around the oil tank.

Well Tyson, isn't that just peachy. I make some serious strides in getting my car back on the road and start feeling "pretty good " 'bout myself (and my year-long project) and then YOU come rolling up like some hoity-toity BIG-SHOT and flaunting "Hey guys, check out Tangie". Make me wanna puke will'ya.

Seriously Dude, nice car!

And yeah, Buddy! That oil tank was one of the messiest job I have EVER done on any car! This pic is after a LOT of clean up just so I could get the camera for a few pics!


Joe, call me when you get home!!

Ah, the "Overhaulin Syndrome."

If Tyson is your Foose, who is your "AJ?"

Well, she ran last night. So sweet! Open MFI stacks on an S spec motor at 6000 rpm is intoxicating!

It was around 11:30, so luckily I was just too tired to take her for a spirited test drive.

[Jeremy Cottrell]

Yes that is lucky, because your lic. plate panel would have gone flying.

[Doug&Julie]

So good to see somebody give that car what I couldn't.

BRAVO!!!

Oh man. The car looks and sounds great! I cant believe to got it together so fast.

Oh. Tysons groupies wanted to come by and watch Tyson pull, I mean crank his motor over. They werent buying the "Ill never post these on the internet" line so the clothes stayed on.

[}{arlequin]

that's a nice group but it's definitely NOT a flat six

[mjshira]

that is too funny.

[Flyer88]

Beer coming out of my nose on that one Harlequin!

[real550A]

Hm, somehow I keep thinking Widebody

[techweenie]

Dropped by last night to hear the old girl purr. Tyson took her out for a blast down the block and that little 2.5 he built broke her tires loose when it came on cam! Sweet sounding (and pristine looking) engine.

It now has headlights and soem other essentials -- with some of the goodies taken away from Scrappy -- causing Jeremy C to comment: 'does that mean Scrappy should be renamed Jennifer Aniston?'

[Jeremy Cottrell]

Poor Jennifer! How soon the passion fades. Hmm, maybe I could play Vince Vaughn in this sorded little soap opera? Whadda ya think Tyson, I'll take her off your hands. I'll make her forget all about you.

[Tyson Schmidt]

Jeez, I'm no Brad Pitt. Besides, he probably can't drive a stick.

If Steve McQueen were alive today, I'd like to think he could pull both those hotties away from Brad. He's a real man.



Anyway, yeah, I took Tangerina out for a blast last night and it was pretty gratifying. Like Bill said, I rolled on the throttle, and once the revs hit 3K, I stood on it. She came up on the cam, and the ass-end stepped out! The only downside was that I'm running a stock muffler. It think the sport muffler is going on her tonight. It's just too quiet.
