And be careful what you wish for. My back was tan and my belly was white, from leaning over that motor at the river. ;) That was mostly my fault tho, I was pushing it way too hard. |
I love this story, dunno why. Guess something's wrong with me:
I had sent my vertex mag off to Joe Hunt to work his magic. The day it came back I was ohhhing and aweing over it, showing my friends the coolest thing in the world. My girlfriend came out of the house and asked what the big deal was so I showed her the new toy. She said what does it do? I said, as the horns grew out of my haid, it's easier to show you than to try and explain it. Here, hold onto this and this. Then I grabbed the input shaft and gave it a spin, whcich sounds easier than it was. She screamed and jumped a foot easy. Darned near made me drop the magneto. She was crying, I was laughing, she moved out, I missed her but eventually got over it. (I had hit myself earlier just to see what it felt like. It scared her, hurt a bit, but wasn't dangerous) |
Hot Rod Pics
This is not really about the hemi re-build, but a fellow pelican asked to see more pics of my hotrod and I couldn't figure out how to send privately, so you'll all have to pay no mind.

I have an all original, never been rebuilt 58 392 from a new yorker stashed in my garage. 70,000 miles on it! I had to replace the head gasket back when i got it and then drove it for a year. It needs to be pulled apart and hot tanked before its driven again because of the non detergent oil build up in it, but its a really solid motor.
I should put it in something. |

Yeah, they're getting a bit scarce. Nice engine. Nothing says POWER like a Hemi. Hang on to it.
