Like a 10 foot nose dive off a lift?But as with all horror stories that come from leaving your car with a shop,…I got mine too. ( Mine’s just not as bad as some others)

Where have you been hiding?The Monster is looking great Mike! I just made a "Cliff's Notes" attempt of catching up on this thread.
The short version is: Life had/has me by the choke-holdWhere have you been hiding?
All I know is that if for whatever reason I decide to street race anybody the next time i’m in Mississippi and I happen to be doing that in front the local PD,…..The short version is: Life had/has me by the choke-hold

Moved back with my mom and stepdad in 2019 to get back on my feet
COVID
Bought my house this past February
Just got promoted on my job(NOFD)
I just don't have much free time to turn wrenches on the car and not a lot of time to get here much.
You thought we were racing!!! When I realized you might be racing me I started to reel you in but the d@mn local police disturbed me!All I know is that if for whatever reason I decide to street race anybody the next time i’m in Mississippi and I happen to be doing that in front the local PD,…..
Id much rather that you’d be the other guy.
You need to get your sht fixed…So I can beat that ass again.
Well….according to one of the ”witnesses”….he said:You thought we were racing!!! When I realized you might be racing me I started to reel you in but the d@mn local police disturbed me!
But you hit me right it heart with that one, Mike. Don't you get all mushy on me, buddy.
As for the car, I have to pull the cam out to take back to Cam Motion so they can check it and hopefully polish out the scarring that the lifter failure did. And when I put it back together I'll finally put my Stinger PiMP ECU in and get to tuning it myself. But I'm actually about to buy another body to switch all my stuff over to. A buddy of mine told me about to 88 4cyl coupe that a young guy inherited from his grandfather and its just been sitting in the yard of the body shop he works at for over a year. Hopefully i'll have it by the end of next week. I'll be getting it ready over the course of time for the swap...ie thru the floor subframe connectors, 10pt rollcage, tubular frontend, minitubs, rear coilovers, new k-member/a-arms/coilovers. I even thought about going with MM torque arm and panhard setup, but I like tailpipes and that would be difficult with the panhard setup. I have time to decide on that part. All this is because when I swap everything over I'll put a turbo on too.
Perception is everything, I guess.Well….according to one of the ”witnesses”….he said:
“Have a good night, and,….You had him”
Ill have to defer to the guys actually watching the race,…You know, the ones right behind us?….With the blue flashing lights?
I hope you get everything going your way,…Hopefully you’ll be able to source a dart block. I think i’m already at or beyond SBF stock block failure power levels.
Mike aren’t you former military? I thought I read that somewhere, maybe your previous deleted thread?I hope you are planning to take a defensive handgun course.
As a byproduct of my employment since the millennium as well as family indoctrination, firearms are a way of life. Good on you Mike for being prepared. I would second the holster on your body. If there was a serious collision and any type of altercation resulted, you might be digging around the broken glass and broken body panels to find your sidearm while pissed off Joe redneck comes at you with his tire iron. Or unexpected emergency egress, you don’t have to remember (under duress) to grab your sidearm. Just some food for thought. Carry on, sir.I'm not a fan of car mounts, and certainly not a fan of loose bags like that. I'd recommend a good fitting holster and belt. And training.
I do not intend to carry. Neither concealed or open. I only want this thing for the reason I bought it. And if the times were different, maybe I wouldn’t need to even entertain the notion of a “ what happens if” and felt the need to even buy one.I hope you are planning to take a defensive handgun course. Not a quickie "minimum necessary to get you CC permit" but an extended class to teach you how to properly defend yourself.

is there a clip on style holster that lets me store the gun in its holster, and while driving, snap it onto my belt?Mike aren’t you former military? I thought I read that somewhere, maybe your previous deleted thread?

There are tons of kydex holsters to choose from. Hell if its the same size frame as a S&W like mine i can even make you one. I'll look and see if taurus copied the smith, they likely did.is there a clip on style holster that lets me store the gun in its holster, and while driving, snap it onto my belt?
