Build Thread '83 T-top Coupe - Welding Holes in My Rear

[bird_dog0347]

Yeah Matt, PayPal definitely.

It has the 3.55’s in it. That’s as tall as I would want to go.

Pallet is a good idea too.

You will for sure want either a couple of buddies to help unload it or an engine jack... it's a chore getting it out of a truck bed by hand.

The rear is heavy. Two people would make it a lot easier. I wasn't that fortunate.

Mine has the factory 3;55 gear.

You pussies, just pick up the whole thing yourself and throw it in the truck!

yeah i did the same thing, when i added the blower the 3.73 were way too short, so i went all the way down to a 3.08 still looses it in 2nd gear easy...

2:73s and I still have no traction.

 

[Noobz347]

If I did have traction, I would probably have spit the T5 out all over the road already.

hah I as well, I run a stock clutch as a "fuse"

That's my reasoning too. The T5 will last longer so long as I keep my back tires at 245' along with the steep gears and my the smoke show keeps the clutch and T5 alive for another day of fun.

The post before yours means nothing though. Hmmmm

Yeah you keep telling yourself that. Such are the circumstances when running a G78-14 tire.....

If you'd man up and get a "bigger pair" I might consider nominating you to join the 315 club..

He replied right at the same time I posted. I tried to add his post to Matt's, but I couldn't figure it out. He deserves the same though. Wait, I'll get another one.

If I go to mini tubbing the car I will likely disappear..... my body may never be found.

We have commitment! The IRS is mine! He sent me a couple more pictures after he dropped it out.

So Saturday I'll hit the road at about 5:00 am and head for Waco! Yay me! I should be back up to Dallas by two easy enough for Burgers and Beers.

Can you imagine how pretty that IRS will be when i'm through with it?

 

[Davedacarpainter]

AND btw, the wife is ok with me going! I'm in the clear!

Of course in two weeks I have to take her to Waco to visit Chip and Joanne Gains Store.......oh well, that's ok.

My wife would love to go there.

You're lucky. I love going on lone road trips.

My girl loves it when I go on road trips hummm I'm begining to wonder.
