I ordered some fine art for my shop bathroom project. Some of you who have been around for a while might recognize all 3 cars.

Also, we finally got the driveway paved yesterday. My favorite part is the 20x40 pad next to the existing driveway which used to be a mud hole. We’ve finally got room to park and turn around. The rest of it is pretty cool too, I guess.

I really need to take the car apart and put the heads on and fix a few leaks, but man it’s nice to just drive it.

That fine art work!
Kick ass the new driveway, shop, ect.(no burn outs on the soft asphalt for a year)
The plumbing under the vanity needs a turbo...

Over all outstanding work! I give it three monkeys!


Timid-overexcitable- and hungover monkeys want to party in the MAN cave.

What ya doing with that much propane?
What kind of woods the vanity top again?

The cabinet box and vanity top are all walnut. I’ll get around to making the doors soon.

Tomorrow, I’m taking the car up to Dallas for the week for work meetings and stuff. This is hopefully going to be low key and uninteresting. Hopefully....
I’ll update as I progress.

I made it to site #1 - about 230-ish miles on 1 tank. Not too bad! Stiff head wind and a slightly fat AFR (14.3) to boot.

nice, I like to taget 14.7 if ego is setup correctly it will hold with .1 of target... you can run leaner if you increase the timing in the cruise range a bit

Yeah, would have loved to have had my laptop I use for tuning with me to adjust it slightly. But either way, I think it's pretty cool that it did that well. right at 2500rpm @ 80mph.

So I park the car on a construction site knowing full well that it’ll get some dust. What I did not expect, however, was to walk out and find a guy with a backpack blower standing in front of my car covering the thing in dirt. Literally. I had to blow a layer of dirt off my windshield so I could see out. I’m debating emailing the subcontractor and going full Karen on them but I need to calm down a little more first. FFS.

I would have strangled the guy with starter cord on the blower.


it would have been justified
