I have a SHITLOAD to do...but I first need to finish building my studio (now literally just a few more weeks of work) and get a few more needs (mostly tools).

I wanna change my garage door (need #1), to a roll-up affair, in order to make room for another need (#2); a two post asymmetrical lift. I also plan to get (#3) a rotisserie, a body lift gantry attachment for my engine crane (#4) and a TIG welder/Plasma cutter (#5).

Could I make do without all that? Probably. I've done more with less before, but like you said, I have a LOT to do...and I'm not as young, or as mobile as I used to be. If I'm going to manage to do justice to these cars, I'm going to need to make it as easy as possible...

Fuck, I wish I lived in California, where it's dry. This is fucking sick.

Composite "wood" is probably a good idea.

Love the 'Vette without the bump in the hood, incidentally.

[Avatard]

Yeah, that hood was fucking criminal. Almost as bad as having a slushbox.

















Nah.

[Particle Man]

I'd rather have the hood

There's green algae, moss, whatever the fuck, growing on even the plastic shit in the yard; like that Rubbermaid shed...and even the vinyl siding of the house. The house is actually grey, but you wouldn't know it...most of it's pretty fucking green. Textured too, from where the slugs eat little swirly trails through the green shit.

Shit's just fucking gross, man. Jersey eats a dick. How I came to be here is a long, sad story, but suffice to say, I kinda feel like I got punked. If I wasn't nearly underwater with this joint, and I wasn't already nearly 90% done the studio, I'd be gone already.

If I go out in the yard, I come in with at least 2 ticks. Woke up the other day with one suckling on my left nip. I had a hot, feverish, B-cup left boob for 3 days (giggity).

If this place didn't have a honking A/C unit that knocks all the moisture down to tolerable levels, I'd have gone totally fucking postal already. In the 5 minutes outside it took to snap those pics, I totally soaked my shirt.

Jersey may have its own slogans, but I'm sticking with mine:

NJ; moist as a fat girl's buttcrack

I'll stick with CNY

Like the yellow K5.

Always thought those were cool.

Turns out twenty four year old vac hose doesn't hold boost well. Hit fuel cut on the way to school yesterday, took a look and the line is ballooned around the nipple on the vac can. Awesome, guess I'm building a new vac harness soon

"Overnight parts from japan"

Fixed all the leaks and added the boost controller. Making a nice 10psi now,
