I'm going to start on your parts in the A.M.

 

[seth247]

cool.

I got a couple things to do to make the truck presentable before i head up there to pick them up.

Fix the dam ashtray that the mexicans broke and clean out some trash and all that.

Oh yeah AND my rear view freakin mirror came off again.

I just glued it back on not three-four months ago.

 

[seth247]

Damn You Microsoft!!1!

 

[Turdle]

WTF??^^^

It was very good to meet you Matt.
You didn't even put hurt on my beer supply. Now that is a real true friend I tell ya!!
It took a little longer than expected but Matt took home some real purty stuff. I'm glad you made it home safely!!

 

[seth247]

Thanks jon. I had a good time and got some great lookin stuff.

And my dad loves the colors.

Pics in a minute.

 

[seth247]

Powdercoating Pics.

Before

After

As usual, the camera pics do not do these colors justice. had a great time
hangin out with Jon and (trying) to help out. (AKA getting in the way)

unfortunately my stupid self dropped the throttle bracket putting it in the car
and chipped it. but oh well it still looks good.

also unfortunately the "ultimate chrome" that we used on the valve covers
had some kind of argument with the clear coat that we put over it. no
matter what we tried it would turn silver when we cleared it.
but they still look great!

all in all excellent looking stuff!

Very good work, and I really like that red too.

 

[seth247]

yeah that red is Very nice.

My machinist is dead busy so he hasn't finished the stuff yet.

Block has been decked though. As have the heads I think.

I'm kinda glad cause I need to store a couple paychecks before I hear that bill.

Jon, I did that whole trip on one tank of gas!

 

[Turdle]

That is excellent --

Matt was showing his truck off to my wife, daughter and friend last night. I thought they ought to see it's ultra coolness

My daughter Kinnie said" ohh nice, I want one!"

 

[seth247]

hhhhhmmmm...

Super cool. Yes

Mega cool. Okay but it's a strech.

But ultra cool... That may be fudging the numbers just a little bit.

note for future:

Do not burn stupid self on jons oven.

You didn't-

did you?

How bad?

 

[seth247]

yeah I was bending down to pick up the valve covers or something and backed into the side, remember?

It's not bad, it's right on the beltline so it's bugging the begeesus out me.

Just a lesson to be more aware of my surroundings.

 

[Turdle]

Oh-not a good place at all. Sorry about that. It's easy to forget that big ol door is hot--

 

[seth247]

fairly uncomfortable but beer makes the pain go away

 

[seth247]

after measuring jon's tcase and comparing to the space I have between the frame rails I have decided that I Can fit a bw4406 with possible slight trans relocation and maybe a little notch in the frame.

What models/years was this tcase available with the 4r70w?

 

[seth247]

??

I know it's late 90's f150s and expeditions but not the years.
