8.8 in the 85

[Der Bugmeister]

I have to admit, fellas, that I too was wondering what was being talked about. But I hesitated asking a question and revealing my ignorance. So by being quiet I'm seeming smarter.

But I didn't know what the 8.8 was, either! I apologize for being such a chicken.

In the same vein, 10 bolt and 12 bolt rear ends (usually referring to GM stuff) is the number of bolts on the ring gear, not the number of bolts that hold the rear cover on.  Common misconception...

the pile of parts continues to grow

I was under that missconception myself

I know the answer to that question..ooh, ooh, pick me Mr. Kotter!

The answer is, the biggest ass meats he can fit without the wheelwell shredding the hell out of em!

As is common knowledge, these projects will nickel and dime one to death. It's just another $100

[Der Bugmeister]

If only it were still just nickels and dimes!  This stuff adds up way faster than it used to!

[Elroy]

This stuff adds up way faster than it used to!

AND another $100 of miscellaneous crap. Pardon me, it was ONLY $96.81

At least Elroy got the quad shock mounts blasted before running out of sand.

What's Elroy's take on those over engineered spray paint cans? No wonder the can gets smaller and the price goes up...

well that's all HD had on the shelf in that brand. haven't used any of it yet. we'll let ya know.

[Elroy]

got most of the rear sway bar cleaned up before the rains hit.

[Elroy]

the rains have come and gone long enough to get some primer on the sway bar.

[Elroy]

too far ?

what do you say ?

[Elroy]

too far ?

what's the consensus ?

[Der Bugmeister]

I'd be doing it.

Mind you, after my current build apparently there's not a lot I won't do!

[Uncle Buck]

It's always nice working with cleaned and freshly painted parts.
