Yet another Washingtonian (SW)
« on: March 27, 2012, 05:29:54 PM »
Howdy all been lurking here awhile, finally decided to post. Been duning about a dozen years now. Mostly with my current car. Did the VW thing for a couple years but the call of a V8 was too much. I have been running this car almost 10 yrs. now. Oregon dunes and St. Anthony at least once or twice a year. I liked St. Anthony so much I bought a cabin there a few years ago. Since the oop's pic I have installed front brakes and electric power steering , BIG difference. Nothing beats running with a big group in Idaho. A bunch of us will be there mid July this year.

Welcome aboard.  Nice looking car. 

Looks like a Tech3?  Like the axles?

Yep, Tech-3, Good eye! The axles are heavy but QUIET and they take the angles well. They have held up fine for several years now.

Tec 3 for sure.  lIke the frame.  They seem to take the v8's real well.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Of course there is always somebody right there with a camera eyes. Just got too loud and ran out of talent and real estate to stop before the drop off, hence the front brakes. Pretty cheap fix, a spindle and a couple tie rods(needed to upgrade anyway)and now front brakes!

Thanks, the scoop was a swap meet find to hide that big ugly plastic truck intake manifold. (I am not a chevy guy but the LS was the best bang for the buck, and besides that you will be able to buy small block parts at Safeway soon ;D)
