I was Just Driving around on Sat and I was Stopped at the Lights and the Bug Just Died :confused:
So I pushed it off the Road and got out the Tools and Stated looking at it it Turned over Strong but just Wouldn't Fire then I Notedess that there was No gas in the Fuel Filter :rolleyes: So thought it wasn't getting gas So I called a Tow truck and got it towed home but when it got home the filter had Gas in it again So Now I think it's the Coil SO I'll Get Johns to Ship me one tomorrow and try that. So I may make it I may not.

Hey Boys long long time, let me tell you all working alone is hard my respects to those who works by themselves.

Yesterday I started my car after a few little hic-ups. My carbs we leaking, my floats where not adjusted properly and I had no spark to my Mallory Ignition Box. I got those sorted out and BAAAAAAAM :eek: ……For the first time in five years I finally heard the beast roar, what a RUSH. I was happy like Pig in S**T or ants on fat get my drift.

My next task tomorrow is to raise the car. The car was so low that my muffler is 1” off the floor. Looks awesome for not drivable unless I plan to change mufflers every two weeks. Tomorrow in my B’ day and I am gonna raise my suspension by two notches, adjust my clutch and try to meet you guys at California's . I will be needing directions and time of the venue.
Wish me luck and hopefully I will be there………….LATER…….LOL:cool:

California's is in a plaza on the north side of the QEW between Dixie and Cawthra on the west side of the 427. The plaza is accessed from the North service road heading east from Cawthra. There is no access from Dixie.

We can either meet there, or at Dixie Mall by the Tim Hortons. Dixie mall is on the south side of the QEW east.

So, hows 7:30 at Dixie mall, then cruise on over to Californias for 8pm?

I'll take some pics.

Last night there was 4 bugs and Lanner rolled in later with the bus. Started yapping for a while, and ended up being the last group of cars out of there at almost 11pm. Was a good night. Took my camera but left the battery in the charger at home.:banghead:

Next Wednesday?

Decklid standoff's for Greg.

gonebuggy
September 13th 2007, 07:42
How many pieces are we looking at? The ones i've seen are very simple, and wouldn't require cnc, unless he wanted more then say 20 pieces.

Remember, if it's done on the CNC it's through the shop ($75.00 an hour) but if it's done manual, it's done through me for significantly less.

So it comes down to 2 main things: The complexity/accuracy required and the number of pieces. If you're looking at having ones made similar to the one on Gregs car. Those are very simple to do on a manual machine, but I wouldn't want to do more then about 20 pieces.

Figure out what you guys want, and the quantity and get back to me. I'll see what we can do.

Is this for a removable decklid like Greg has or just a stand-off (removable) ?

Thanks

Sandeep, it's for the standoff at the bottom.
Alex, give me a price on making 19 :D
Pete, you asking so you can finish the one you're doing, or to make more?

petevw
September 14th 2007, 07:24
To make more for you. The one i'm trying to get together i should be done next week (night shift). I can only spend time on it when i'm not busy.

Pimping it out to a CNC shop is the way to go.

September 14th 2007, 08:02
Alright, well I spoke with our main cnc guy, and it looks like I may be able to swing an after hours/under the table deal. So get me a sample, and a number of pieces. And I'll get a quote for you.

East on QEW, get off at Cawthra. North on Cawthra over the QEW and turn right down the North Service Road. Follow till you see the plaza on the right.

:D :D First time at California's on Wednesday:laugh: lol
I was shocked at the amount of cars that were there. This was my first time at California's and first time I took the car on a first long 1.5 hrs drive. Meet some new friends and we hooked up with Lanner and he took us to
California's. I the weather is still good, maybe one more last drive before I pack it in and pull the motor and tranny.:D it was funnnnnnnnnn......
