I like it. Is this going to be a driver or do you plan on doing some drag racing with it?

Head custodian at a Chevy dealership? You mean you are the service manager then.

No real plans for truck. Just have fun with it. I don't need it for work and I don't need it to work.

I'm not a fan of the heat, but cost of living and my wage make me stay here in AZ. It's horrible for 2.5-3 months a year, rest of the time it's nice. I don't own a pair of pants and only have a couple of lite sweaters.

Subscribed. Do you (and Giles for that matter) expect the 14MM to live more than a couple hours? (Or minutes for that matter...)

As to how long the pump will live? Not sure it's been on the road before, been down the track and it's still ticking. I'm not planning on jumping in the truck and driving to Canada though, and my AAA membership is paid up. It's just a toy, when/if it breaks I just want to be having fun.

The rust free thing is nice. Free sand blast and sun baking do work. The sand storms get pretty nasty!

When that thing gets off the jack stands in 2020 I'll expect to see you up here. I'll meet you at Giles' place. Friday afternoons are good there.

You think this is a NASCAR pit stop! That's only a blink of an eye. Friday nights good night for whiskey and BS sessions?

NASCAR? Fine. We'll have him fly over.

Him & Giles can work on heads & VEs while we drink beer & shoot the *****.

I think Fondler should show up when we drive back to my sharecropping patch.

I have barns that need roofing. Fondler can work for free while you & I cruise DTR.

We make him polish junk 351s & change headlamp switches after diagnose with oscilloscope.

You need to bring a beer fetcher. Fondler the youngest of the group but will be doing actual manual labor for sharecropper barn. Please bring someone easy on the eyes.

What's our time frame on this? In Canada it's frozen 11.75 months out of the year? Mid August I assume it's about 38-40*F? I may have to buy a pair of pants.

How about I bring Pamela Anderson to fetch beers. She’s a local Canadian BC’er, so she can catch a ride with me
Mid Aug it is....only going to be above freezing for 3 days, so I hope Fondler works fast.
Pants and a wool sock are mandatory. The good news is we don’t need ice for our beers here. Always frosty
