Anybody heard of these guys in Ponder?

~Rob

 

I got some good friends that live there (WELL Dish...but its very close).......ill ask them....

BUT sweet! New dyno in the North Texas area!

 

I'm thinking about making some major improvements. Whatta ya think?

 

I think that fire ring won't hold much oil (or tranny fluid or whatever other liquid we decided should be "recycled"), too many holes.
That "accessory" with the first shower stall would be nice too
Is that red thing for the Crown?

~Rob

 

I think we would have to dig a permanent "pit" of the fire ring.

That's no "accessory".......that's my new ranch hand.

 

Yeah, have another beer Charlie

~Rob

 

Great now the pictures are posted and Charlie can see how big the fire really got!! Don't punish me... I was just trying to 'fix' it!!

Sure seemed to be alot of pictures of BrIan and Robert working and not a whole lot of anybody else working!! I think I should try the other side one of these days!!

 

The hose and some shampoo did me wonders!! Who needs a green privacy fence??

 

Hey, don't you have a final to study for and a head to remove to get o-ringed, a gasket to replace etc. etc. etc.

This is my favorite pic, you two look so cozy:


~Rob

 

Now just throwing this out there cause the pres got me thinking... Not that I have the $$ laying around for a ringed head that I still dont know where it is coming from.... But somebody tell me bout cams... Is the Helix II my only option?? anybody else cut cams?


Anybody want to buy my HOVP44?? lol

 

I think I was dying in that picture... Wasn't feeling to cheery and happy at that point... throat hurt, back hurt (Not for reasons shown in the picture ), couldn't breath etc.... oh I was about to find out that my HG was blown....

I'm not one to put ideas in one's head, but how about a p-pump and mechanical fuel pump conversion while you're at it?

Having a "spare" VP is not a bad idea.
