Congrats, Pete!!!! I'm sure it will be another in your long list of perfect works of art in motion.

I have to ask... I don't know why it's in my head... But I have to ask, "Did you check the rhyme before you choose a 406?"


She's real fine my four oh six
She's real fine my four oh six
My four oh six

Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
'fore I knew there would be a time
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
When I would buy a brand new four oh six
(four oh six, four oh six)
Giddy up giddy up giddy up four oh six
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
Giddy up four oh six
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
Giddy up four oh six
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
Giddy up 40...

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my four oh six
four oh six ooooo
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up)

When I take her to the track she really shines
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
She always turns in the fastest times
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
My four speed dual carb posi-traction four oh six
(four oh six, four oh six, four oh six, four oh six)

Giddy up giddy up giddy up four oh six
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
Giddy up four oh six
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
Giddy up four oh six
(Giddy up giddy up four oh six)
Giddy up 40...

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my four oh six
(four oh six four oh six four oh six four oh six)
Giddy up four oh six
(four oh six four oh six four oh six four oh six)
Giddy up four oh six
(four oh six four oh six four oh six four oh six)
Three more CIs and ... well nvm :P

In the interm, I will install my 1/2 shaft safety loops, shoot a coat of paint on the rusty exhaust, and maybe wash it.
Stay tuned....

Pete,
We have a lot of juvenile bufoons on this forum. I have always thought of you as being above that and have admired your technical knowledge and willingness to help your fellow man.

The "**** off the neighbors " thing surprises me. If someone had told me you said that, I would have called them a liar. Wow.

With me the list is also long and distinguished. It further surprises me that you don't seem to care.

Wow!!
