Default Busy day at at the ranch (pics and vids)

Brian Cuningham flew out to hang out for a few days to cehck out some parts weve picked up for his build and get out of the Denver cold. My place looks like an auto parts store. Heads, intake, blower, motor parts, and now a B&B exhaust a (new) member andrew_huh brought over.



Andrew signed up a few days ago, found him selling parts on Craigslist.
Has a gorgeous 96 LT4 CE that sits perfect...He showed up with Brains exhaust.....We ventured over to my machinist who now has him almost talked into adding some CI to his forced induction product. It never ends

Took him for a ride in the Z, shot a quick video clip...Dont think Ive ever hit 100 that quick before (not in the vid)



Lastly he offerered me to pilot his LT4...Nice flat torque curve in those, car drives like new. Oh, and dont miss 3rd gear when the owner has 18 inch arms.
Looks like we got another C4 guy to go drag racing with. no waxers allowed here


Diggin the muff elimns..



Lastly Central Coaster pops in and grabbed some Chinese food, they didnt even charge us for the booster seat.

OK did Bryan's Brains show up at the same time he did or were they shipped separately !

I wished my living room looked like that but I'm a single man whose 34 year old daughter lives in my house and owns several # 17 in. cast iron skillets a couple that have dent in the bottom about the size of my head !
When I was young Me and my room mate parked our bikes in the living room and at times had a 327 in parts being built laying around.

I have a friend who retired recently and bought two old houses on a really large lot .
He is rebuilding them and he built a garage/ shop twice the floor space of both houses.

He's Single of course !

My nephew married a Blondie who he met in automotive repair school and she is a better wrencher than he is.
Now for a gearhead or racer or someone with a lead foot thats a match made in heaven!LOL
