its the opposite for me. I speak it very well. But my handwriting/typing cant keep up with how fast my mind thinks. So my handwriting is horrible. My words skip around etc. Probably accounts for me screwing aroudn to much. im in a college level in everything except grammar. But i just float through school. gives me more time for after school activiies

yea i meant it that way. Not in a negative way.

No, thank you! for serving our country.

I guess theres just somethings that you say in real life. That dont sound right when you put it ont he internet unless its Very correct english and grammar. Which im not fond of paying attention to.
So no offense, i am thanking him. In my head i just cant figure out a way to post it with out it looking wrong.

I figured. Some times I read the posts real fast, because I'm at work. I guess, in haste, I didn't realize there was a comma missing. I hope I didn't offend you.

I think i got a little defensive fast so if i cuased any hard feelings I'l appologize right now. My mind just types faster than my fingers sometimes.

yea dont worry about it. We all make mistakes. I was just quick to rectify it because of my history of being banned alot...So i didnt wanna get banned.

moving on

today,
I went to autozone and bought a clutch return spring. Installed it.
Reinstalled tank and lines
tried to yank out the seat but didnt have the tools

And i went and priced a new stereo and equipment. My first cousin is engaged to the 2nd loudest db drag car owner. Owns his own shop in tahlequah. Names Chris something.
ive been thinking about getting a 60/'40 split bench with a fold down seat/center console thing. Hes going to install my seats for me. And then put 2 10 inchers under the seats. (no dont worry i dont play rap. Its just nice to have more of a bump when skynyrd plays) and some 6x9s in the doors. Etc etc.

Anthony where is pegg oklahoma? do you know where alva oklahoma is? just wondering ...Terry..

Cool, sounds like it's coming along. I'd change that oil and coolant, after 10 years it isn't any good even if it looks okay.
352's are cool too in that they're kind of an odd-ball engine.

[A_G]

terry, i do know where it is. but its like 300 miles west of me. i live 50 miles from arkansas.

no real update. ice storm. last time i checked nothing fell on the truck. it does look like an ice chest in the back of the truck. im still out of power im here with my inlaw at nsu on the computer

update update. Well today i went out and aired up the tires. They all had air in them already. So i filled them up to 20 psi to see if any of them will lose air by tomoro.w

then i hooked up my tow chain to it and pull it out of where it was setting. And then on to some dry ground.

If i hadnt said this already i had slapped the carb on and what not. Only thing i lacked was a fuel nipple. ITs got all fluids except radiator. I had it all filled up and then it leaked out of the bottom hose. I have donor battery coming my way. By monday i should have the stuff i need to fire her up and drive her back to the house.

damage for today. Broke a wel on my 96 bumper. I had the chain connected to th eframe. But it didnt clear the bumper. And just broke tack weld. So one day my parents arent home. Im goin gto weld it back on. ( ijust reinstalled my front bumper after about 3 months of it being off)

sorry no pics. dead battery.

im trying to get it road driving by 3-18-07

Last ran in 97
dad got it when he was 17
I turn 17 on 3-18-07

so i have 22 days...

Wish me luck.

Progress is a good thing, , but I still hope you plan on changing that oil before running it. 15 year old oil won't be worth a darn.
And check your master cylinder level and check the brake lines and hoses very carefully. I can almost guarantee after ten years it's going to need some brake work. Drive with extra caution.

[A_G]

it has new oil.
Im doing some brake work tomorow.
New plugs
new wires...
New diff oil (waiting to be filled)

[RebelRider]
