Will this be the weekend that the Longhorn moves under it's own power?
 

Say WHAT??? :eek:

I think the planets and there moons are lined up right, i think the bad luck is going to sit this one out... (knock on woodgrain)
This weekend will be the weekend that the Longhorn makes smoke.
I still don't know it that'll be tranny smoke or tire smoke...but dammit, SOMETHING is going to smoke. :burnout: :confused: :rolleyes: :cool:

Cool, keep us posted!. Hope everything works out good.

Even if it doesn't smoke, some different door panels should make it look fast!!!(inside joke)

Go Go Go Go Go,,,,,GO GO Go ,,,,,,,,You can do it !!!!!!!

I want videos of the burnout!

If any body can do it before the ol' fat man arrives, Andy can do it!

Pics and a video WILL be taken if it works out.
My camera sucks at getting exhaust sound....kinda ticked me off. I was gonna get a clip of the GMC with the rod hammering away over the uncorcked headers...you couldn't hear jack on that clip. :rolleyes:
Anyways, I figured 2004 has been one of (if not THE) worst year of my life...ppl droppin dead all around, car accidents, engines crapping out onto the floor, dad fallin out of the sky and landing on his nose....I figure I have everything I need now (still short a starter...but I'll get one friday probably) I doubt I can have much more bad luck this year.

it took me 2 days when I thought it would take an hour to get my damn Monte running, anyone else ever put the fuel pump in and forget to put the actuator rod inm first?, Doh! lets hope for the best and laugh at the worst :D

You did that too Hooter? lol Took me about 3 hours till I spotted the rod sitting on the bench, DOH!

Andy, i am sure you can make it smoke.even if it needs a full tank of gas ,a rag stuffed in the spout and a bic lighter!!I am sure it well be fine but we need pics dude

Good luck!

I haven't been around here on this board all that long,but if I was to make a bet I would say Longhorn Man is going to smoke the tires.You seem to be very knowledgeable and mechanically compentant.

I want to see some tires SMOKIN!!!!!! :)

Good luck Andy. If I had the means I'd come help ya out..or at least drink beer and watch. :D

andy i need a new pic on my desktop, so lets get one of you burning the hides off that s.o.b

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Andy!!!!!

your making me afraid to post on the forum ... you have 26k and that sounds like the ultimate of sh*tty years ..

my digi doesn't do sounds :(

I dont have to tell ya to keep us posted

:burnout:

Hey Andy I'll cross my fingers for you. Good luck man, latter the cheese. :D :bowtie: :bowtie:

LIGHT THEM UP BABY! I believe in ya.

Haven't done that but how bout trying to pre oil and engine when you forgot the oil pump shaft? :lol: count me in as doing that one HAHAHA

Andy, I think if you get your ducks all lined up in a row beofre turning the key, you'll do alright buddy. keep us updated ya ol slut you :lol:

A good coat of wax should help tooo..

Man , I love the smell of tire smoke in the morning :D you need a clip on a 2nd gear burnie.....those 4.57's in the rear will spin that cad up really quick(got a few crunched up Caddy valve springs left over as a reminder) ;) best of luck, crazyL :burnout:

good luck andy!! i just hope there is no fire under that smoke :lol:

Oh crap...thanks Jamie....I didn't even think of a fire makin smoke. Now i'm scared. ;)

71-longbed...that list is the short version. :eek:

Crazy Al...mine has 4.10/4.11 (can never remmeber which...dislexia is a hctib. :confused:
It'll still go through the gears like nothing though.
Tim...the slut thinks all the duckies are lined up, but in all reality, it has been a while since I messed with it. Hell...I was still livin there, so it was about 5 months ago.


Yeah...some one sitting around drinkin my alcohol while I bust ass on my rig....like i really need that! ;)c :metal:
Actually, I'd like to see some of you hang with me...I normally keep a bottle of jack with me on these kinds of jobs. Don't get drunk...just a constant good buzz. That way when you crush your finger, it doesn't hurt as much. ;)

Andy can't wait to see your pics and vids...Smoke them tires!

I voted just to be a smart a## :lol: :D
good luck

Funny....everyone who posts something, says good things...yet, 60% of the poll says it ian't gonna happen. :confused:
We'll see if the minority rules.

I'm hoping for tire smoke for ya too.Sounds like it's gonna be a busy weekend,If I was a little closer I'd drop in and give ya a hand or two.

Good luck

I'm just not gonna vote...LOL Good luck with it man, you should give me a phone call if she runs :devil: I should be here.....:D

If I say I'll call you, then I probably won't. Thats how it always seems to go...so I'll just say NO I WON'T CALL. ;)

where's the option for parts falling out of the pan? just kidding. I have a lot of faith in you Andy. after all any guy who is capable of repairing a hy-rail system is sure able to get his own truck running.

good luck andy....can we see some before pics? i've never seen the old longhorn....i wanna see some tires get ROASTED.....none of that pansy crap..... if that thing runs good i wanna see the truck dissappear behind the fog...

lol

Andy,
I'm pretty confident that you'll get r done. Just think if you've got snow on the roads you won't need to much to get the wheels spinning. Best of luck.

Don

Andy i think you will get it running,and i need more pics of the install.Remember i am going with the 500 and keep asking you to update your pics?Now lets see some SMOKE!!!!!

And the good Lord said, "Let there be smoke." At least I think that he said that. :burnout:

I voted tire smoke dude! :metal:

get her going, i want to see some more '67-72s with caddy power going. it might motivate me to finish up the 472 in the '67

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em... Tire smoke that is.

tire smoke baby, get the longhorn out and about (or is it aboot??? :D )
