As they say, better late than never. Looks like you are going to have some fun.

P.S, If you see Santa can you tell him my house is in Washington and I am still waiting for him.:lol:

NO MORE COMP CAMS JUNK FOR ME. I HAD A CAM GO FLAT AFTER 6000 MILES, IN A 468 THAT I BUILT. I HAD A COMP CAMS CAM. LIFTERS & ROLLER TIPPED ROCKERS. WHEN THE CAM WENT FLAT IT DISTRIBUTED A WHOLE BUNCH OF MICROSCOPIC PARTICALS MY OIL SYSTEM, EATING UP MY CRANK, ALL BEARINGS, CAM & LIFTERS. NEVER AGAIN. ;) JOHN

Yeah, I have three (search for my picts as I have a fleet of BBC) The cam is a comp in one and not sure on the other. I bought comp pushrods and crane rockers. I like Comp, but as I have heard not everyone is happy with them. I did have a set of pushrods wear from the guideplates, but they sent another set. Special K, I hope to install em and not need the shelf! I hope! I got the Fabtech kit for 53% off from Summit I paid $600 for a$1400 lift kit for my 05 Yukon XL so I got into a buying rythem?! Patiently waiting for the other boxes and the weekend, now if only the warn weather holds out!! Thanks for the replies, I'll post picts of the rest of the stuff when it comes! Oh Summit took another $50 off the lift kit cause UPS poked a hole in the box and scratched up the lift kit pieces (It's not like I intend to wheel this thing where it might get scratched!?)

70rs/ss,

Reference the wheels the other day (other thread). Steeper price that I remember, but $800 for all four wheels and tires; these are new take offs,
17" escalade wheels and BFG's if I am not mistaken.

PM me and if I can swing it, they looked sweet on that white truck in the thread, thx!

Nice new stash of parts...

Re: Santa came late!
 
Santa brought more stuff again today, new SS valves for my BBC, plug wires, second box for the 6"lift on my Yukon, and a hat (I didn't order it, maybe when you blow money they are free!) Still waiting on the 3 sets of pro-comp tires (buy 3 get 1 free so I bought 3 sets!?) SpecialK, I may not need a shelf, but the wife has suggested some alternative sleeping/living arrangements!!

Re: Santa came late!
 
I`m thinking going with the industrial/automotive look:Aluminum diamond-plate shelves with ss exhaust tubing for the uprights.Need something strong for all that stuff.Any more coming?I`ll wait to draw it up until I know how big to make it.Where abouts in Northern AZ do I go for my arse-whippin`?

Was the wife's suggestion just related to this particular purchase? LOL

Re: Santa came late!
 
No, its pretty much an open invitation for the many (and I mean many!) vehicles that I have amassed, but the parts (namely the cash outlay!!) seemed to have pushed her to a new vioce octave that I have never heard before!? I better hurry and get something fixed, it would be nice to be able to sell something for hotel rent on a weekly basis!! Hey qksilver any luck on getting my Escalade?! LMK
