Woh' well I've started my collection. But I am only at 1 right now. But give it some years and I'm sure I'll have my second one. I'm only 17 so I have lots of time. =)

Anyway, Welcome to the Board!

[Rev]

Welcome,welcome,welcome! With lots of experience and with knowledge of EFI conversions and turbos as well. What more could we classic people hope for in a new member? Maybe we can learn a little from you.

Welcome aboard! We can use your experience, and you can use ours. Thank heavens for these boards as we have a big advantage over the pioneers of the hot rods.

Thanks for the welcome! My first car was done with my then 16 year old daughter. We finished it in 6 months. It's the blue car on my web page. I had so much fun, I bought more as they became available. It's truley a great hobby. Now, I'm building the car of my dreams.

Welcome!

I've got 2 questions for you:

1) Interested in working on a Twin Turbo & EFI conversion for a 70' Grande with a 351W?

2) How old is your daughter now?

[R100RT]

If you stay with '89 or later EEC then you get MAF and things are much easier. Look for Garrett turbos from SVOs or Turbo birds. The compressors are all the same, (ie .6 AR) but there are two different turbines, (.63 and .48). Look for the .63 AR. You can get new center sections for around $105 vie e-bay. You can find used T3's on e-bay as well. The biggest challange would be the exhaust manifolds. I would try a set of FORD Hipos turned forward. If you tell me how much power you want to make, I will advise injector size.

Renee is 18 now. She shoots, rides and fights better than most young men. If you can pass the "Dad Test", then you can take your best shot. Unless the USMC gets her first. PS I'm cleaning my guns right now, it would be a good time for you to take the "Dads Test".

Cool! I've kinda made myself a promise to stop spending so much damn money on the car, so I think I'm going to have to hold off on the twin turbo EFI 351W. Though I'll still dream about it every night, I think it's time to start spending the money on more pratical things (like a house I can call my own).

She's 18 hey? Though CA's a little far from me....But for a true mustang momma, I'm willing to give it a shot! I'm 23, but have the heart of a 20yo. So where do I gotta go to take this Dad test? And please, stop cleaning them guns I havn't dissrespected a girl since I was in elementry school!



P.S. The rules below were sent to be by my X's father shortly after we started dateing. I don't think I even broke any of them, well....maybe #7 Rule #10 kinda reminds me of you! Her dad was super-cool. I miss him more than the X!


Dating My Daughters. 11-15-00 09:29 AM
Rules for Dating My Daughters
Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. On issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine
