Rant ONIt's the freakin' middle of May and, other than some small car-related "mini projects", I have simply not managed to progress any further in getting The MoPig back together than where I was around New Years. Mentally I'm cycling back and forth between "Gotta get it running!" and "Oh, eff it all!".  Rant OFF

that was 3 years ago!
Yeah, well it's probably been about 3 years since my Challenger was running. I guess time flies when life sucks.

My 68' RR has been parked in the shop since 2004 - I have parts to finish the new engine and just can't seem to get up the energy to do so.

I just turned 54 last week... had my 15th wedding anniversery in April... have a 12-year old son doing Tae Kwon Do (Black belt) and Boy Scouts, a 9-year old son doing Tae Kwon Do (High-Semi Black belt) and Cub Scouts, and a 5-year old daughter preparing for her first Ballet recital.  And a wife...  Free time is like free $$$ in a lot of respects, so "everything" is a priority, regardless of whether I think it is...

I've had my Daytona 5 years and it is just now ready for the motor/trans to go in. I don't really care if it takes another 5 to get it to the track. It is all paid for. It seems to bother other people a lot more than me.

I am kinda shocked by the lack of desire to get some of these projects finished and either on the road or the track. It seems like more and more of the guys here either never finish a project, finish it and head in another direction, or have to many projects and none of them get done.  Oh well, back to work. 
I hear ya... I work on mine every day I'm home..
should have been done but I ran into a engine problem
a few months back... should be on the road in 2 weeks

Sorry I didnt see it... but some how there was a pile
of alum shavings in the engine somewhere(I think
they were in the WIX filter)... I washed the engine
3 times and I checked all parts that were alum and
didnt see anything... but after that I changed blocks
and put the parts back in with new bearings and rings
and had the pistons coated on the skirts... I dynoed
it and it made 550 hp and 520 tq... its in the car
and running fine
