every time i would call my step dad, the conversation would always start, Hey, I have a question. On this one perticular day, he must have been in a bad mood or something and responded with "you always have a f^%$ing question" so when Fathers day rolled around I sent him a card(which i never do for anyone for any reason) and wrote in it " if i need advise, should i ask my father or the person who acted like my father"

my Mother called to tell me that was very nice of me to do.

Well, same thing with Dan, he never fails to answer the phone even though he knows a tech question is comming his way. It has been a long time since I have spent any money with him and yet he is there to help me or someone I'm trying to help every time I need it.

If i had deep pockets I would have him building me a short block just like Deepockets just built but I just dont have it but maybe someday I will again

Thanks Again Dan

Guts kind of sappy today! Just ribbing ya....but I know what you mean, Dans answered a million of my posts over the years and he's never gotten any money from me for anything. I need to change that when I can....

Very cool story. As a stepdad myself, I can see how relationships are like a roller coaster ride.

In the past Dan and I haven't agreed much, but it seems as time goes on we actually agree more and more....nice to have him on the board for sure!!

Hey John, last year when we moved the shop, we moved it to Delray Beach, remember? now where's that oil pan???????

Ray, I did build that turd under the hood (when it's on the car)of your Challenger. like i told you the other day, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call. i'll help if i can.

for everyone else that posted, thanks for the kind words. i must admit, i'm feeling very humbled right now.

I felt bad the other day when Dan called me about the torque plate cause I was getting ready for work and wasn't able to talk very long, which is not usual for me, I could talk to Dan all day if given the chance.

must be looking for some 9 sec. passes. shouldn't be a problem in a nice light a-body.
glad i could help on the nitrous issue. too much power for you to handle once you made the change we talked about, or just take you by surprise?

my best in the challenger is a 6.12 so i'm sure the car was already in the 9s. car just took a nasty right off the line and i all i could think of was "i wonder how much a Challenger grill costs"

this car will have a ladder bar susp that was givin to me by my friend so i hope it works well. painted the car with rustoleom thanks to the longest thread ever on moparts
