stroker-ace, did you all just get back from deployment about 1 month ago?
Nice car bud!
Thanks!!
Wow. Thanks.
I took it up north today for a mental health day off today and went to Harbor Springs to check out M119 and the tunnel of trees. Had a great time. I think I need to drive it again Sunday before the weather goes bad.

Thanks, Justin. Yeah, I feel like Paul Bunyon around here It's a work out for me. Keeps me in shape so I can barely bust loose 23 year old bolts on the GN! (and my back)
You're looking at woods from the Civil War times behind me (and alllllll around us!!) This is Civil War country right here.
Why don't you post some pictures of you with that GORGEOUS blue "T" you have? It's one of the most beautiful ones on this board. (IMO)

The T is under a mild restoration. When I got it back after it was stolen it was trashed. So far I have yanked the engine and stuffed new bearings in it, cam, roller rockers, and a new torque converter. The car was robbed of almost everything aftermarket...what they didn't realize is that the internals of the engine wer worth quite a bit. It has H-beam rods, stroker crank, ported and polished heads and intake to name a few. I have yet to replace the interior....It needs everything inside...I have collected quite a bit of stuff tho. Someone spilled oil all over the seats and carpet... It is pretty nasty right now compared to how I had it. Slowly but surely it is coming back tho... Here is a pic to hold you over tho...

HEY!!! Thanks for the picture! Man, that thing is beautiful! I had no idea how rough you had it having that T stolen. Just hurt to read of all the damage those cowards did to it. I feel for you, buddy. Really do. Keep up on repairing it and you'll be happy in the end. I know I would be.
My Gn, if you didn't know, when owned by my late Dad, was stolen back in 2001. One month later he got it back. It was still drivable, so he was kind of lucky there. Only they took all of the emblems off, switched the GN wheels with a set of Turbo wheels, broke out the passenger door lock, the trunk lock, broke into the rear seats, ripped out the radio, tinted the windows (the "ick" purple) trashed the steering column, ripped up the carpet, put two little holes in the dash, and wrecked the right rear quarter panel (Dad just had the car painted for $4500 the week before it was stolen). They tried to alter the original GN's appearance as I think the cowards intended on keeping it, since they surmised that the stolen GN is fast.
So far, I've fixed/replaced everything except for the quarter panel. Will be a bitch to match the paint as it's black with thousands of different colored metal flakes in it. Now, just finished restoring the whole interior and working on the suspension, radiator, painting the outside trim, etc. Which is why you'll see pictures of it on jackstands still.
I sympathize with you, Justin, on having your car stolen. As well with the other guys on this board who've had the same thing happen to them. It's a bitch.
Well, thanks for the photo of "Ol Blue. I really like that car. Keep up the good work. Oh, and the picture of you.....you look 60 years younger than I am. Must be nice.

You should post a pic up of you and Mr.S when you take him out for a ride.:smile:
The only one of him I have was our first trip to the doctors after being released from the hospital to the rehab center. He wasn't very happy this day but it's all I have.... More soon I hope...

Sounds and looks like Mr. S is having a rough time. I know what it's like. Please relay to him I wish him the best and get well soon....when you've been very sick it's hard to be in a good mood....I did all I could for my Dad when he was going though that rough time....wasn't easy. I wish now I could have done more. So take good care of him, buddy. He'll love you for it.
