Itch To Wrench
I've also thought about building a bumble bee clone for my son, paint it yellow some racing stripes autobots badges and a built 355 twin turbo under the hood. I've always wanted to build a twin turbo V8. I'd really love a 60s or 70s F series with a 460 and side pipes cammed out crazy NA no forced induction though it would sweet to slap twins on one.

Itch To Wrench
Hey if it's your money I'll do it lol I do have my ranger sitting out front with the need of a new engine. It's solid no rust could always build a 302 and drop it in...... Problem is emissions here in NY it's to new even being a 99 has to be plugged into a computer yearly for inspection by law I can only put a 99 or newer engine in it. Gotta build a 95 or older to avoid that bs

Itch To Wrench
I've been getting this crazy itch to build something. I went to college for auto tech graduated at the top of my class then went on to become a diesel tech teacher. I haven't turned a wrench in years other then an occasional fix when deployed because the guys at the motor pool were clue less. I've built a 383 stroker, a few 4.0 jeep engines, a couple 5.9 cummins, a SR20, a RB25, VG30 and a few honda vtecs. Some naturally aspirated mostly the American stuff all the Jap engines got turbos and of course the cummins all had 1 or 2 turbos on them. So lately I've had this itch to build something anything truck, muscle, diesel, ricer, bike, boat you name it I wanna build it lately. Even my nitro trucks have been pulled out of storage and getting some attention. Now there is the small hiccup of money with all of this but I'm thinking buy a block and slowly put it together then heads and so on. Car or truck can always come later. I've been thinking another SBC probably a 355 I got the room to have a build going on and not be in the way. Since I need a new truck so maybe I'll buy a older chevy and have a spare engine and transmission build in the barn at my moms place. My inner gear head is coming back out it must be the warm weather.

I Was Going To Take A Nap...
Yeah that's about right. A10s are pretty sweet to I've had them buzzing the trees above me when that gun opens up it's pure awesomeness I can't remember if it was at Ft. Drum or one of the other bases that the A10 range was right next to our machine gun range so they were coming in for runs right over our heads. I think it may have been in Ft Irwin California now I think back

I love war planes WW2 planes are my favorite but man are the new jets awesome. I would be drooling with that flying over my house. We had two F18s fly over on my deployment as a show of force at like 100ft like so low you could see the rivets in the thing. They came in over the mountain buzzed the village and punched the after burners I got a chub over it lol.

Is It That Easy To Get A Gun In 'murica?
Try buying one in NY. I haven't had an issue but I've never been in trouble with the law other then having a heavy right foot if you know what I mean lol. I don't have my pistol permit yet but it's in the works. I haven't bought a new gun in almost 4 years thought last one was some paper work a phone call to the FBI or whoever they call and I was out the door with my .243. I think the paper work took longer then my background check did. Being in the army might have helped but I doubt it.

Gahhh Bad Luck Strikes Again!
I paid 400 for it then put 200 for lock out hubs, 400 for brakes all around, inspection, exhaust work, then 40 for a tie rod, 400 for an alternator and towing, 300 when my drive shaft went, 5 or some JB weld to fix my leaking oil pan. It's put 60k on it in mileage and hit 3 deer with it so I've got my money's worth. I'm pulling all my new parts before I scrap it.
