[gadget73]

If you find one of those oil pressure things, see if you can find a second one for me. I stole the one intended for Tom's car a while ago and had to return it. Right now I'm using some random bs sender and its pegging my pressure gauge. Also I've got an HO ECM if you don't find one. Not sure if I'll be there before you are tho, but if I am I'll leave it for you.

[87gtVIC]

okey dokey Thain i will grab two then :) should be under a bunch of trucks ( i hope) and if i find no ho ecm there is always next time :D .

[87gtVIC]

Thain...Scott and i got ya a oil pressure thingy adapter, i just have to remember to remove it from my bag. Its super oily...

[87gtVIC]

today Scott and i went to harrys and we hit a good stash. We got a mark VII grille, 1979 ltd s hood, lots of interior trim for a mark VII, fender to core supports, mark VII high output ecm, little faggy lopo throttle body and some other good shit. Harrys had really good cars to choose from. Only one station wagon (that i nabbed the fender to core supports) and two CV 87 down boxes (ltd s and regular).

oh oh oh and there was a 91 Police car, scott harvested the rear swaybar (his hands are still shacking from cutting the control arms to drop the damn thing) The police car had a 140 speedo, the axillary gauges and was rusty as hell.

All in all this was a great day at harrys, great stuff i got, and Scott as well.

[85crownHPP]

did somebody nab the speedo and gauges?

[87gtVIC]

no the gauge faces were smashed and the speedos are usually bad.

[P72Ford]

I would have taken the gauge bezel...

[87gtVIC]

i did not know that that gauge bezel was anything special. It was out of a 91 and cant you just drill two holes for the gauges? if it was a 89 or down i would have definitely grabbed it.

[87gtVIC]

[Lincolnmania]

Thanks a lot Regis, if harrys didnt have it we would have went there.


Got done installing the hood, rearview mirror (idea, courtesy of LTDMan83) and fender supports. everything looks real good. I also bought a nice HO upper intake, non bored (but will be) egr spacer and 60mm in to 63mm out throttle body. :)

[87gtVIC]

My time at Skippyville is over. Going home today. I had a great time harvesting at the yards...I want to thank Scott for having me for these two days...and navigating me to his house early Monday morning. He helped me out a lot, unbolting stuff for me, pointing out rare cars in the jy's. Hooked me up with a hood install, modified tb, ho upper and a egr spacer. We had good eats, tacos Monday Italian Tuesday. I got to see GMGT, the cablebox, and all of scotts cars. Even though the weather was bad tuesday we got the stuff done.

Scott you are sleeping while i type..you stayed up late last night helping me out, and roaming the jy's two days in a row for me...i dont want to wake you..nor do i think i can successfully wake you if i try..

Thanks Scott for having me, i had a great time, and thank you Skippyville for having me.

now i begin my three hour ride home.

[87gtVIC]

made it home at 12:05. uploading a hell of a lot of photos now.

Ez pull was a major pain in the ass climbing on top of the blocks just to access the engine compartments. They had a bunch of fox mustangs and a lot of box grand marquis.

pics and a video are up..but please think what would Jesus do if he had dial up...
