Everything is computer comtrolled nowadays. Its not as easy as changing out a gear on the speedometer cable. If you have an aftermarket tuner you can do it in those, my edge programmer has that ability. If you have a friend that works at a dealer of your make of truck maybe they can plug into it with their scanner. I know Fords could do this back when I worked at a dealer. We could lower a car on airbags and reset the ride height to where they wanted it, so I believe they can tell the computer what size tires are on there and correct for the size change.

I can't imagine what your family is going through right now. Those of us with kids understand the feeling of helplessness when there is nothing you can do for you kid when it is out of your control. The waiting is always the hard part. I hope your little one makes a full recovery.

LOL , That picture of Pete in his rail.... Do you see what I see?

It's worth what the person buying it will pay. Bel-Air's are nice cars.

Oh well. Guess the road trip will have to wait.

That is a sweet car!

Looks like I am getting my seats recovered. The tweed seats were breaking apart and eveytime you touched a seat you became red. I got intouch with www.Redart.com and they do Beard seats so I am taking them up to him and will get them back in a week. I will post pics when they get back.

I would hate to be his neighbor.. but cool none the less. It starts after the 15 second commercial. http://gma.yahoo.com...m-27049229.html

What about the weekend passes? The ones I get on Presidents weekend are those vinyl ones that stick to my windshield. No places to put any of that info.

You don't have to bring a toy to show. Just come on down. It will be good seeing some familiar faces again.

Last Year at Glamis 1/5 scale R/C car.

I appreciate all the offers of places to stay. I can also get a free room at any of the palace casinos but I don't want to keep my car where I can't see it so those are out. I am trying to make the finances work out for a long 24+ hour turn around trip. As long as I stay away from the poker tables I should be ok. My friends think I am crazy for driving it there, they are worried about rock chips on the paint. Well I am too, but I built that car to drive and I won't trailer it anywhere. This car will be abused by me, but in a good way. I will keep you posted Dave as to if I am making the journey, so you can reserve me a spot there. P.S. If I do make it I expect all you LOCALS to make the show! If I can drive 300 miles, you better show and have a beer with me!

Thanks Jim and David- If the money situation is good and I can get friday off from work I just might do this.

If I did this it would be a quick turn around and leave saturday. It would be a cool drive and I could see what the MPG I can actually get out of that motor. Could I crash on your couch David if I made the trip?

Hmmmmm.... Road trip with the 65 Mustang???

I have the same thing as Jim. Just not a Funco bag. Bolted right to the floor. I don't put anything big and heavy in the wing that can damage that, I keep the tow strap in there.

Very cool trip. Now I know why you got Scuba certified. Looks like a blast. Maybe when the kids get older we can swing over there and check it out. If you don't mind me asking--- Are those all inclusive vacations $$$$$ or are they reasonable?

Seems like a good price but more pictures will definately help you out.

Very cool. Just doing a quick snorkle swim in Hawaii and I got interested in maybe seeing what it would be like to try a scuba dive. Are the classes expensive? Did you buy or rent the gear? Pretty cool non the less now you can share things with Anna and see what she actually does under water.

When my brother in law went on deployment he asked me if I was interested in doing it. I told him "HELL YES" I filled out all the forms and emailed them back to him a few months ago. I was cleared by the navy (no big security thing, just physical health type questions). Booked my flight to Hawaii and off I went.

My brother in law is in the Navy and was coming to hawaii for a few days. I bought a ticket to fly out there and hang out with him and his wife. I got a real cheap room on Waikiki but it was right on the beach! Here is my view from my room Here is a shot of a sunset in front of my hotel. And a waterfall nearby The island was very pretty. Jason and his wife did alot of scuba diving, I took the rental car and drove the island taking pictures while they were doing that. Waves crashing on shore A 150 foot waterfall at one of the parks there Trees along the beach (Needs a corona beer huh?) Turtle on turtle beach Jason's wife took me out snorkeling for the first time. The water was crystal clear and we saw alot of different types of fish and an eel. I went over to the USS Arizona Memorial also. That is a must do if over there. It was free and really makes you wonder how that day unfolded as you were standing on one of the sunken ships. There are still men inside the Arizona to this very day. It is still leaking oil and fuel into the ocaen. Gun Turret USS Missouri "Big MO" near by. This is where the Japaneese surrendered and signed the papers. Did I mention I bought a one way ticket to Hawaii???? Hmmm, how was I going to get home? Aboard the USS Reagan Thats how!!! We said goodbye to Jason's wife after 2 and a half days and boarded the ship the night before we were to leave Pearl Harbor. To say this ship is Huge is an understatment. I got lost multiple times while Jason was working. He works in the engine room, So I couldn't go down there to see what he does. Leaving Pearl Harbor Here is my bunk. It took 2 nights to get comfortable as to where I wouldn't roll out of bed. I had the top bunk ( about 5 feet off the floor) Sunset at sea Here is the Anchor Room. The links weigh about 300 pounds each. 1 of 4 catapults onboard 3 hours outside of Hawaii and they were already launching planes!!! There is a new movie coming out soon called Battleship. There was a film crew in 2 helocopters filming the takeoffs and landings for the movie. F-18 landing The second day at sea we took on JP5 (jet fuel) from another ship. The transfer took about 4 hours and we took on 1.1 million gallons of fuel. This was cool to watch!! The even did an an airshow for us. A F-18 broke the sound barrier and scared the crap outta me. This was taken from the fan tail. They go right over the top of you! Fantail shot We were allowed on the deck to watch planes take off and land. I have video as well of this I need to upload. We were literally 25 feet from the planes when it stopped at the end of the runway. Jason is a Senior Chief and about ready to retire after 20+ years. Here he is drilling the new Petty Officers on how to march correctly. And him on the side of the ship The crew on the flight deck was having us do the wave! We got to ride the elevators that take the planes from the hangar to the flight deck. Beats walking all those flights of stairs!!! Finally after 5 days at sea we made it to San Diego. The tugboats guided us in. All the navy guys and girls were in dress whites and lining the rails. All the families waiting for us at Coronado Island. This trip was definately a once in a lifetime experience. I met some cool people on this trip but most of all I have to give it up to the men and women on that ship. I was only on it for 6 days, I was ready to get off on the fifth day!! I can't see how they do 8 months on a deployment and keep their sanity. There is nothing to do on your off time except read or workout or eat. I must have gone up and down 500 flights of stairs. These are very steep too, one slip and your going to be hurt no doubt. I was also glad he was on such a big ship. We had a destroyer following us and the sea was making that thing rock back and forth as where we were hardly moving. The ship would rock you to sleep at night. A very long post I know- But it was worth the time and effort to share my experience with you all. If you ever get a chance to do a "Tiger Cruise" jump on the offer.

I sent a mob request.

It's crazy how much car you can get for so little money. Good looking car!

Well then Eff yo filters!!
