[QUOTE=DennyW]That's fine Dave, It was a entertaining reply though.

There you go with the whining thing. You forgot didn't you ? It's supposed to be: I know he went crying to the moderator, remember ?

That's just what I mean. I'm not whining, are you ? I'm telling you like it is, straight up. So if you would be so kind as to not throw the extras in some of your replies, I would appreciate it. Just trying to get an understanding here. It's clear you don't like me, and that's ok. But you just seem to make an effort to do those things. Thanks for your understanding. And yes, this is my last reply to you, I promise.[/QUOT] Are we having a pi$$ing contest ??
Is this going to turn into the same thing as what happened with Richard??
Just remember you are both leaders on this forum and all the things you can teach the younger guy's.

Nope. I don't get run off as easy as Tech...

PS---Post counts have nothing to do with leadership, just means I've been around here awhile.....

Pat's monster motor can get that Ranchero there. But not no Found On the Road Dead motor. Dave them $1M dollar, 250 MPH rides a few days back look a lot fancier than a Ranchero. Go get 'em.

Well Kitz, sure do wish I had a mil to drop in it, but I don't see that happening any time real soon!!!!! Nothing is set in stone on the engine yet, but it will definitely be a Blue Oval!! The best part of the entire project is just how many different aspects of engineering it does involve!!!! When we started talking about it five years ago it didn't really seem all that involved. But the more we learn about it, the more we find out we have to learn!!!! I sure do love a challenge, though! I'm very fortunate to have some very knowledgeable people involved with me on the project.... The one thing I am definitely sure of is that this is not the kind of project you can just hurry through and hope for the best! Heck, could end up starting the whole thing over with a Torino type body style just to get some of the aero numbers to look a bit more favorable........

BTW, if you have any suggestions or insight on particular problems along your area of expertise that you feel we may encounter, your input would certainly be appreciated!!!! Oh yeah, do you know of anyone who has a wind tunnel we could borrow??????

I did see some photos of a Mustang pickup Truck ? Is that the Bonneville Ranchero ? Post some more Photos of it . And start a Thread on the build that might be COOL !

It's a '67 Ranchero with a 4" chop, window posts laid back 10 degrees from stock, overall length shortened 14", full frame, and a whole lot of other mods in various stages of work. At ride height, the top of the roof is 48" off the ground and the interior has room for a 6' + driver. Next major work will be the suspension (still being designed) and the cage.

No reason to start a build thread, no time to work on it for awhile anyway. I just put pics in my gallery from time to time and leave a note about progress in another thread.... I build the pieces in my spare time and lately I have very little of that......

go dave!!!
