A trio of Raby Kits

Post by OriginalCustoms »

How about a pallet of 2056 kits? :D Time to start building. These short blocks will go together quickly while the heads are being rebuilt.

I piled them all into the separate kits. Two FI motors and one carb motor.

And I have two more kits on order. :twisted:

Is it a bad thing to be reading this wishing that I won the Lotto so I could quit my current job, drive over to Napa and offer my services as professional Gopher? :D Ooooh I could be the apprentice!

Sorry all ... end of a long week and I'm feeling loopy! But I've never messed with an engine much (read that as at all), but i've always wanted to and it sounds much more fun than programming at the moment :P

Actually, I've been going back and forth about hiring someone to help out around the shop. But I'm guessing you're making more than I'm offering. ;)

Hehe .... let me work on my Lotto winnings ... then it won't be a problem!

Well, I can dream right?!

Anyway, hope everyone makes it to the Sacramento Bug-O-Rama ... then someone local can fill me in on what I'm getting into with one of Jakes engines :D

Damn, why did we move away from Santa Rosa a couple years ago?  

Oh. Yeah. That's why. Condo living sucked, couldn't even check the oil without getting bitched at. :shock:

Maybe I could move back in with the 'rents, they've got an extra bedroom. :lol:

Ah Portland...

Need to drop a VW motor on the street for a clutch? No Problem.
You'll likely have offers of help from experienced passers by.

And It rains 12 months out of the year. I swear. Really. Honest;-)
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Honestly, I'm likely to *be* one of the experienced passers-by. :lol: I've even had friends use my driveway as workspace on occasion 'cuz they live in an apartment.

We had a day last week when it *didn't* rain .. it snowed instead. :roll:
