I put a PJ dear drive in the Hemi - you will be horrified at the amount of backlash and the impact on V-T-P clearance if you are running a very big cam.....

hi pete, the customer insisted on the gear drive. it's a mild 305 for cruising only with a performer cam kit. it was the noise he was after

i'm definately spending too much time looking at the computer, it makes me spend money!!! i'm finally organising getting the chevy s10 rolling chassis collected so i just looked on ebay last night to see what old truck cabs were on there. bugger me by this morning i'd bought a 51 5 window chevy cab and front wings from one guy, a pair of doors from another and a front grill from a 3rd. doh!!! so it looks like i'll be building a rat rod truck then.......

recently i've removed the built in wardrobes in our bedroom as dawn's decided we need free standing ones. we bought a set of 2 large wardrobes and a dresser that are the style she wants. they came from their original owner along with the receipt from 1951 and are really solidly built. the bedroom needs plastering, not only as the old wardrobes covered where we took out the chimney breast but to cover the 90's artex on the walls and ceiling too. the plasterer is a mate who actually did the artexing for us back then and said he's had to cover lots of the same in the last few years. he's got his work cut out for him as he also artexed the hallway stairs and landing walls and ceilings too, guess what? he's skimming them too lol.
in preparation for this i've added an extra power point in the hall and recessed one there that's always annoyed me as it was surface mounted.
i've earned enough brownie points to get away with ordering new 'glass rear wings for my chevy truck project so it's all good.
