Unicorn part
Finally found an l-series distributor shaft and bought that ish in a heartbeat. This, combined with an l20 distributor should make the ignition side of my carb setup complete. Now all I have to do is sell my wheels and I'll have enough cash to handle the fuel side. For that I need to fab an intake manifold, re-jet my bike carbs and get an FPR that can knock the psi down so it won't flood out the carbs. Then I'll be in happy town!!!

Stock body sex
Dude's car is awesome. My wheels are up for sale so I can save up and get some 17's. Progress is slow but I'm moving in the right direction. I'm going to pull the trigger on my carb setup as soon as I can find a damn oil pump shaft from an l-series motor. Oh yea, replaced oil pan so no gay leaky leaky anymore. Happy to be driving around and not waiting for the sound of my lifters shitting out to know when to put oil in.

Dazed and Confused
Just left the interview for the welding position. I don't know what I'm getting myself into. Place was an Irish non-union outfit that was salivating at the thought of getting a trained union ironworker to work for them. If they can get me a job fabbing I'll do it, but I don't think working non-union ironwork can have any outcome but bad if either my local finds out about it or my crotchety, pro-union father-in-law. They have my resume and will be getting in touch with me over the weekend. We'll see what comes of this but my trigger finger is getting itchy for fabrication work so I hope I'll be able to get back to work soon.

New hope
Interview Friday for a welding position. Keeping my hopes up that it's something good. I'd love to get back into fabricating but if it's at a dramatic pay-cut I may have to pass. We'll see if these peoples are real or fake come Friday.

Awesome
This just changed the game for me. My ignition setup went from costing $300+ to just the cost of a distributor and an oil pump driveshaft ($150 tops buying brand new units). SIIIIIICK, now if I didnt have a wedding to pay for I'd probably be able to finally get my carb'd ka I always wanted.
Holy crap
It's been forever since I've updated this jazz. I guess that's a good thing, mainly been out enjoying my car. Don't want to have to rip into it for a while so my damn welded diff and leak-free oil pan are sitting idle on the shelf. One of these weekends I'll put the car up on stands and tear into it. But until then I'll be scraping, slamming and destroying roads in a town near you.
I'll leave with the first car (I'm pretty sure) to be on my blog other than my own. This will be the start of me posting cool stuff to catalog awesomeness somewhere other than my phone. Bosstown dudes are epic, and when you combine an insane photographer with an equally insane car you get pure visual bliss.
