Kenny - IT LIVES!!

[tony barnhill]

Took it out on a run today - about 30 miles...man, it loves 80mph!....just gotta button up the console (& figure out where the couple of loose wires inside there go...oh, its got 87,000 original miles on it!

We won't tell anybody what that sweet riding/running little thing is, will we? Man, its like driving a Corvette! hehehehe

 

[kennypinkerton]

LOL! I'm sure a few have figured out, buy I'm not saying til it's in my driveway - and I'll update my signature picture. Just fixed a really nice Kenwood stereo that I'm gonna put into it too.

Great news! Thanks! Coming to get it shouldn't be more than a week or 2 away now. Julie's gonna take a thursday or friday off so we cona come pick her up.

 

[tony barnhill]

Oh, I looked in the box - new top is cloth

 

[kennypinkerton]

Excellent! I already have installation instructions for it too. 87,000 miles... that's less than any of my cars!

 

[DrEntropy]

AHEM!!! This is th' "pink wire"?!?!

If so, AWRIGHT Kenny! It's got legs like a gazelle...

We'll "talk".

 

[kennypinkerton]

I figured out you knew what car it was during the wiring diagram posts Doc! And yeah, that's the one. One other person here knows 'cause I told him a week or so ago in a private chat.

It's feeling like the week before christmas to me! I can't wait! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

 

[DrEntropy]

Maahvelus! Glad it's goin 'to a good home.

 

[jlaird]

But but, why would you want one of those?

 

[DrEntropy]

'k Jack... keep it up...

Everyone should have at least ONE in their lifetime.

 

[jlaird]

But but, if you had one you would kinda have to drive it and be seen in it wouldn't ya?

 

[DrEntropy]

gawd...

<Doc knows he's gonna regret this>

*yes* Jack, one would think so...

 

[Nunyas]

hmmmm... lessee here... drives like a Corvette... has a cloth top... why would anyone want one... yet everone should have at least one in their life time... to drive it is to be seen in it; whether or not you want to be seen in it I might add. It has a pink wire... it's possibly little... it loves to go 80MPH... Doc knows a bit about the wiring in it...

it's not a late model Lotus Elan (late 80s/early 90s variant)... is it? Or a late model (80s) Alfa Romeo Spider?

 

[kennypinkerton]

hehehehehe - I'm not tellin yet!

 

[Nunyas]

Pinto Convertible with a 350 shoe-horned under the hood?

 

[kennypinkerton]

Actually it's a Chevette convertible with a ford Cammer! Nothing like the cheapest car GM ever made combined with possibly the most expesive engine ford ever made! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

It has tilt steering, but the torque-steer is gonna take some getting used to. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Ever seen sideways chassis twist?

 

[Nunyas]

can I have my leg back?/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

 

[DrEntropy]

mehheh... "cut th' PINK wire!"

 

[kennypinkerton]

My MG even had a pink wire up until I got my new hazard switch the other day... It was jumping the connector so my signals would work. Bad thing is, it was hanging under the dash when I got the car. You should've seen me studying it and wiring diagrams (for about 3 hours!) trying to figure out where it went... Then I pulled it, and it was just up there. PO had it as a ground for light inside the aftermarket switch he used to replace the Headlight switch... But it had fallen loose on it's own before I got the car.

 

[DrEntropy]

..it DOES have TWO camshafts, yes. A true "Hemi". Elegant.

Chevette with a SawzAll top-down modification... hmmm.

 

[DrEntropy]

Pink wire in an LBC.... lemme think..... ummm....
