no your just a useless fucking stupid kid that cant make money so fate leaves it on the floor for you to pick up so you dont end up like one of those fucking bumbs on the street ya fucking loser

i shut you up pretty good didnt i

If it takes you 3 weeks just to get a car runnin, you're slow... A bud of mine and myself and a couple other guys have gotten a 72 camaro around 8am in the morning... dropped the engine, taken everything apart and cleaned all the re-usable parts up by noon... stuck one guy POR-15in the engine bay while myself and another guy work on the engine... engine's rebuilt with better parts by the next day... day 3 is a sanding day... depending on the condition of the body its either hit with a pressure washer or blocks of sand-paper... day 4 is body work... repairing all rust spots and hammerin out any dents and such... day 5 is primer day.... day 6 is for the interior cleanin up everythin in there and doin whatever needed to make it look better without buyin anythin new... then we take it to a friend of mine who's a professional body man (i posted a truck he did not too long ago and believe i got in another argument with neon in that thread too... LOL) he shoots the car and when all is cured and ready we start wet-sandin all the rough spots and touchin everything up... so after 2 weeks of work the camaro was runnin like new with a badass paint job and all for the cost of paint and a few engine parts (i believe we put a SCAT 383 crank in the 350 block, gear drive, mild cam, edelbrock air gap intake)... then we were into the car a couple hundred bucks (not including the $1200 paid for the car) and it was available to sell for MUCH more (altho this car wasn't sold... Chris drove the piss out of it until he spun a bearing 4 or 5mos later... engine woulda lasted MUCH longer if he weren't such a dumbass... heh... revin it to 6grand before the oil pressure got up the second he started the car and runnin 10-15 passes down the 1/4 every week.... now i believe that engine is in an old chibby truck or somethin...) now we worked damn hard generally from 10am to 6 or 7pm every day, but that included re-buildin the engine and timin them gear-drive deals (which sounds DEMONIC at high RPMs... hehe...) and gettin a professional paint job and not some maaco shit-job.... (and i guess it also helps that i'm best friends with the painter's sun and he shot the car for a case of beer and the cost of paint...)

now i dont know the exact value of a 1972 camaro with a newly-rebuilt 400+hp NA 383 stroker and brand new paint on a perfect body, but i'm sure its a lot more than $3000 (which would be a $700 profit) Anybody else know the value of a camaro like that? I dont feel like searchin for how much them cars are sellin for 'round these parts...

Oh... and Neon... if you can't find a classic car dealer in Coachella, then put it on EBay... if it runs and looks good you'll get your moneys worth and in 9 days or somethin too...

And i apologize for taking so long with my reply... not all of us have the luxury of being able to sit at a computer waiting for people to post all day... i've had a roof to tar and shingle and 150 goats to round up and find the 15 billys out of the group then catch and tag 'em and stick 'em in their own pen so they can go to market on tuesday... shouldnt you be out makin money or somethin, business-man?

and the point of your whole useless story is? i don't know if i got it or not but a bud of yours and your self and acuple other guys so im guessing around 4 or 5 people? can build a car in a week compared to me as in 1 person building a motor, rebuilding a trans, doing wiring bull shit and getting a project car moving, suspension fixed, getting the car to break, doing body work and sending the car off to get painted and doing that in 3 weeks still considering my schedule and living in San Diego and the car being built in indio being slow? is this your only argument to your whole bull shit opinion to begin with, man your fucking lame just shut your mouth

oh but being on after i post and your name showing you replying to my post but then aprox 5-10 min later you sign off with no post so i assumed that your incompetency couldn't come up with a good response which i was right, and just alittle info to your other response, i am making money or should i say setting up deals, i find, buy, and sell cars on the net, have fun playing with your farm animals

Its a groupe of 4 guys.... one of which says he knows everything about cars but he just sits around and watches us 3 work... he's basically useless... learnt a bunch of technical terms from his cuzin and just spouts 'em off every now and again...

and the point of the story is that if you are a motivated businessman you could get a couple friends to help you out and work on the car and you can get a lot done in a short amount of time... you do have friends, dont you? or are you too busy makin money to have friends? hehe...

now... as for what you have to do to the GTO... i dont often do tranny's... dont have the right tools to... but them old gearboxes really aren't that hard to work on... i dont know much about whatever tranny you have in that car, but Turbo 350s are easy to work on... if you have a manual 4-spd or somethin... even easier... shouldn't take more'n a day... wiring... wiring can be hell... learnt that from the grand am.... especially since everything on the Q4HO is computer controlled... and i mean just about EVERYTHING... damn distributorless engines.... thing dont even have spark plug wires... hehe... anywho... wiring on a car from 1968 isn't that bad... hell... if its that much of a mess you can get a good wiring harness from a junkyard for like $20... I got a harness for a 89 IROC-Z camaro for $30... i'm sure an older one would cost a lot less... suspension... i dont know what all is wrong with yours... but i replaced axles and suspensions and everything in a few hours... when i replaced the suspension on the grand am i bought all new parts with upgrades over OEM which is more costly, but you can always fix whatevers wrong with yours or head out to the junkyard... from what i remember from pictures of your goat you posted a long time ago.. .wasn't too much wrong with the body... i'd have to go and find the thread and such which i dont feel like doing right now to be sure, but looked to me like it just needed paint...

and my whole point to begin with was not that 3 weeks was slow... but that you CAN get it done faster if time matters that much to you... 3 weeks is pretty fast by my book, its just completely possible to get it done faster, and time is money, right? hehe...

Oh... and I checked ebay (even tho you didnt say anything to refute what i said about ebay earlier) and it looked to me like most of the '68 GTO's were goin for nearly 10grand or more if they were running and looked nice...

and what is with your superiority complex?? I mean... ok... you have money.. you're gonna be on tv... you have 10 rolexes and your own private jet... who gives a shit? just seems to me like you're trying to compensate for something, if ya catch my drift...

-Daniel

urgh, dont go there dan. and whats so special about being on tv? ive been on tv, and the radio twice. big deal.

so you saw me sign on and you saw that i was replying to your post or somethin? and then you saw me sign off? and that had to of been somewhere between 8:46 and 9:15... well... i dont quite think thats possible... heh... lets see... i got in from herdin the goats and such around 8ish? somewhere around there... or... did you "see" my name in there after your post at 6:55PM? Not sure... I dont think you saw my name in the post... now you could have seen my name in the box for reading the thread... PMan sent me an IM with a comment about this thread probably somewhere around 6:30ish? or atleast thats when I got the message because I was signed on to AIM with an away message up because i was on the roof at the time... but ya... i came back and checked if you had a response or if he had responded... newest post was from hooyeah... so i closed the window... donno how long this forum has you logged in after you close the window... but you could have seen that, smart guy...

But... of course... Chadwick is superior to everyone, so of course it was my incompetency that kept me from posting a witty response, right? hehe...

If you want to argue smarts... take YOUR IQ... double it and subtract a quarter of your IQ after it has been doubled from the product and it MIGHT be high enough to be equivalent to my IQ... and thats be generous to yours... hehe... Now... if you need me to simplify that equation... here's the simplification...

you IQ low - my IQ high

simple enough, eh?

Now I dont think we need to get into an argument about who's smarter than who... we all know that you feel the need to brag about the size of your wallet to make yourself feel better... so... how 'bouts you hop on your private jet... synchronize the time on all 10 of your rolex watches (which i'm sure you wear all of them at the same time to make sure everyone knows your rich) and drink a $25,000 bottle of shampagne and tell your pilot to fly you to France so you can then brag that you've been to france numerous times and you own a condo in europe....

But... if you're trying to make yourself feel better by saying you have more money than me... dont even bother... i'm a simple redneck farm boy... of course you have more money than me... but atleast i WORK for a living... and you may have more money than me... but women flock to the good ol' boys... just go to your fancy malls and look at how many male models are dressed up in cowboy boots and a hat...

Now... is there anything else you want to claim to be better than me at? or anything else you want to brag about? go ahead... raise your self esteem... but dont expect us or especially me to believe anything that comes out of your mouth...

-Daniel

i do my own work, when you have other people working with you thats when you incure problems, just like on that tv show i was responcible for geting the motors runing and ready for the races, in one show i had the motor runing earlyer on in the week to win pole position then acupple days later when the car was finally put togeather the faking fat dumbass dave did the fuel system and hooked up the fuel lines wrong which caused alot of wasted time and energy so because of shit like that i always do my own work, oh and i dont have 10 rolexs and a private jet but just give me about 5 years

haha

You just gotta get good ppl to work with... ppl you trust and you know that they know their shit... the guy i mentioned that just spouts of tech shit every now and again.. ya.. he's the guy we make put on the POR-15 and make the beer runs and fetch the pizza.. heh... the other guy has been working on cars since he was old enough to hold a wrench... his father's the body man... his mother worked at a parts store since she was a kid (she works at a junkyard now)... her father owned the parts store and was a mechanic before he bought the store... her sister is a mechanic... her brother is a mechanic... and so on and so forth... he knows his shit... the other guy (chris)... well... i dont really know him but it was his car so if he screwed anything up it was on his own head... hehe... but after workin with him on the 'maro... i'm pretty sure he knows his shit...

the only guys that ever worked on any of my mustangs when i was restorin them with my dad was myself, my dad and the guy who's in the family of mechanics (i dont think he would like me mentioning his name... he got mad at me for talkin about his '69 camaro on here way back when).. and of course the watcher dude came and watched and spouted off technical shit and we sent him for beer... hehe... but... he does know his technical shit... he prolly knows more technical terms than me... hehe...

but... for the point of this post... you just gotta find good people you can trust to work on yer cars with ye... so far i've been mainly the only one workin on my fiero... unless if you count the guys who helped me pull the engine... altho... when i pulled the engine i gave the watcher tech guy a job to do and he broke my deck-lid springs... hehe... luckily i'm replacing them with gas struts and was gonna take 'em off anywayz so it didnt really matter... but after that all he got to do was help lift... hehe...

and i was being sarcastic about the rolexes and jet... i just remember somethin about you saying you have more than one rolex and someone said something about you havin a jet (also was being sarcastic)...

-Daniel

i know people that know there shit, my family down the lines have been rooted in the auto business, for fucks sake you talk about some chick working at a junk yard my family owned 3 of the bigest auto wrecking yards in the coachella valley not to mention other family members still own about 11 junk yards in ca. and MY point is no one does the best work on a car unless they own that car or unless they are geting payed a outragiously huge ammount of cash, and no i didnt say i had more then 1 rolex, some other little faggit on here said that

again... i wasn't trying to brag on anything... it wasn't a prompt for you to top it... i was just saying... he knows his shit... his entire family knows their shit... but if you want to brag about family... my 2nd cousin was a pretty well known man... he's no longer living.. but he was pretty involved in the Vietnam war... he owned a HUGE ranch in texas which now belongs to his wife (who's name is Ladybird)... now she owns a Huge garden in central Texas... oh.. and he was the President of the United States of America... his name was Lyndon B. Johnson... has a high school named after him and a library and museum and everything... And I'm not sure about everyone else here... but i'm pretty sure that tops your junkyard family... hehe... Or.. .well... knowing you... you're prolly gonna come back with some witty comment to top that... but ok... heh...

oh... and since your family knows their shit so well... why dont you get them to help on your goat? or do you not trust them to do a good job? just dont let 'em work on yer car without you bein there supervisin while you do somethin else...

kind of like a business man has employees, right?

-Daniel

hell i dont know what there is to brag about every one in texas is related to eachother, how str8 is your family tree?
