Holy S#*t!! It runs!

After a year and a half of sitting, and only two minor explosions, the Sparklemobile is running again.  If you ever flood your engine and decide to remove the distributor, make sure you turn off the ignition or that bastard will ignite the crankcase fumes and startle the living hell out of you.  The baffle in the oil fill tube, which is in there pretty tight, shot out and landed a few feet away.  That was pretty cool. 

Too bad I didn't learn my lesson and shocked the piss out of myself an hour or two later while pulling the distributor again.

Coils are stupid.  I'm replacing everything with flint from a Bic lighter.  Never shocked myself on a Bic.  Yet.

Cross your fingers, I hope to take my sweet rat rod out for a drive tomorrow.  I think I'm going to start it up again tonight and see if I can make my neighbors hate me.  I'm ready to move anyway.

Happy St. Patricks Day

from Lil Mike!

This is by far the coolest minority that I have ever met. He's always down for a good time and he always has a funny story to tell.

Flashback Friday:HCPU 2007

It is officially Saturday here in the midwest. I was suppose to post this on Friday but I forgot to 'publish' it. So here it is, a couple hours late....Flashback Friday.

Once upon a time in '07 some of my fellow bloggers and myself went on a magical journey to Morris, IL for the Hunnert Car Pileup. We learned that James Dean was gay.

 This was before we knew Sunshine but we were able to grab a pic of his old mans car.

 

Lick the ground bitch! We still don't know why he did this.

Holy shit

c4 Scene is over a year old, and over the past few months the blog has finally started rolling.

Expect big things this year from the club and from the blog.

Balululu, thanks for reading.

Super Mock

Started putting the 39mm I plan to run together. Shaved the headlight tabs off the top tree and the fender mount off lowers...Had to put a wheel on it and see what is to come...Hope to get the whole setup assembled in the next week or so.

Garage fun with my friends.

 Susie,

...and the most famous mythical magician in the world.

Bill loves Terre Haute.

So, there it is.  Got the intake and carbs and misc. bracketry all attached.  Painted some crap. Watched Bill Moyer.  Just need plugs and oil and various whatnots and I'll be driving it again.  Next paycheck I'll get a repro vinyl top and get crusing.
