I’ve been here for four years and have yet to go to the Farmington show.  I hope to move two pistols to new homes. Anyone else going? I know there are several members in the area.

I didn't know you were down here.

I'm down in Fredericktown. Gunguy and Pumpkinheaver are in the area too... I'm sure there are one or two more, but those are the guys I know the best and see most often...

I've yet to go to the one in Farmington, I used to go to the bigger one in St. Charles at the convention center pretty often...

Sorry man, I've been hammering away on this for the past year.

83 Olds

It's got an entire 3 miles on it right now, which was to get it up to the alignment shop and back.  I'm just about to the point of being able to drive it regularly and start getting the driveline broken in.  It's got a new set of gears, which need 3x 15 mile trips to heat cycle, then 500 miles to get fully broken in.

It's an aluminum block 416 CID LS3 based.  Started out as a 6.2L from a 2008 Escalade.  In liters, it's now a 6.8.  It's already setup with turbo compression and camshaft.  Should make in the 500 crank HP range before the turbo, which is still about a year away.  Once it gets the turbo and EFI, the fun begins, as it'll put 1000 HP to the tire.

Backed up with the TH-400 transmission out of my GMC drag truck that you saw.  Then a Ford 8.8 rear end with a spool and 35 spline axles.

At this point, there's nothing in the suspension/steering/drive line that hasn't been rebuilt/upgraded.  Collector plates, but it would easily pass a state inspection.

I want to get all the bugs of a brand new build worked out prior to putting boost to it.

When you're ready for the C10 let me know a budget and how far you're willing to drive to get one.  I picked up the Cutlass in North Carolina.  Other than having to fix the driver's seat, the interior is perfect.  No rust on the car, which is common for that area.

Stop by when you have time.

I begrudgingly went to the show.  I typically don't like gun shows but they are the best place locally to buy reloading supplies.  In addition the shipping on cast bullets is atrocious.  I lucked out and picked up a over couple thousand .357 cast bullets for $44.  Well worth the price of admission.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we should have a 67 corridor shooting event.  We had one at 67 probably ten or more years ago and if I recall it was a pretty good time.
