Meissen's LT1 Build-up Thread

will it bedone before he is married?

SERIOUSLY... Totally agree. If it weren't for the fact that THANKFULLY once it's bled I hope to never do it again. If I had to do it on a regular basis, I'd be really tempted to buy a set of the speed bleeders that replace the bleeder screws and let you bleed the brakes by yourself.

I've been very tempted to get one of those pump bleeders to do it by myself a couple of times just for the sake of having one and not having to worry about it again.

I'm beginning to think this project is endless. I hope we get this done before 2012.

I hear that... i still haven't finished mine even and that was started last june, but I just haven't had any time or money and i dont think im going to this summer either

I've got vacuum leaks, no exhaust, wiring to fix, valve lash to be set... probably more I cant think of. Someday....

She just waits for me patiently under the cover.

well the last couple days have been tough! We actually have Brians car on the road. But didn't want to tell, Brian wanted to suprise everyone on woodward tonight. Weds. he was able to drive around a little then thursday we got Alignment done, and friday got the exhaust done. Still needs to be tuned. but we are so close to done.

Just drove home, ears are ringing from the closed exhaust but man does it feel good to drive it around a bit!

Sounds awesome B!!! I bet it felt good to let her rip a little. You definitely got the power to back up the looks now!

[MP81]

That was a fun secret...

Nonetheless, it's great to see Red Alert driving again - this time with V8 power.

When you get it tuned, you need to take me for a spin in that thing.

it was a fun ride b i cant wait for another one!!

I knew something was up Brian! So no I was not "reading to much into it" I just got that feeling like you were not telling us something and a hunch that you where going to surprise everyone with RED ALERT on friday! Good to finally see the car in person, looks great!

[s.reef]

man brian great job with the car, sounds and looks great!

[SoulTerror]

Congrats on getting it all done up guys.

[ITSSLOW]

Car looked and sounded amazing B! When you have all the bugs worked out you'll have to take me for a spin in it.

I've got a great video of your car but the camera is still in the car. I'll upload and post it this afternoon.

[meissen]

Awesome - thank you sir!

[JoeliusZ28]

i think we should throw some V6 videos in here just for comparisons sake

[MP81]

I have a few videos as well, but I won't be able to upload them until Sunday evening.
