    On the road, the journey resumes. left Calgary at 4 AM, somehow I hit a deer at 4:30 AM and there is absolutely no evidence that I hit said dear. No idea how. It went under the right tires and probably under the trailer. Can’t find any evidence. Phew! Oh, this is a fairly big rig for me to tow...

    There is actually more. So i hook up this crazy huge 45ft trailer gooseneck to my teenie 2000 dodge 2500 manual with a dana 80 and being that i had never hauled a gooseneck and was just learning on the fly, i get her all the way home, turn in my circle, jacknife, blow my rear window out. It...

    I guess there is more to update. A deal came up on an 85 for my neighbours kid in Seattle. Neither the Z or the 85 4+3 runs. So i bought a 45 foot 18000 lbs trailer, used, that will hold both cars, and i’ll be heading down through spokane first to portland, where the Z is currently parked in...

    Haha. The OP is quite experienced and knew what he was getting into. I believe this is his 9th C4 “rescue” and Im quite sure he has a spare LT5 in his garage. 😃 But seriously, happy to share an update. Chumpvette and I (A cf member friend) took the heads off, they had both been refreshed...

    i like both of the suggestions! Im thinking i will wait until its done. Because it will be quite a transformation. I was definitely leaning towards a dragon theme because its year of the dragon after all. Night Fury works well. But its more like Night Sweats right now lol.

    Those are both great suggestions. So Air Canada cancelled my flight. Postponed till 2pm. That means Chump and I will miss the opportunity to visit a local boneyard (not open weekends) for some of the non LT5 stuff thats missing like shrouds etc. Oh well im sure this will take a couple trips...
