The hits keep coming...
 

So if anyone remembers, I have had my eye on a mildly cammed, rebuilt, running 327 sbc my dad had pulled out of a 66 Impala hotrod project he is working on... he had plans for it in a 36 Chevy pu, but has shifted all focus into the Imp...

Well, while i was at recruiting school, my brother made a power play and scooped it up for $200 cash... he dropped it into a '78 Chevy Custom Camper to make a hunting rig...

What ever right? Worse things have happened. :icon_shrug:

Well the new motor for the Impala is a ZZ502 that came out of his puller project. But most of the pulling gear is not set up for a track rig. this is where the hits start.

He gave my brother this 402 lbc along with all of the old pulling tin... a built turbo 400, a demon caburation speed demon carb, some race manifold, electric water pump, davis unified ignition and like a million other kick-@ss bits and pieces....


all i have to say is WTF m8! I guess my Christmas gift wasn't good enough :icon_sad:
you win some you lose some, but damn that hurts...

on the plus side, he did let me use the shop to screw with my rear suspension and such...

I know what its like man... My little brother makes way more money, has no dissapointed our folks like I have, and doesnt have a long string of failed relationships that his older brother has... But I like to think that I have had more fun and lived harder... Its all good. He will still let my drive his toys :)

i feel for ya Curtis.

being the oldest of 6, i always felt i had to work a little harder than some of my other brothers had to. how true that statement was/is, i can't really say.

sometimes it comes down to being in the right place @ the right time.



sure seems like i'm never in the right place though. :icon_shrug:

Well boys my 1 and only older brother doesn't talk to me bcause I got out of the army "so I won't make nothing of myself" mind you I'm in college and he's been working the same dead end job he hates for 6 or 7 years now. Keep in mind also both of our parents passed away. Funny right? Oh well ABN just buy your own stuff and you'll be prouder of it buddy!

I appreciate the pep talks boys.

@ohsofly: the funny thing is i'm the only one (of the 3 of us) who HAS done anything with my life. brother has 2 years to go to get his license back after 3rd dui, he grows and sells weed as a job, and got shot in the leg by his coke dealing buddy :icon_doh:

Chris, i'm in the same boat man, just a little further south and with out the metric system :icon_beerchug:

cochran077: you're right. i know you are, but it still sucks :icon_badrazz: also wouldn't hurt if the wife would score a job...

This is my therapy, im just bitc*ing into the lounge :icon_shrug:

i know how you feel...dont really want to go into my crap as im in a pretty good mood ATM but you should know we feel ya, know how it is. :( in the end you will be proud of yourself for workin hard to have gotten what you have and be the person you are....I know I am.

look at it this way ABN. We are all driving anywhere from 6 or 7 year old trucks up to 20 something year old trucks. And I feel ya on the job thing the GI Bill don't hardly cough up enough money a month. So I am intently looking for a job as I type this haha.
