INEPTOCRACY: (in-ep'-toc-ra-cy) : a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
Well, Now it's time for more surgery. I got my gasket set today for the motor that is unhooked and ready to be picked out. Got my TCI breakaway torque converter also.
The motor will get yanked to put another set of heads with bigger valves on along with another intake. It's a Weinand Action Plus. The reason we are yanking the motor is so we can do the torque converter and I want to do the power steering and repaint the firewall and the frame. Basicly clean up the motor cavity.
It feels good to get out there and rip into things. Thanks Chad for doing my wrenching for me.

First off, We pulled the motor in Betty today. A pretty good decision indeed. The passenger side motor mount was broken and we found a push rod with the top cup for the rocker arm broken. I guess I have to learn to keep my foot out of it. I haven't pulled the pan yet but feel pretty good about that part. Will post pics on Bettys progress in a week or so.
Wayne, Good to hear from you finally. Sounds like you've been busy down there. Hope John is happy with everything you are doing. I will need information on your A/C installation. I want to put it in mine before SS-IV.
The seats I recovered myself along with help from Chad and Carl. That was quite a challenge. I don't think I will ever try that again. They turned out ok but not professional.
So What's up with your truck? Do you need us MAC guys to come down there and give you a hand. SS-IV is right around the corner.
We will be starting on Chads 64 soon. Strip down inside and out for a tu-tone scheme.
See everyone soon.
