This could be my last post

[Munch]

Let me start by admitting that putting a wide band on my car is probably my worst idea to date. It has been nothing but a hassle and it will have very limited return.
With that said I am trying to get my drivers side header out to have a bung welded in it and it's a total PITA.:banghead: I have the header almost all the way out but I need to get the car up even higher on my jack stands so I'm about to do that and hopefully the car wont fall and kill me in the process.

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed this forum, the people on it and if there's an afterlife I hope my Vette is waiting for me there with the stupid wide band already installed.:angel:

I got dibs on his N20 bottle, NANO system, and interface! Sneaks hatch area would look sweet with a double bottle setup. :above:

[Munch]

Sorry Sneaks, didn't get killed but I did F up my front splitter pretty good. As I was jacking up the back the car rolled back off the ramps and caught the splitter.:banghead:

I may have broken some wire connector too but I haven't really looked yet. Just heard crunching and some bits of plastic fell on my head. the header is out but it's an extremely hollow victory. At least I'm older now because if I was 20 I would have started throwing wrenches around the garage and kicking stuff and probably would have done some real damage to the car. It's times like these I really wished I drank

Guess I'll go to Lowes and buy a powerwasher and wash the house today. :sigh:

I'll have a few for you. :beer:

[Sneaks]

Sorry to hear that Munchers. How bad is the damage? You have to F it up really bad to not be able to fix it. I've repaired mine a couple times now........:leaving:

[PortDawg]

Munch, if it makes you feel better, I took a piece of road trash to the right side of the Z on Friday evening. Damage is right behind the front wheel well. Guess I'll be buying some paint and fiberglass so i can fix it.

It looked like a wheel chock. Actually lifted the car and turned it a bit. Scared the crap out of me. Could not dodge it too much due to traffic.

Munch, you could call someone to come help you before you do chit like that. At lease someone is there to call for help if ya drop your car on yourself! Glad your ok and it wasn't any worse. Hopefully the spiltter can be fixed.

Safe tip: Two heads are better than one.

If I'm jacking my car, I call my neighbor Becky to comeover and help or at least be there to keep me from doing silly crap like dropping the car & killing myself!

:cheers:

^ Pretty good advice Munch. Glad you didn't sustain injury and/or serious death. :yesnod:




Btw; I'm planning to unsafely jack my car Tues, Wed, Fri, and (hopefully) twice on Sat.
What's Becky's #? :jester:


:cheers:

I am confused by this. Munch, man, you live less then 20 minutes from the barn...... It has a lift. Are you scared or does the old man have it on lock down?

The car doesn't run at the moment or I most certainly would have taken it to the Barn.

Why do you need to get it higher? Take the valve-covers off, alternator out, spark plugs out, then unbolt the motor mounts from the bottom and use a jack to tilt the motor over thenp ull the header out the top.

Munch,, Please get some help, Be safe so we can all hear from you again.

[PortDawg]

Can you feel the love... :groupwave: :party:

[Eagleeye]

[Bucwheat]

[Tulsa Vette Guy]
