then worked on the mystake to have it handle better, not eat up tires and not feel like it's going to break around most corners

i replaced the lower control arms

i miked out the rod and it came within specs so pulled the crank outa the donor motor and dropped it into my motor with all new bearings
other wise i would have had to switch the head off my 99 motor onto the 94 block and would have ment even more $$$ i might still see if someone wants to swap a 94 head for a 99 and build myself another motor but completely from ground up

and the past 2 days i have just been relaxing after work,letting my hands heal...
i feel like i missing a few things but idk....

woww justin. uve been busyy!

AND NOTHING INVOLVES THE MONTE :( damn you life and daily drivers!!!!!


o yeah that one thing i forgot.. i got a "305" from my buddy rick from his 74 blazer but when i ran the cast it came up with 350 so i have to dubble check i have the numbers right

haha yeah i noticed that. but itll come in time, jsut gotta be patient & get other things outta the way so u can concentrate more on the monte stuff =D

dude is the kirby vac like the upper class vac or what? I always hear of that, and a friend at work has one that is like 40 years old!!

oh yeah, up this late? I'm off tomorrow and Friday! keep up the up-keep of the daily rides Justin! great work keeping the family and you going! later bro!

Chris my kirby is literially 25+ year old and still runs like a champ they are verry good vacums but a new one will run ya a good 2grand easy, i got mine in trade for fixin a buddy's car that works at

vac shop, u can pick up a used one for like $150

Justin looks like you really have been busy.

Nice update though :)

One day you'll get around to the Monte, don't worry!

Those kirby's run for like forever. Don't get rid of it. Vacuums don't last like that anymore. Great vacuum.

I love the the led's in the headlight assemblies. Cool look. Even if it is a Furd. LOL.

How deep are those scratches on the Mytique? Would most of them buff out? Nice job you did on bringing the color back. Too bad about the scratches though.

You certainly have been busy. And a little bored if you polished the chrome on your vacuum. LOL (just kidding)
