Fordfreaks BBQ is still on standby

[fordfreak300]

I haven't Planned the BBQ yet guys/gals. I am finally back at work and next weekend is my daughters birthday party and then 4th of July weekend. I'll plan it for after that. Or maybe I'll plan it for the 4th of July weekend end if you guys are interested. That would make it Sat July 7th. That's exactly 5 days after my 35th birthday.

[anthonydalrymple]

Don't worry my friend; we'll get together when we can....... Your date will work fine by me and you know I'll take up the "slack" wherever it needs to be "adjusted"....;) I just commited to a Rush concert here in the third week of July; but it's durring the week and not involving a weekend......

[fordfreak300]

ok so lets set July 7th tentatively and see what Jeremy and everyone else thinks.

[v8only]

let me check on the palm pilot later and I'll get back.

[50 Proof]

I'm out if it's on the 7th, i'll be at a concert.

[anthonydalrymple]

I'm out if it's on the 7th, i'll be at a concert.

Which one? Better not just throw me a group; I'll check and ratt you out.....;)

[Marz]

July 7th? I'll be at a heavy metal show that night. :(

what about on the 8th?

:|

Or... we can have a get together at fordfreaks then head on off to the heavy metal show at the Whisky... Should be fun. The old man (Tony) can come too! :P

[AT6svo]

I'm totally booked up on the 7th. But then again, so is all of July :(

[50 Proof]

I'll be at The Hootenanny watching Social Distortion among other bands. Hot girls and classic hot rods, it's a good combination :D

If you knew where Mark (fordfreak) lived, you'd be booked for the next year :lol:

haha j/k....Mark...if you're still out there...

Ok Corey... I'll bite... where does he live?

[50 Proof]

Ok Corey... I'll bite... where does he live?

Well if he hasn't moved since the last time, Palm springs area, but a little further I believe.

It's a fun drive out there. I've been to his place before, it's worth the drive out. At night, the sky is crystal clear out, not much traffic

[fordfreak300]

I live north of palmsprings. It's a nice hike out here so you won't be coming out here then back to LA to goto the Whiskey. How about sat July 14th/ does that sound better? Sundays are bad for me as I have to leave for work at 2:30am. SO it has to be a sat, plus that gives us old fogies a day to recuperate.

I don't see any issues with that so far.... 14 sounds good.

I'm sur ethat whatever I do with this new girl (Sophie) I'm talking to... we can work around that. But... if I don't show... It'll be because of Sophie. I like you guys... but I like Sophie alot more... ;)

But so far it sounds good.

:D

What happened to pamala and her 5 sisters? :p

the 14th works for me

[AT6svo]

North of PS eh? Morongo by chance?

I have friends that live in PS too.

I like the desert area. Unfortunately I will be camping on the weekend of the 14th.

[Marz]

:lol:

No... the woman I went to see in England finally showed exactly who she was. It did not end well and my vacation was cut short cause I couldn;t stand to be around her. Sad thing is... she still doesn't have a clue and thinks she did no wrong and thinks I was the only one that was a pain. It's a long story thats not really worth telling any more.

Basically, She's a liar and I don't like talking to people like that.

I'm paying attention to Sophie right now. Taking it slow ans seeing where it'll go.

Wish me luck on that one!

[fordfreak300]

I live in Yucca Valley just past Morongo. Where ya camping at? I havn't camped in a few years I miss camping.

Marz you can bring Sofie with you. My wife and 2 kids will be here.

Jeremy don't forget to tell Big T and bring him again. Tell him I will have a perfect straw waiting for him.

We need to let Slick5.0 know, has he seen this thread yet?

[50 Proof]

I'll let him know, I talk to him often. He needs to fix the problem with his fuel injectors popping out.

I have that day free... Sophie is watching her friends kids.... so it's all good. No worries there.

Also, I still don't know Sophie well enough to let her in the inner circle yet. Once I know her for sure... only then would I concider her able to meet my friends. ;)

Also is it possible you could help me install those clutch pack in my GT's 8.8" rear? I think you were the one that said you'd done the upgraded mod before... right? I have the clutch discs I just need the fresh gear oil. I've been wanting to do this for a while.

Thanks

[Slick 5.0]

hey mark. I'm going to have my car run in by the end of next week. looking forword to going. I'm going to try and get the day off from work. What time are you going to have people come out?

Hmmmmm....... Mark? He'd have to get to your place early and bring plenty of food and or beer me thinks....... What say you? ;)

[v8only]

14th is out for me, wife is out of state, i've got the kids....

how about the 21st?? thats' the ONLY day I can pull it off, and no i'm not bringing the kids up on the 14th.

[AT6svo]

I live in Yucca Valley just past Morongo. Where ya camping at?

Damn, thats pretty close to J-tree! I like camping out there.

We'll be in the local mountains just a tad east of San Diego, Lake Jennings to be exact.

[fordfreak300]

Jeremy but my kids will be here. Ok is the 21st good for everyone else? it loosk like I my self will be working on the 14th very likely which will be a 6th day for me. SO that means time and a half for the first 8 hours and 2 1/2 after 8. I usually work 14 to 18 hour days.

Marz as long as you come early on the day we decide to have the BBQ we can do your rear end. Bring beer, Tony and I bribe very well with it :)

I can throw a rock from my house and hit J-tree. I am on the far side of town that backs up to J-Tree.

[v8only]

sorry to have to throw the date off everyone, this month and next are so tight, i'm lucky to have the 21st...hopefully everyone is available then too.

See how things sound when taken out of context lol

[v8only]

isn't it amazing how easily the guys will do each others rear ends for a simple few beers??

[Marz]

:omg:

F'ing pervs!

:lol:

[anthonydalrymple]

isn't it amazing how easily the guys will do each others rear ends for a simple few beers??

Only because you kept showing yours off and your skills at handling the rears Jeremy....;) To everyone's satisfaction no less......

[50 Proof]

So is the 21st official? What time? There is also a Mustang cruise going on that day in the morning. I want to do both but might only have time for the BBQ.

[fordfreak300]

Yes the 21st is official. We can start the BBQ at noon and go til when ever.

[anthonydalrymple]

Whoohoo! The 21st it is!
I'll bring 'da distributor...... Anything else needed that I may have or can keep an eye out 'fer 'ya?

[fordfreak300]

Well Jeremy is seeing if he has a stock upper and lower intake t-body and spacer for me. Yo uhave the distributor. I have the fuel injectors already and a fuel rail. I have vale covers already as well. I will need a washer bottle from a 87+ car and battery tray also to relocate my batter to the other side. I need a complete EFI harness and injector harness and O2 harness matching (will have to find in a yard and get as a whole) I am going to be looking for an A9L computer. I really need to write my self a list of everything needed to have handy and mark off what I have on it as I get it all. If someone finds a EFI harness with injector harness and O2 harness while at a yard and can grab it I will pay you for it on the day of the BBQ if you can yank it out and bring it. I also will pay for an A9L computer if someone has one and can bring it to the BBQ. Hopefully Dean comes and can bring the gas tank. I also need fuel lines and all sensors and actuators.


Corey do you have an extra 86 sending unit I can get off of you? Jeremy said you may have an extra one.

[v8only]

shoot him a pm.

Mark, the intake will work fine. IN fact, time to learn to port, it'll save you a gob of cash. a stock mustang intake that's been ported will easily flow as much as a stock unported explorer intake, so that's the route I'd go.

[fordfreak300]

Learn how to port? hehe I already know how too, I'll just have to look up Tmoss's website to see where it needs ported at.

[Slick 5.0]

I have a 87 ecu and i have 86 sending unit, washer bottle.

[fordfreak300]

I'll take the sending unit and washer bottle off of your hands and give you some cash. Can ya bring them to the BBQ? I don't want the 87 computer as it is speed density and I am going mass air.


The BBQ is on the 21st of this month.

[anthonydalrymple]

I've got an extra throttle body spacer too.....

[fordfreak300]

awesome bring it in case Jeremy doesn't find one.

[v8only]

yea, the spacer is the only item I "may" not have.

[Dean_T]

Mark, you have PM. Essentially, your Fuell supply and return line worries are over. I have an extra set I can donate to the cause. You will need to redo the plastic fuel line part, though.

I may even have the tank shield too. I'd like to watch you and Jasen set up an 8.8 if I may, I've spent way too much having other do it for me.

If my luck holds out, I'll be bringing it all in the '78 Fairmont wagon so you won't have to unbend the fuel lines...

Dean T

[fordfreak300]

I PMed you back Dean. The fuel lines are great. I have the plastic parts on the fuel rail side already. So I am good their. You are more than welcome to watch us do Jasen's rear end.


I am excited about the BBQ. I havn't seen any of you for over a year. It has been way too long!!! I think next weekend i will get off my butt and install my heater core that I have had laying around for a while so it is out of the way. I will also reinstall all of my AC stuff and have it ready to be charged.

[fordfreak300]

For the BBQ this is what we need.

Hamburgers and hot dogs and associated buns.
Potato salad
Chips
soda
Beer
Charcoal and lighter fluid.
Dean said he is good with cookies so we will have those there.
That is all that was eaten and/or drank at the last BBQ

[anthonydalrymple]

I'll do like I usually do when we meet at Jeremy's place; I'll bring the finances for the trip to the grocery store to pickup whatever is needed.....;)

[Slick 5.0]

mark do u need a 86 up fan shroud?

[v8only]

i've got some free **** myself, an 85 style fan shroud, I think an 82 style fan shroud, a metal 82 fan, maybe some more stuff. Not sure if anyone needs that crap0.

[Dean_T]

If anyone wants '86 Mustang GT front seats that are bio hazards (some critter barfed on the driver's seat) I'll bring them but you better speak up before the big day. The less I have to touch the things, the better! They need reupholstering, for sure...

Dean T

[v8only]

I could use the halo's if you're gonna trash em

[anthonydalrymple]

I'll be bringing a couple things. I have a clean '89 fan shroud, maybe a near new fan clutch, a new 4" diameter race crank pulley, etcetera...... i have so much stuff to dispose of it's not funny.... Oh, and I do happen to have a Mark 8 fan as well..... The list can indeed grow....;)

[Dean_T]

Jeremy, I'd gladly give them to you but that would mean putting my hands inside the upholstery risking getting cut and dying from the flesh eating bacteria. They're faded (remember, the car is a convertible) so I'm not sure you'ld want to risk it either. I'm willing to give the whole seats to you to do what you want.

Dean T

[fordfreak300]

Hey guys I have been gone at work all week. The BBQ is still on. I will be gone at work all week this week so I may not be able to respond to any PMS or the boards. My adress is
6449 El Dorado Ave
Yucca Valley CA 92284

Last time people met up at Jeremy's and caravaned out. You might think of doing that again. Tony bring that fan. I was going to go get one from a yard anyway. Thanx to all the parts being donated I can afford to get a few things for my car to help out. I plan to have the car on the road in the 4 weeks or less. I am shooting for less.

See ya guys next sat. I will be hgome all weekend for anyone whom needs to talk to me. Jeremy has my cell number if anyone needs it PM him and he can give it to you. I always have my cell with me and it is always on.

[fordfreak300]

Well I am off to work for the week. I will try my best to check in on this thread about any questions or concerns. My address is posted above and Jeremy has my cell number as well as I PMed it to anthonydalrymple Feel free to call me My cell is always with me. Can't wait to see everyone on Sat!!!!

[v8only]

who all plans on driving up vs carpooling??

originally I was gonna cruise the vert up, but top down 100 degree + heat in a summer drive doesn't sound so fun anymore.

I'm thinking of just riding up with corey, maybe in the 4 banger, as it's got ac.

what are all you doing??? We could meet at my place again as usual, anyone wanna carpool (we can drink more that way too) or do people all wanna drive up seperately?

[anthonydalrymple]

I'll meet for the drive...... But it'll be in my car with the tops down fer me.....;) P.S. Bill Hoskins(muh buddy from years back) will be a rid'in shoot gun.....;)

[v8only]

i've decided to cruise up the vert.. Corey will likely be sitting shotgun.

FYI, my buddy terry wants to come (most of you know him) and he needs a ride....marz, tony, anyone got a pass seat??

I'm going to bring my trunklid to install on sat, as well as an upper/lower intake and throttle body, and some harness for mark, so my back seat will be full of car parts.

I'll take him regardless of which car I take.

I'm hoping it's the GT. I just got my new Stainless Steel Needles in for the carb. I plan on putting them in after work tomorrow... er... today... you know.. Thursday. :| I hope they will fix the issue! if not... the LTD LX is going and the rear end on the GT will once again just have to wait.

Also... I'll bring a couple really neat beers.... but we should get some locally that are cold.

I'm planing on an AB for a couple of guys regardless of which car I take!

What is an AB?

I'd really like to cruise my 86 GT up but my gas gauge is all messed up and I don't know if I trust the clicking noise my TOB is making :(

[v8only]

anyone know if moe111 -- Robert is coming??

[v8only]

OK guys, here is my itinerary:

--I'm LEAVING my place at 9:30 AM SAT morning from corona. I want to beat as much of the heat as possible. Sun burns from topless cruising, and overheating in 110 degree weather isn't fun...(my radiator should be good though, but you never know, right?)


All of you oc and la guys should meet at my place at 9am if that's possible, if you want to train up.

FYI, I'm showing that it's about 80 miles from my house, so considering no traffic, and no problems, the journey should take less than an hour and a half from corona.

I need to know who's going to meet up at my place at 9am sat.

marz, I'm telling terry you have space for him. (although he's saying now it's not 100% for sure that he's going)

Tony, I looked it up on a map, and it is indeed the 10 straight down. You're closer to it than I am, so it would make sense for us to all caravan up the 91, and meet you at 10am say at a gas station at the 91 and 10 fwy, how does that sound???

[50 Proof]

OK guys, here is my itinerary:

--I'm LEAVING my place at 9:30 AM SAT morning from corona.

Do we need to add a half hour or so to whatever time you tell us you'll be ready by? :p

[v8only]

I told terry 8:45, lol. I want to literally be gone by 930, not arrive at 930, gone by ten. I plan on meeting tony at 10, so even leaving by 930 is still a stretch.

it's absolutely important we get to my place by 9 at the latest, or we won't get out on time.

[fordfreak300]

I promise I will be at teh destination on time. :P

No problems really if you have your cell phone..... You can call me when you hit the 60 while traveling north, I head south to the 10, and we litterally will be able to "phone home" our location to each other with out stopping at all...... Only one vehicle or the other may need to slow down a bit....;)

[v8only]

clear your damn pm inbox out eh?

[anthonydalrymple]

Whoops.... Done.....:oops:

[Dean_T]

Well, hell. No phone, no pool, no pets. Ain't got no cigarettes! I'm driving the Fairmont wagon of evil and for me it's a straight shot from the 118/210/10/62. It's going to take me at least 3 hours. If I dog leg to Corona, I'd have to leave my house either 6:30 or 7:00am. Ugh. I think 8:30 straight shot would do me better. I'm not much of a morning person.

Dean T

[v8only]

I understand, for you guys who live out there, just head on down!! 3 hours is a long trip!

[v8only]

I dropped a ****ing cast iron intake and carb on my big tow last night while disassembling tony's t5z.......(trying to pull it apart on the press, knocked over the intake)

ouch it hurts like all hell!

:(

[v8only]

clutch toe :(

we'll see how it is tomorrow.

the whole f'r has turned black and blue. I've been wearing my steeltips today to minimize any other damage.

[fordfreak300]

Good thing is was your shift toe, once you hit the freeways you won't need to shift much.

By the way I told ya I wouldn't be late to the destination, I am home now. My poor work bench is covered in car parts. I need to clean it up a bit.

[Marz]

news....

I will be taking the LTD. I will not drive the GT with the holley acting up. Looks like I'll need to get a rebuild kit and well.. rebuild it.

Knw where i can get a holley rebuild kit with nonstick gaskets?

Thnks!
