[goose69]

OOops, don't think the photo worked. I'll try again./

 

[goose69]

Lots of people looking, any pics or stories from you guys? Might have to drudge up some more of mine.

Boom w-t-f was that

Wish I still had the photo of my driver side spindle and wheel bearing.

My 73 Sat on the day I got her...notice the passenger side tire. Dreaded previous owner spun the wheel bearings and shot the spindle. The other photos are after I had to cut...that's right CUT...the hub off. I'll also see if I can find one of the k-frame the guy snapped. It's also the same guy that used paper towels instead of body plugs and zip ties to mount his throttle cable.

Thats some serious nastiness!

dont have a pic for ya, will have to look through the collection, but this should make ya smile seeing how its destroyed and GM....A friend and I built a 1980 camaro rs t top car into a 383 stroker night mare, ...we had just finished putting a set of dart iron eagle heads on and tuned it in...then, why not go mash on it....myself driving...my wife in back..friend riding shot gun..his car......my time(think he was lil afraid of it any way..more of a truck guy)well he had bought one of those mr gasket scoops for it and put it on...cool looks nice...we head for a ride get 1/4 mile outa town and says come on mash it...so I did....but the throttle never came back..so we start climbing in speed .. after bouncing the needle a few times and standing on the brakes trying to find neutral..the guy reaches over and hits the key...uh o ...now i have no steering at all, locked in place...a lady tries to make a left turn in front of us and we had to do something......as im trying to reef the wheel through the lock pin he reaches over yet again and gives me a hand...we made a direct right hand turn , launched the car over an embankment and land nose first in a river bed and plow muck for 50 yards......**** you not we walked away...what a flippn ride man....after getting out making sure the wifey was ok...she was fine...the tow truck driver, cops and ourselves started lookn for what went wrong.......my buddy hooked the scoop up beautifully except decided we didn't need the locking washer under the nuts on the breather and it had spun around and held us at WOT....when he killed the key switch it sounded like canon's going off...needless to say you should have seen the carnage inside the motor...up till that point I had never seen a piston turn side ways in a cylinder and have the rod make a new path of travel through it...and oh no..not just one, but 5 piston side ways and 3 had no where to put rings on them....but we walked away...it was a every-bodies got one camaro...and IT WASN'T MINE ;) but we did sell it and he now muds jeeps....I build mopars and my wife will ride in my cars...won't go near his with me and a cable pulling her.

If you think that's nasty, I have this 84 5.0 Mustang that the stupid last owner put the wrong lug nuts on. Well, after sitting for 20 years they were seized, of course, and there wasn't enough shoulder to get a socket on them. I ended up having to drill out every one of the freaking wheel studs to get the wheel off.

Bump for the heck of it.

 

[shag766]

[goose69]

Was this the point in time that you changed to a Mopar person? Ok, I had to throw that in.

Thats a good one:headbang:

I guess I don't push my junk hard enough? The worst I've ever had happen was breaking a valve spring in the lights at 7300 rpm but got lucky on it because the inner spring and damper hung onto the valve. All it did was let a roller lifter exit the bore and the one it was linked to spun on the cam. The spring lost two complete coils but I never found anything pieces larger than 1/8th". The back 4 rods and piston bottoms looked like someone stuck a 410 in there and pulled the trigger. The only thing that told me something was wrong was a slight change of engine pitch and the oil pressure falling off. Stopped it as fast as possible....

 

[goose69]

Any carnage from this racing season?

 

[goose69]

bump...

 

[goose69]

Well here are a couple pics from my tow rig's rear end. Its my F350 10 1/4" sterling axle. It chunked the ring & pinion and brought the truck to an abrupt stop!! These things are damn heavy and beefy, but apparently not beefy enough.
What else you guys got to show off?
