Losing it!
(Preview)
So I bought these plexi-glass display cabinets from 34Guy awhile back. There were a few scratches on them and I need to get them ready for the upcoming ELTA Bash, So I watersanded them with 400, 600, 1200, and 2000. On to finding my polishers. Hours later I find one of them, but it's only an orbital unit.....

OD Trans for Big Block Chevy

I would like to put an overdrive trans in my Jimmy and was wondering how a 700r4 would hold up behind the 454. I would also be doing some towing with it as well. I've heard that they're weak when it comes to towing.

Speed Channel no more.
(Preview)
Learned the other day that Speed Channel is no more on Cogeco cable. It is apparently something to do with CRTC and the lack of Canadian content. I guess the Cogeco contract with speed expired on the 15th of July and CRTC said no to renew. What a major Pi-- off that is. Time to go to Dish or Direct TV.
