On the road again
Permalink  
 


So the delivery is on the road again and we will be heading for the 20th Golden Beach car show.The delivery is more legal now than it has ever been.When I blew up after a cruse night I decided to go legit.I traded a big old 77Riveria to Fatstax for a fairly low  milage 350(2bbl?)out of a 76 Impalla.I now have cats ,EGR,PCV,and the canister hooked up.Engine runs like a top and it really didn't cost much more than just a regular motor swap.We used everything we could ofthe Riveria and the Impalla and some stuff Fatstax had around from other scrapped cars .The Rivera cost me a fridge and stove from the shop(retail used 350)The cats cost me 80,The labour is the biggie I think I am now enslaved to Fatstax for quite awhile.Anyway I am not worried about being stopped buy the MOE any more and it cost a lot less than the fines they could have given me.Now I just have to work on keeping the MTO happy and the local cops then there are the neighbours man it ain't easy being a rodder.Next we get the tranie into Fatstax's Buick and we are good to go for the weekend .See you all at Golden Beach

Hats off to you for "following the rules". Now if they sort the rules out and we find out you don't need that stuff, do you take it off or smile at mother nature knowing you've helped her out?

The smiling part I have down pat it comes from driving my car.All I want to do is enjoy my summer .Hopefully I have most of the bases covered .If not than hopefully I have lessened the amount of fines I will have to fight in court,which is what I will do if need be .The only way out of this mess is to make it not worth the hassel either by lessining there revinue stream by being as legal as possible,if we can ever figure out what that is ,or if we fight each and every fine in court maybe it will cost too much to make it worthwhile for MOE and they will move on to something else.As long as they are making money they will keep at it ,you don't really think the delay in getting the requirements for our cars printed or on line is an accident do you.Way too much money coming in as things sit, where is the incentive for them to change anything.

It sure is a mental pain in the arse. It's on just about everyone's mind at every club meeting, car show and cruise night.

It only begs the question..."What's next?"

Enjoy your travels Ed. I'm safe with my bone stock 58 but I feel for all the other guys out there.

Well the Golden Beach car show is tomorrow .I wonder how many hoods will be open.I am thinking of having mine open with a sign stating this is what the MOE wants to see,and you can look at my completely stock, compliant(I hope )completely origional ,1976 2bbl rusty smog motor.What do you think my chances of getting home with my car would be.

It would probably have more power than that 2bbl smog motor. Ed
