You probably just can't hear the tick over the compressor pump running.

the 2.9 lifter tick i'm familliar with you'd hear over a 747 taking off.

the compressor is actually pretty quiet.from in the house(which it 15' away)i can't tell if it's running unless i open the back door.with the racket some of the compressors i've had in the past made,this one makes me quite happy.

and there it is...the first part out of the mold.it turned out pretty good.

i still need to put the top plate on it,i'll do that tomorrow if i have time(damn work)and then i might just make a second one.that way i'll have a spare already made,i can paint it up at the same time so it'll be ready to use.

what are you doing for a grill?

 

[ranger_mclaren]

man that look really good. but after lookin at those last pics this came to mind.

BTW you can tell this isn't a real Z24 by the emblem, Z24s had a hollowed out red bow tie.

i'm making one out of aluminum,it will be chromed.just thin vertical slats.

it's a pretty standard layout....licence plate in the middle,a vent on either side.

ya,there should be a big 'no chevys allowed' sign on the door.

c'mon...that's not even a challenge

i wish i could get to the pics of the 94 splash i did for a guy some years back.the hard drive is at a computer guru's place right now...i should know soon if i'll just have to give up hope.

So long as the hard drive is still in one piece you can almost always have it saved by a data recovery specialist.

that was my thought....the big factor seems to be what it'll cost.what i've been hearing is that it can cost thousands to do a difficult recovery...i'm not sure just how much those pics are worth to me.

But you're an essential member of the TRS family, those pics are part of our heritage and must be recovered at any price!
