any updates on the dart and the orange tinderbox?

Ever get any decent pics?

The Spitfire: Thought I'd fixed the clutch. Maybe I did, but now it's not cranking.

The Dart: I dropped the manifold, injectors, and a throttle body from a Ford 4.6 off at a local machine shop a week ago. They're kind of busy but will get back to me with a quote for making injector bungs, a fuel rail, and an adapter for the throttle body in a few days.

My fiancee wants me to get these running before we get married. Me too.

sounds like you met the right girl.



Most would just want em gone.


Posted by: MadScientistMatt

Actually, with all the trouble it's been giving me, I want the Spitfire gone half the time!

And if we sell it, that'll clear the way for buying her first project car.

Hmmmm how much ya want for it?


Posted by: MadScientistMatt

If I sold it, I'd probably be looking for around $2,500 if I get it running. That's what I paid for it originally, and I've made some major fixes to the wiring and the clutch. If somebody just wanted to buy it as-is, where-is, I might consider $1,500.


Posted by: MikeT

just wondering. I'd love to have one (thats in good shape.) But I need to buy a 4x4 instead.

No, he buys a car, posts all kinda stuff about the mods hes doing. But when you ask for pics all he has are grainy thumbnails he took with a cell phone.

Right now the only digital camera I've got besides the cell phone is not much better, and I'm not going to use film if I can't get a clear shot of the car.

On the other hand, Ebay has been pretty good to me lately. I just might have to get a half decent digital camera.

Just don't go cheap and buy an off-brand or a camera made by a company that primarily makes computers (HP, Gateway, etc.). Stick with Canon, Minolta, Sony, Nikon, Fujitsu, and you pretty much can't go wrong.

I've got a 4MP Minolta that cost me a little over $200 and takes fantastic pictures, and is the size of a deck of cards.

Here's a pretty good deal:

Canon A510 at Buy.com

Camera Review

Sample Pictures

Photos are real clear. You definitely won't need anything more than 3MP unless you're going to want to enlarge photos beyond 8x10...with this clarity, you could probably get away with enlarging to 11x13. 4x6's and 5x7's will be crystal clear.

And here's a nice, cheap 512MB SD card for it:
