BlueBird Reply #17 – October 06, 2018, 11:05:04 PM Color me motivated. I have made and changed plans, wrapped up a few projects, moved some stuff around to make space, and finally taken the one big step that needed done to kick this into gear. I moved the BlueBird from storage into my shop.It moved under its own power even. Running out of fuel and a stuck RF brake, but it did it! Shawn got a TC, Claude pulled his Cougar out of the field, Greg put a motor back in his car and went to a race; I gotta get in on this action! Quote Selected

BlueBird Reply #23 – October 08, 2018, 05:18:39 PM I suppose if you want to own it I blame myself. I was covered up with projects and took this in anyhow. Seeing it sit while I tried to create the perfect situation to get started actually made the lack of motivation worse. I added a temporary roadblock with another short term project, right at a point where I was almost ready, partially because I was overwhelmed with the scope this car had grown to include.Thankfully for my own sanity I was able to keep that short term project short, and it is ready to move down the road. Realizing it was not a long term keeper helped lift my motivation to get busy on this car which is a known quantity on keeper status. Seeing you other guys getting back into your own cars has certainly added fuel to the fire. Now it is Chuck's turn! Time to take a Volvo break, and wrap up the side Ranger, so you can get back to your Tbird too.These showed up today. Added to the pile of bits I have been squirreling away. Thanks Mark!

BlueBird Reply #25 – October 08, 2018, 09:46:09 PM That will depend on how many times I change my mind between now and whenever I complete a motor swap. :hick:Currently stage1 consists of 5spds, 5lugs, and SFCs. We will go from there Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #26 – October 09, 2018, 01:12:18 AM Put an LS in it..Kidding!But a Coyote would be just neater'n hell propped up, with a shovel full of snow thrown under it for good measure. Even the new 2.3 Ecobooster, but, it's easy to mentally spend others' money. I'm scrounging to find a solid, running 460 for my '84. Quote Selected

BlueBird Reply #28 – October 09, 2018, 07:25:32 AM I thought I was only supposed to grab 2 sets if they were sn95 and needed modded, my fault. Quote Selected

Time to take a Volvo break, and wrap up the side Ranger, so you can get back to your Tbird too.I knew that was coming. Trust me, I'm trying to. The Ranger isn't a "side" project, just getting it sorted for winter duty (I now need to replace the PS front spring bracket :p)The 850 needs a couple PM things to get it through the next few months. Sadie's engine swap took up a bit of time too this season.I'd really like to wrap up the 240 T5 swap before the weather turns sour (Seeing as it lives in a copuppies all winter).The garage is much better organized, but I'm still working on that too. At least the TBird has a heated house, so that should help with getting more done this winter. Quote Selected
