Thanks guys! :) I thought I had made a sig with my name in it, but it was after my posts, so I either screwed up, or it's not retroactive. I'm not really new to this forum thing, REALLY!! :wink:

My name is Kelly, wife's name is Genevieve :)

I WISH Voodoo was my other project, but this is more like it:

The day after that pic was taken, I had this:

I've come to the conclusion that you can only go so fast on the ground :wink: I do also have some R/C's, as I'm sure many members here do :)

Sweet VW's!!! I've always had a thing for a Corrado VR-6, but never made it happen... :cry:

What kind of rpms were you turning when that thing let loose? :o

I am guessing that you must have done something wrong when the hood was up in order to make that hole in the metal when the hammer went down!!!

HI KEN!! :wave:

Chad, I've always loved the sound the VR's make and actually thought about putting one in my car, but didn't want to pay the weight penalty. The motor wasn't even getting spun up to the factory redline of 6800rpm. I have an MSD ignition in it right now that would quit working altogether (My Spark Disappeared) at around 6700, then pick back up again after the revs dropped, with a BIG backfire. My theory is that the backfire floated the exhaust valve long enough to allow the piston to hit it. The MSD will get repalced when I find some time (I have the repalcement already), then I'm going to have fun venting some angst :evil:

A few (few?!) months late on this response, but I can't say enough good stuff about ReliefBand. Before Spike bought it for me, I'd start turning green before we were wheels-up. I swear, it is the best thing E-V-A-R. I think I've been flying with it for about two years now. If I start feeling the slightest bit sick, I turn it up a notch.

I'm even thinking about taking it on vacation next month (oh, you guys don't know? We're doing DISNEY for our fifth anniversary!) and trying it out on some ROLLER COASTERS. :D :o :puke:

Hi Ian! :wave: That drill is just like my cordless which I use a lot. If you think the workbenches make you cray, wait until you get a year or so into the airplane! :o

Have fun!

Now that I finally figured out how to post pictures (thanks for the help, guys!) I guess it's time to post something here. I thought I should keep it RV related. This was taken last March, very proud of my newly finished Rudder.

Haven't posted much but I keep tabs on all of the goings on here. Hope to put some air UNDER the tires in a couple of months. Starting to get all covered in kandy apple red paint. Will post more pictures as N14SE transforms from aluminum to House of Kolor kandies
