Well, I guess the engine has made some decent power.  I emailed Mike since I hadn't heard when the episode which supposedly mentions my mounts will air.
I don't really have any more details on the car.

Yeah. :( And I'm a 4 cyl and they despise that here. Only v8's are cool here. I hate when someone asks which car is mine and I tell them and they are like "oh." and walk off.


The only reason they hate your 4banger is they want that gas mileage yet the ability to smoke there v8's too. Then after they asked which car is yours tell them the one that still holds the fastest lap at Talladega and Daytona in the Nascar. That might just spark there interest!

Yes, because NASCAR used the 2.3 in their Cup cars...that's why they were so ed fast.. :shakehead:slap:

That's pretty awesome they are using your mounts on a nationally televised TV show man.

They have some of my motor mounts for the car.  Still waiting to see when that portion will be on.

 
It was on today.... they mentioned Turbo-Chuck, "mounts for a niche market"

Guess I'll have to try and catch it when it's on, or see if they'll actually send me my copy.

I can't seem to get them to play.  They owe me a copy anyway.

Too bad I didn't have the MN-12 Trans mount/x-member done that I'm working on.  Still in prototyping/testing stages though.

Im glad they are doing a Tbird project, but does anyone else think this project wasnt exactly thought through very well? First they call it a sleeper, then throw in a carb engine that they wont fit under a stock hood. They mod up some cool header work, then put on cats.... no crossover on the exhaust... and CHERRY BOMBS?

I wonder if they will wear mullet wigs on the final episode.

They were cool about Chucks mounts though.

As a proud mullet wearer myself, I resemble that remark. :hick:

I tell ya, I'd buy you a beer for that man, solely for the not giving a  about what anyone thinks and doing what you love and being who you want to be. That's the spirit!
