I'm Back !

I'm BACK ! I'm sorry I was not able to update or reply to the site for SO long. I was in Afghanistan the 3 MONTHS ! If I had still been a soldier I would have had more time and privlidges with the internet time. However, with the limited time I did have, all I really wanted to do was read emails from my wife and family. GOD ! It's SO good to be home.

I know it may take a few days to catch up with everyone, but it's time to get fired up. I took a short vacation and the rest of this week, I'm cleaning my shop out. Thanks to deployment $ I'm actually able to add 20 x 20 more squair feet to expand my shop and finnally get myself a LIFT ! Oh, and incase you were wondering, the first car in line is my 86. The Ultamate 4ac has been VERY patently waiting in plastic for my return. Well, wait no longer ! The time has COME.

Once again, it's great to be home.

Welcome home! It's good to have you back.

Welcome back. Glad to hear that you made it back from a place like Afghanistan... :S

Welcome back, we all missed you.

Welcome back! Your older posts helped me out a lot. Looking forward to new ones.

I WAS an Army Ranger for 6 years. I was attached to the 82nd LRSD "Long Range Survailance Detachment". "RECON"
I did 3 combat tours, 2 in Iraq and one in Afganistan. I got out of the service in late 04 and went to work for a company called "Mission Tech" Now I'm a UAV instructor pilot and field tech.
However, my job took me back to Afganistan. But this time as a civilan, make'n the big $.

My block, rods and crank are gze 7 rib. The crank pullies for ge and ac have different spacing. Due to that spacing I had to switch water pumps from AC to GE, to correct the distance. I also had to use a ge alternator because the ac alt would not fit the ge bracket.

If you need more, I can send pics later. Showing the differences. This is why my build took so long. It is literaly a frankinstien.

Welcome back, and happy birthday und-R-steer

Man, i'm jealous!
I originally was going to sign under the Army's 18x contract
but, I decided to go Airforce and become a Combat Weatherman.
I'm currently conditioning while i wait until they send me off to basic.
I need to be in top shape if I want any chance in making it.

Anyways, much respect to you for being a Ranger.
Any job that requires you to go middle east better be paying you good!
Your life could be at stake.
