Has anyone seen the space yet? Is there room to setup the projector and screen I am bringing?

If anyone realizes the forgot something send me a note before tomorrow morning and I will bring it along when I come over tomorrow.

First order of the day was driving up to John (triton)'s house in some iowa bum town. Then we rifled his gun collection (bad pun)

A new challenger appears!!!!

prepare to die
Image

we set up shop in one of john's many rooms. All thursday was spent working on random crap. I made a NOAC portable to find that the screen didn't actually work. bleh
Image
Image
Image

massive CRT projector
Image

the failed portable... worked fine except the screen A/D was screwed
Image
Image

Shot the Ruger .22 pics of the remington new model army .44

Slight battle wound... john cut his thumb with an exacto knife
Image

Our ride to MGC, courtesy of john's friend dylan. This thing is completely and utterly hilarious
Image
It's pretty common when doing engine swaps in these to just unbolt the engine and lift it up yourself without a hoist or anything

Met up with a friend with another 3000GT. Same year and model as mine, his is less awesome because it's an automatic though. No hard feelings
