Stop in for a cup of coffee

So I know you guys are going to find this Hard to believe. Today I took my Yamaha over to the Yamaha dealer to have them look at the damage and give me an estimate. I have insurance on the motorbike but I don't think I'm going to be needing it. They are going to change out all of the scraped up plastic panels and fix it properly. They have ordered 15 parts. I have to wait a couple of weeks for them to come in. All of the parts will cost me approximately 1,466000 dong or $56 USD. They will do all of the labor for 220000 dong or $8.50 USD. Unfriggin believable.

Yeah, and the fact that he works hard most days installing security cameras for his Boss. I'd guess he only makes about 5 million per month . That's a little less than $200 USD... :rolleyes:
 
Good Morning All! I must be so excited about my cutover today that I thought I'd get an early start lol! Better thing that's happening today is camshaft comes in (was delayed a day) and the heads arrive.

Wow! I'm bringing my Duster over there to have it built/worked on lol!
 
Hey Mitch can I get your opinion on a transmission selection for my car? Engine builder and transmission shop I spoke with both like the overdrive models, like a 518 I think. Is it a bunch of modding with the mounts to get that into an A body Duster?

Do you really need that Rich. Or can you live with a stock transmission? I have always been a big fan of keeping things mostly original if you can

I don't know as I've never had a mopar. I will say I liked my 4 speed 700R4 in my Burb but that was, like you say, original. I would think it more important to get the stall right, and gear ratio. The shop I talked to can build a 904 plenty strong for the anticipated 420ish horsepower
 
Morning!
Tried to sleep until 5, but legs aching made me get up. Back on the GMC fenders today, couple small patches. Maybe move some vehicles around. Time to put the Fargo and Studebaker into their winter resting place. Snow in forecast next week.
 
Yeah the guy mentioned a longer tail, can't imagine that would not equal having to mod the mounts which I do not want to do. Hell I don't even know what the car had in it, was originally a /6 and I bought it w/o engine or trans. I'm hoping that a 904 will bolt right up
