And I thought that there wasn't anything in Oildale other than rusty 4WD trucks with gunracks.......

(joking)

Good luck with your new shop. Your flier looks great.

[syborg tt]

well that stinks I new i should have blown off Mothers day and headed to Kenny's this weekend.

[ironworks]

We have done few of those, You must be local to be familar with the 08.

Hay John what do you think of the gun rack idea for you car, It sounds real nice. Maybe a carbonfiber gun rack, No that's raising the bar.

They don't have those kinda cars in oildale for some reason. I don't know why. IT really is a shame.

Rodger

[CraigMBA]

RIGHT. EXACTLY. LOL.

I used to go to watch the NARC sprint car events at the dirt track about 15 years ago. I grew up near Hanford.

The two things I'll never forget about Oildale. The never ending line for Taco Bell (even at 1 am it was 15 cars deep) and the fact I never saw a black person in town. Never. Not once. Drive over the river to Bakersfield and it was a different story, but not in Oildale.

[ironworks]

Time have changed in 15 years in oildale, but down by the river it is still like that. Klan meetings and all. But up by the track is just like bako.

[muthstryker]

is that chevelle on the flier a project perhaps? or just some drawing?

[ironworks]

It is a chevelle and It is the rendering for 2 projects that are in the works. we have not begun either yet, but it is coming. The Trans from gear star should be arriving any time. and If it gives you a clue it cost 19000 for the trans. The engine is an LSX 511 cu in Procharged monster. The other is a turbo charged big Block with a 6 spd and a Quick change. I have not heard Exactly when We are starting that project. Both cars are being built for Pro-touring members.

If you have some more questions let me know.

[Lemons]

Ah, good ol Oildale, I've spent quite a bit of time there myself. My pops lives there.

Craig, you grew up new Hanford. I was born in raised in Lemoore. Not too many people even know where that is, let alone are from there. Sweet.

Rodger,

I love the work you do, that Nova is just amazing. I really like the pushrods and bellcranks on the rear of the truck too, awesome. I would love to check out the place and see your work in person. Hopefully I can swing by on the 19th. I'll actually be in bako thursday for a concert, but saturday I'll be in visalia. Hopefully I can fit it in my schedule. Awesome work.

Chris

So come by Thursday we will be here. It seems like we are always here.

Chris Lemons

Lemoore eh?

I grew up near 16th and Idaho. I had a Hanford number, but went to Lemoore schools.

You're right, nobody knows where Lemoore is unless they were in the Navy. In the 1980's the Chamber of Commerce gave out free bumperstickers that read "There's More in Lemoore" and some crafty kids made four of them read "Where the Hell is Lemoore".

If you asked me in 2001 where I'd be in ten years I'd of answered "right here" (meaning the valley). Amazing how things change.
