I'll be back on the road soon!!!

I got a sweet package deal on an RPM built 4L60E and a 3.42 differential with shot-peened and micro-polished gears and a hardened driver's side shaft. $2800 shipped for both!

Also ordered an off-the-shelf vig2800 stall from EPP. People say they're underrated so I'm hoping for actual 3000-3200rpm stall.

Just incase anybody cares or was thinking of going to M.O.S.H. for their big animated dinosaur exhibit. I think it's called dinomania. Save your money. Wich was $25.00 for my wife, daughter, and me. They only have six or seven displays and the T-Rex is only about 8 feet tall. I was very disappointed and so was my daughter and she's only 4 years old. Just a heads up.

We've been for the regular exhibit a couple of times but this is supposed to be special. The dinosaurs are animated. It runs until Sept. or Oct. All the other exhibits we've gone to in the past were great but all the animated dinosaurs SUCKED. The wooly mamoth was the size of a horse.

Born in Melbourne,Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored
on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special
effects for such films as Labyrinth,

a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. Eventually Mueck concluded
that photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the
original

object, and so he turned to

fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising

days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was
wondering what material would do the trick.

Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise.

Luckily, he saw a little arch! itectural decor on the wall of a boutique
and inquired as to th e nice, pink stuff's nature.

Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and

marble ever since.

His work is lifelike but not life size, and being face to face with the

tiny, gossiping Two Women (2005) or the monumental woman In Bed (2005)
is an unforgettable experience.
