We didn't get the white stuff, -there's another guy on this site that got dumped on, just 200 miles north from me. We are getting rain, freezing rain, that's it. Crap man it's almost May...

Thinking about having a machinging/Fab place make me a replica Triton 5.4 engine cover that goes over the throttle body in stainless steel or something else. I've had 1 warp and 1 break at the screw points. Found a local shop that said they might be able to do it if I can bring them the piece.

Anyone else ever looked into doing something similar? Any reason you can see why I shouldn't other than $$?

Well, it's suppose to warm up some towards the end of the month, maybe this is the last of the cold stuff for awhile. Longest winter I can remember.

The Russian's in a way. Well Siberia at least. This last storm was the one that missed Anchorage but got the Sound areas. At the time it moved I couldn't tell where it was heading, so I warned that it was coming. Evidently it spill up some and some went northeasterly and some down the Rockies. I was glad it missed us. It was suppose to be carrying 20 inches for the outer areas. At least it will melt in very short order.
