Rob Peters Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Joe, that is scary stuff. I wonder if the dog had maybe been stung by a spider, bee or something else and was having a reaction to that. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hope she is OK Joe!!!! 2+ is no time to worried about stuff like that. Good Luck on results. I had a 4 year old Rottie that passed for no reason. Vet said he had no idea. that maybe she ate something. She had no signs of any bite from another animal. ???

jft69z Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thanks guys, so far she seems normal again. As far as why, who knows. It was 6 AM, everyone was comfortable in bed (except me). Sue heard her get out of bed, start throwing up in the bathroom, then headed back to the bedroom where she had the seizure. Lasted about 30 seconds she said. During that time, the dog had bit Sue's hand pretty good, but not on purpose as she was out of it at the time. She heard the other dog get in her face just before the seizure, and growled at her like she's never heard before, so who knows if that triggered it? Since then, if they start to act up, or play around like that, I stop it immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 I hope Sue is ok also, that’s a tough spot. The other dog was probably growling because it did not recognize the emotions of the pup. It was probably more scared then upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say what was going thru the other one's head, she was in her face though I guess. Sue told her to knock it off or something like that. It all happened so fast she said.

Dtret Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 I got all 4 of my speakers yesterday. Rewired to use the factory harness, installed factory mounting brackets and the “ hangers that hold the insulation covers. Grill is almost done too. Went to work on the new 71 am/fm radio I bought, that may have been a bad idea, I think I broke something when I was removing the am/fm slide lever. Now I have to really tear into it. I should have left it alone but NOOOO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 So as you’re aware I had to send my girl to rehab. She had an excessive drinking problem, smoking issues and she was in general bad shape. She really needed help. I contemplated whether she would take to the rehab and I knew it would be really expensive. But I broke down and sent her off for a 6 month term. There were some bumps and bruises along the way which created setbacks. But today she came home. She’s bright and she has her color back. Instead of a bad attitude she now has a BAD A.. attitude, which I really like. I do realize that there will be bumps along the road. I also know there is no cure for her drinking problem. I don’t know what the future holds but it looks positive. My girl before and after. Lol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Sorry about the story but it’s been so long it’s like a new toy. I forgot to add the “attitude “. Not bad for basic stock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks all. The engine builder said he could have played with the timing and got it to 450 hp but would not have been as “drivable”. He also jokingly said throw a cam and intake on and he could have gone over 500 hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 That's good news, now you can move forward with the rest of the drivetrain installation. That long road is getting shorter by the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 I don’t understand how it happened but I somehow got done with work early today. Home by 1:00. Lol. Figured I putz a little. Not bad for an hour and 10 minutes. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Looks good! Next hour you can get the exhaust system all buttoned up. By the end of tonight you'll probably have the power steering pump and alternator bolted on too if I had to guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Been on the phone bs’ing the last three hours. People wasting my time. Don’t they understand? Lol. My brothers. O well.

Dtret Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Quick question. E brake cables. Below crossmember and driveshaft. Above exhaust. Is that correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
