- So yesterday was
the day the car was supposed to arrive. It hasn't.
Because of weather it's been pushed to tomorrow...
maybe. To be honest, that actually puts my mind at
ease. The driver is a professional, he's moving a
bunch of cars all over the country - he wants his
$1060 on the other end at the drop-off as much as
I want that goddamn car to be dropped off safely.
Of course the forecast is icy and shitty and I can't
sleep and uggggggggh. However, the show must go on and
Kenny is using this time to build the
engine.
-
- Now
I mentioned in the welcome video the stock engine
we chose but Kenny is of course rebuilding THAT to be
even faster pushing it to 600hp. It's an expensive
build that ALONE pushes past 5 figures. And since
we've built an entire documentary site for this,
I figured we should introduce Kenny and explain
that there is a very real family dynamic here. We're
not arguing or anything but in order for this type of
teamwork to work? You have to kinda battle. You're
throwing ideas at each other, you're discussing
logistics and money... you need the right combination
of ego and respect in order to make it work. If you
were following this story 3 years ago during the
BTTF modification you'd know it indeed didn't
work. I believe those entries are locked, but a
synopsis is that I basically caught Bob cheating me.
Skimping on parts. Giving me resin fabrications when
the real antique parts were available even though
I paid for his
MOST EXPENSIVE modification. I was
sending him pictures from the movie and fighting him
at every corner. I had to fly out to Dallas
specifically to sign off on everything because
I didn't trust him and I stillllllllllll got
fucked as he stole all the parts I bought with my
stock Delorean. I got the police involved and finally
got most of them, but it was a nightmare. A nightmare
you absolutely, positively do not want with your
brother.
-
- Thankfully,
although this sounds kinda shitty, we're brothers in
name only to a degree. A 15 year age difference and us
never living together + the last 17 years living in
different states. This is truthfully the start of our
relationship. So with that, I give you the
video:
-
-
- ...and the car is
still in limbo. I don't know why (maybe
I do), but until that fucker is OFF the
truck? I have very little faith that it's gonna be
unscathed. That truck is awful. Ice is awful.
Everything is just awful. I want this part to be
over with and then, yes, I have to sit for
ANOTHER week in a couple months getting it back.
GODDDDDDDDD.
-
- Anyway, hope you
enjoyed episode 3... episode 4 SHOULD be on
Sunday.

- Gulp.
