Re: Ed Fitchera- one of the OG's from NASTE- obituary An MD or DDS living in NY purchased EVERYTHING syty related from Ed. It is allegedly back together as an odd fire single or twin turbo truck...

For those of you who have been around the "scene" for a while, I am sadly posting the obituary of Ed Fitchera of East Hartford, CT. Ed was a good friend of Pete H (sytynut) and were always hanging together at shows or gatherings. Ed owned a beautiful, low mileage red/grey Typhoon, then a caged...

Hey, Ty- blk/blk, 100k+ miles. Rust: doors, jams, radiator support, ps floor, quarters behind the cladding, roof- could take my hand and reach into the rear gate just above the window. Basically, all above the back (rear tailgate) window was rotted out and it went 6 inches down the DS of the...

Update November 18, 2002: The Sy is back together!!!! Placed the hood, fenders, grille, cowl parts and front bumper back on today! Love Southern vehicles- no rust/rot or body damage. Everything went back on without a problem with EXCELLENT fit! I should be driving the Sy by the end of the week...

Hey Daron, I sent you a PM. Sorry for the delay- the board finally let me sign in after a few days of trying../. george

Hi, Here goes- connected the battery without the ignition on/ without the key in the ignition. Jumped into the interior and the 'check engine' and 'brake' idiot lights were on. The 'check gauges' light was blinking all without the key in the ignition. Then, put the key in the igntion and...

Update: The Sy is basically back together. However, every time I step into the garage something goes wrong. had to change the starter seloniod, and I snapped the heads off the bolts. So, new starter. Moved the a/c condenser and cracked a line. Now I need a new a/c line. I think the Sy knows...

Hey all, quick update- the garage that was full of parts is now just a small pile of bolts. Engine is back in w/ the JS motor mounts, painted frame rails, plated clamps/ clips, polished lines, painted engine, re-sprayed brackets and pullies (stock colors) and everything has been de-greased...

Jeff, Like my last post- your mounts were excellent. It was the ENS pad welds that screwed me. Other than that: 1) motor was out when I put them 2) front diff was dropped Very easy to bolt to the frame, no adjustments needed on passenger side mount. Sometimes there are a few flaws...

Hi, While walking out of work I spied a Ty in the parking lot. Tracked down the owner and had a long chat w/ him. Here we go: Has a police lightbar on the roof along w/ a bunch of antenaes and sirens. Back windows have "Callaway Twin Turbo" on both sides. Truck is Green/Gray. Interior...

Hi, Just finished placing in the JS motor mounts and ploy bushings and thought I should share my experience. The weld on the Energy suspension pads would NOT allow the motor mount bolt (stock) to go through. We (Dan DeMello-BSACK2000) had to trim the round top portion of the JS mount on both...

Hey, is there someone who was looking for the metal IC lines? I think I have 3 sets. I'll bring them to the swap meet. If you want them, take them- no charge. Or, buy me a cup of coffee or a dozen Krispy kremes, since we don't have KK's up here. . Also, I have the following: a complete...

Morgan, Will try to scud off some pics to you. Started tearing the nose off the Sy to 1) replace motor mounts. 2) replace torsion bar mounts 3) detail and tune the sh&t outta the Sy. Hopefully, I'll have it ready for the swap meet, GMHTP, and Truckin Nats. Later George RI Sy 1252 1969 Buick...
