Can't make no livin cuz dem damn Yankees and surfer punks keep movin in and takin all the good jobs.. illegals get the rest! Dam Kaliforniuns started workin' then immigrants and actually payin em cash muny!!! We had our labor sitiashun worked out fer room 'n vittles ...dammit!
  3. I just picked up the phone and called Dad, he is 70 now and we don't do as much toggether as we used too...I reminded him of the story and he got a good long laugh out of it... Pop said...."Remember...To be old and wise..you must first be young and stupid" !! Gonna miss that Ol' man someday..
  4. I bought a 64 Ranchero off a farm 60 miles from home a few years ago. Dad and I used a chain through a pipe as a towbar... Pipe keeps the two cars from hitting eeeeach other if you mess up.... We were on the interstate rolling right along about 60 when the floor gave way and the seat hit the highway... I had no lights, horn etc... Dad had settled in and wasnt paying much attention since the last 40 miles had been easy... So here I am, gripping the wheel with both feet braced on either side of whats left of the floorpan...seat dragging the highway and sparks flying out from under the ranchero. I'm waving one hand when I dare let go and screaming obscenities out of my half way down, stuck in place window!!!! Finally a guy comes by us in the fast lane blowing the horn and gets Dads attention.... He hits the shoulder of the road and comes running back to the truck as the seat starts to smoke from all of the sparks with my half laying on it and the floor still cussing... Now keep in mind, I am a BIG man, at that time ( 10yrs ago) like 360lbs...this had to be some funny $%iT to see!!! Dad had to help me up, then we had to finish ripping the seat and floor away and roll it into the ditch to pour muddy water on it so it wouldn't start a damn forest fire... all the while we didn't notice the wasps the smoke had pissed off pouring out of the defroster tubes until we walked back to the truck... If they had hit me too I might not have been able to hang on!!!! I wish I had it on video... I'd be $100,000 richer for sure!!! So now, I own a trailer!
  5. You never know.... With national exposure on PINKS Barney may have found a serious backer... be cautious!
  6. I wish I could be there but Indy is just to far and with my back, I'm no help. I'm with ya in spirit!!! Best of luck!
  7. Gotta have fresh gas, mix in a little seafoam fuel cleaner. Drain the carb bowl too if you can. If it has been sitting long you may have to rebuild the carb to get it started. Pull the plug, clean it and check it for fire by grounding it against the motor, or just have your buddy hold it in his hand and spin it over. If he jumps, its firing..LOL
  8. Thats sad...rare 2 door car..what a waste
  9. Quality of a head is somewhat dependant of what your needs are. Know what kind of flow you'll need for your Cam,intake,exhaust combination and see if the numbers work for your individual combo. Many people dont need all of the flow they buy.... but many also want to consider quality for future growth in their projects. Beware of "as cast" heads sold on ebay and other websites as this means they havent had any of the necesary cnc machine work and milling to be productive..
  10. too nice to not keep original... I usually don't feel that way but as scarce as nice 240zs are I'd say keep it original.
  11. Same here, reddish necked and Cherokee...LOL
  12. F150 = best truck for lowest price w/good tow capacity and brakes. DO NOT BUY the 4.2 v6(junk) or the 5.4 v8(gashog) stick with the 4.6 v8. I haul mine with a 91 Explorer 4x4 5spd 4.0 with no worries. I use 4x4 lowrange on ramps and it gives you good pull and good clutch control.
  13. Cool little grocery getter! I like what you did with the Z wheels too... lowbuck!
  14. Always match your paint types. Regular rustoleum is oil based. Duplicolor system is a lacquer based system. You have to use good old fashioned lacquer primer under it. The spraybomb primer that says it is "dry sandable" is lacquer. Even if your lucky enought to get the paint on without lifting it wont last 6 months and you will have a terrible mess that has to be stripped bare! Rustoleum has to go or you have to do the whole engine bay with an oil based enamel topcoat.
  15. I've had probelms with head studs on SBC as well, but never on any Ford or Olds motors??. I finally just decided to buy quality head bolts for each build and take my chances.
  16. Nice thing here in NC. As long as the neighbors dont mind nobody cares. Be respectful and run the compressor at resonable hours ( not 3am!LOL) and control any overspray. No harm, no foul.
  17. Synthetic oils, fluids? How about good quality wax and wheel cleaners in a nice bucket with new sponges and a shammy cloth?
  18. And the best part is you cant get stuck hauling around a crowd, so you can always grab one of the girls and say...sorry, 2 seater see ya'll there!!! ZoomZoom..LOL
  19. Oh yeah! Anything with a drop top makes their heart stop!
  20. Nuthin' wrong with ol' skool!! I'm 40. I love em low and lean or wedged with skinnies and fats, Its all good!
