Rusty. I'm not dead yet. Just getting things done that I've let go to long.

Well, I'm sure glad you ain't dead. lol Been missin you. I found you on Facebook, but it doesn't look like you're active.....I'm sure unlike a lot of us you have a life. lol Good to see you Steve.
 
We went to Ohio for this car for something to drive to shows this summer. It never made it off the trailer. Motor and trans are a basket case. $26,500 for a car with a fresh motor that you can't turn with a breaker bar once warmed up. Koffel engines ???? what a joke. Just more to do now. The 340 and 727 are junk as they are. Bad deals like this tie up the garage.

Dang. Sure am sorry to see that. It's in the right place, though.
 
Anybody seen @Garry in AZ. Enjoyed his posts. Hasn't been on since Jan 4th, 2021.

I died several years ago, my ghost keeps on posting. :D
 
Haven't seen maddart on here or seabee, or 70burntorange, many of the peeps from esco cruise nights are ancient history.
Still pop in every once in awhile to read tech threads etc. Haven't seen Chris RockersDuster in awhile. I think he was getting bogged down in his Clara rebuild and getting distracted by import projects. TBH this place can be a little too curmudgeon-ish for us younger folks to participate in regularly. Better to to just sit back and try to pick out the useful bits in between the bickering and blow-harding.

Some folks in politics and some known builders who pop in tech threads can be really dickish and speak from mountain tops. I take a week off on my own when it becomes less an escape and more a common denominator to stress.

My car is unfinished atm, I'm buried in heads and motor builds where there is always a part missing or on order. Let's hang out some time.
 
@toolmanmike , Timothy Hendershot past away after fighting covid for 31 days in the hospital, we talked every morning at coffee time on FB for a couple years, he left a wife and two daughters.
His user name was @timmy. 1953.
A fine man, he enjoyed his yellow with black vynel top Dart
and a 66 Valiant (forest green) .

RIP my friend... any one that think this covid stuff is not real and think we are sheep getting vaccine can soak this in, he was 63 and strong..

I will miss my morning chats with him..

Dang I hate to read this! Very sad my condolences to you and his family.
 
Sorry to read Mike, our condolences to everyone affected.

I remember reading a post about his wife commenting on stuff on FABO. Not sure if that had anything to do with his leaving.
 
@Mtn Thunder ?
I think he was out of Tehachapi, CA. And sold me something and met me at a Fling for it. I know alot of guys pigeonhole themselves to one forum ie. Racers forum and seem to fall off the general map but are still active under the radar.
I'm still around. Just lost interest in the cars for a while after I sold my Dart. Still have the wife's 69 Swinger 340 to finish if I ever get the interest back.
I retired 3 years ago and have been doing home projects and other stuff. Got off into target shooting rifles at our local sportsman club.
Got the garage set up with a pellet stove to hopefully get her car done this year.
I have plans on getting to Spring Fling to sell the remainder of my excess parts if I can finish it.
Thanks for thinking of me!
 
Hey Rob! Nice intake manifold! Glad you made it out of N.J.
LMAO! THANK YOU! I’m set happy to do a “Snake Plissken” & “Escape from New York” with retirement and with the extra time and better weather, use that damn intake…. And a few others….
