Anybody here watch the Mecum auction (the poor mans B-J?) at Indy? My jaw hit the floor when they announced that the 426 Hemi/Auto Coronet went for $26K. What a deal! The side moulding was just a wee bit off where it met from the door and the rear quarters, but damn! $26K? Somebody got a steal!
Just the quick and dirty of it, and something to think about other than Leanna's legs (which are VERY SEXY!). My brother and I built a cage out of PVC pipe and attached cheap tarps (that you can get at Dollar General, CHEAP) on all sides and the bottom for a make shift outside blast cabinet...
I'll let my 15 year old respond to this one..........
"Uhhhmmm......The Duster was good enough for Sox and Martin wasn't it? Cheap? Ugly? Not worth a ****? REALLY? I'd bet you haven't got enough sack between your legs to come get some of my Dart!"
From the mouth of babes.
Thanks for the encouragement StokerScamp and vtmopar! Perhaps an old Chevy/Olds guy hasn't lost his mind....yet!
moturbopar - Unless a miracle lands in our lap we are stuck with the 1.88 / 1.60 heads (remind you, this is all on a 15 years old kids budget, but nothing says that heads can't be...
Dennis Hopper on a rigid frame pan head with drag bars! I just watched Easy Rider. I'm pumped up! Captain America is cool, but there is nothing cooler than that bike that Dennis Hopper rode in the movie. Old school, skinny tired chopper. Cool! WAY COOL!
Mid to late 70's low compression engine (probably out of a truck). Upon tear down it appears that it hadn't seen a hard life at all. Very little ridge on the cylinder wall. 7th or 8th rod bearing (which ever is last on the crank) was just getting into copper on the bearing, the others looked...
I remember when you first posted about this after you got it. Looks like you did a pretty good job. I see you opted not to go with the roll bar? Dude, C'Mon! Nothing says 70's Baja Truck like a roll bar with about 4 Hella's on it!
The green cars rot had rot! It was "rescued" from a wooded area where it had sat (and sank) for the past 20 years. They had to cut trees down just to get it out! Plus it took four mules and a little boy to pull it out of the ground.
Alot went on over the winter. Unfortunately it wasn't on Project Deeds! But lady luck has smiled on us and I was able to work out a deal with a co-worker of mine who co-owns New Covenant Performance (ncperformanceinc.com (Check them out! (That was my cheap, shameless plug for their shop.)...
Are you listening Mr. France? Several things tork me off about the sport, one of the biggest was when they started taking races away from the "boring" tracks and gave them to tracks owned by Frances sister!
I've watched NASCAR for a very long time. Been to my favorite track (Bristol, TN) several times. Watched the first televised race on CBS and saw the Allison / Yarborough brawl while sitting on a green vinyl couch next to my dad. Met alot of NASCAR drivers over the years. I cried when Dale Sr...
