Stop in for a cup of coffee

Another friend/customer gone. Damn cancer.
Was one of my wife’s favorite customers. I have known him since school.
 
On the heater box, the two outlets for defrost are different sizes. The left one is only about 1/4 inch bigger, and the other is almost 2 inches...
Bigger one is for the longer path. Air is hard to push.
 
Good engineering idea, sucks 45 years later trying to get hoses for them....
I have a pair I bought here on FABO. I need to look and see what year they fit. I replaced the ones on my 66 with some generic NAPA hose. Different size on the ends but I made them work.
 
Don't complain. At least the ones for your car weren't made of paper!
Exactly, the ones on my 66 were destroyed!

Mr Norm has died.
Oh man, he is legend for those of us that drag race. As many on here know my wife is built a bit, shall we say curvy. He was fixated by her figure and signed all kind of stuff for me once upon a time. I told her to keep reeling him in and he signed literally anything I put in front of him while she had him “engaged” hah! Here are a couple of samples hanging in shop.
RIP Mr. Norm.

Today sucked, time to knock the rust off. First day of league shooting. This is my warm up target, league shooting has been on hold for months due to C19. In my bracket (high master) I am forced to shoot against some Nationally ranked boys. They will punish me I don’t shoot no better than this!

what distance are you shooting? Way back when, I shot pins in a league. Ya, I got my clock cleaned, but it was fun.

It’s a problem to be solved, not a concourse 100 pt restoration. Buy or make adaptors.

You are putting a 408 stroked 360 Magnum in a ‘66 along with an OD trans plus hood and trunk hinges that are gas struts instead of the factory torsion rods that you adapted from a Mitsubishi. This isn’t about what was factory.

Why are you sweating this? Build or buy some freaking adaptors and get on with it! :poke:

I’m surprised anyone is shooting given the current availability issues
 
Three heck, can’t you see the powder burns? I just put the pointy end of the pistol against the target and pulled the trigger!
Oh so it wasn't a big #2 pencil hole...haha!!
No seriously, that's some darn good shooting there buddy.

Many of the guys I shoot against are sponsored shooters, they don’t even purchase Ammo. They just wait for it to arrive in the mail every month. Full disclosure I am also a sponsored shooter. I shoot for GTBR out of Arkansas. At our level of competition Ammo shortages really aren’t applicable. To your point the leagues are not near as full as years past due to folks being hesitant to burn their Ammo supply. You are correct in the lower levels but not so much with the folks I have to shoot against. Sucks to be me, they are really good!
 
Now that the border is closed , I sure miss coming over and shooting with my boys . Not anywhere near as good as you John.

Good Evening All! Spent most of the day in the trunk of my Duster, seems bigger when you're trying to make it ALL shiny metal lol! It's not exactly a boat back there but I did find some more fiberglass hiding tape/bondo job, will post a pic tomorrow. It's a chance for me to learn to fabricate a curved patch panel. Today also took a trip to Del Fox Meats, bought up some sausage in "Country" seasoning, they're the ones who will butcher the 1/2 pig we bought, want to get an idea of what that tastes like before we commit.
