    Feel for you. At least you're an air conditioned taxi. Two cars closed three lanes of traffic coming off the freeway coming into Madison last Wed. I knew it wasn't normal when folks opened their doors to get a look at what was going on. The exit was open so was lucky to be able to funnel...

    I added helper 1/2 leafs to my '75. One night on the interstate interchange got into tank slappers and then finally went round 180 into the curb. Long night.

    There is side movement when going around turns - more so the higher the rear is jacked. Also the higher the arch, the more the inner wheel moves back in the turn.

    What are you trying to do? Mopar leaf springs should be nearly flat when static for most uses. For drag race launch, there should be some arch. Longer shackels can be used to get a little more swing (unfortunately also allows more sideway but not an issue for straight runs) as long as they...

    Last year I tapped the Grand? Wagoneer's oil drain to 14mm x 1.25 Yesterday wasted a ridiculous amount of time looking for a drain plug gasket / gasket. Most of what is available is mix packs...And I don't want soft metal washers that aren't soft. Going to give these a try. Oddly they only...

    Train wasn't moving. That could be a long wait. Even when a freight train is moving, if I know a route around the grade crossing I'll take it.

    Got a map? Where's the nearest parallel road that has a bridge or is far enough away?

    I've got dad's copy. A note inside from the person who gave it to him. Still has the dust jacket.

    Good luck Tim and enjoy the journey. Or as my classmate would say as I handed her a map "oh goody, an adventure!"

    I had my fun! 2000 miles give or take. Right side hood latch would come loose now and then on the way back. Pulled off here at the Lewistown Narrows to relatch it - 8:05 PM according to my photo. Sorry it didn't work out. Maybe I'll catch ya at Carlisle

    Hey Chris. Monday I was at Stonefield Center Ag Museum. Most of the McCormisck collection is there. Sorry no pics. Was mostly asking questions and learning.

    Not Philly or NJ. That's the Wisconsin River. Was visiting with a friend. Met up with @71GSSDemon on the way back east. :thumbsup:

    Looks pretty decent. Could become a good driver or whateer you'ld want. These days it seems like its all about creating us and them. A lot of folks eat that up. Grievence culture - all created by 'them' Seems common these days that entertainers are assumed to be great philosophers of our time.

    That's a part of being a family, or in more academic terms 'esprit de corp' Sometimes it goes too far, but that's pretty harmless.

    Critter control is an issue with the veggies especially without the dog.

    This one is mine. For me, a little lawn is needed. Got to have some room to hang out and for the dog. The hawthorn provides some privacy and shade. I think next flowers blooming will be evening primrose. Big show was earlier.

    I think the the only way to learn is observation. Keeping it real neat and orderly helps too. I didn't do that this year. There's lettuce, raddishes, peas, carrots from last fall, some greens going to seed, and hakuri turnips that are also going to seed for reasons I don't know. nasturtium is...

    I'm not a hot weather person and have to say bonus for cool evenings is that I can continue cooking roasts and making soup. A. Yum B. Leftovers mean no prep dinners for a few days.

    I should have asked in your thread. Are the rims all the same width and offset? I ask because I've found used slots sets can actually be two pairs, with slightly wider and deeper setback for the rear.

    Mine was often interested in treats at the local pet store, but I quickly learned they were only interesting when at the pet store. My take was that it was more about interacting with the people than the treats. Watching her sniff the shelves and baskets and not steal was a clue that the...

    Sure is. Used to be cheap to buy the jet selection kit, no more. Looks like a better box than I got (from mopar performance?) Those came in two clear boxes but the plastic doesn't like something in the gasoline.
