Heather Storm is the blonde twin (seriously) to a girl I dated many years ago. If I had a picture of her you would swear they were at least sisters. She loved working on cars and didn't mind getting dirt or grease under her nails. I can't stand Texas Metal. His truck builds look like refugees...

Very cool. Not a Chevy expert by any stretch but that Chevelle doesn't look like a real SS. Still a cool find though along with the GP and the truck.

Plainly states manufactured in America without having to search for it. Thanks. I have bookmarked that site. :thumbsup:

Little bit of background- fuel pump went out in my son's '98 Dakota. Ordered one from Auto Zone at more than twice the price of one on Amazon. I figure what the heck. The lifetime warranty and a Made in America pump would be worth it. Imagine my surprise when it arrived with Made in China on the...

If you're on a budget, I would look into a Ford Explorer 8.8 swap. Cheap at the pull-a-part, limited slip, variety of ratio's, and easy to narrow to A-body width. Write-up's are available here on the board. Unless you are a purist and don't mind paying the price for an A-body 8 3/4 that may or...

Hate to hear that. :( RIP, Mike.

I don't think there were many males that didn't lust after her (me included). :p It was just a few years ago I saw something mentioned about her being in the Elvis Presley movie "Roustabout". I've seen that movie many times and didn't recall her in it. A little digging and I found out she was...

I've worked on cars since I was 15. Gas station mechanic off & on until I became a dealer tech in '84. Around early '11 I started having a lot of pain in my left shoulder and it became increasingly harder to reach over my head when working on a lift. Finally broke down and saw a doctor about it...

Too hard to shift a 4 gear with Sally in your lap. :p

Blast from the past. CB's got very popular shortly after graduating HS in '73. I had one in my first new vehicle- '74 PW. My handle was Night Stalker as Kolchak: The Night Stalker was one of my favorite tv shows. Used it for a lot of years and don't remember when I got away from CB's. :D SIL...

Oh, and the movie was filmed locally around Atlanta. The scene where Buford is in the truck stop with the car on a jack was at a truck stop that was at I-85 and Pleasant Hill Rd. but is long gone. They filmed a scene at a station on the side of Ga. 85 below Fayetteville (just up the road from my...

I owned a '78 Gold SE Trans Am back in the mid-90s. 400, auto, w/ T-tops. Bought it for $900, drove it about 6 mos. or so and sold it for $1500. Smokey & the Bandit car is actually a Black SE Trans Am but most folks know them as a Bandit edition. :thumbsup:

Many years ago I started out with 340s. Cheap and plentiful. When I bought my first BB car ('69 RR w/ an unknown 440), I was hooked. Of course, 383s were to be left behind where you found them. That opinion changed in '12 when we bought a 383 from Mike McCandless for a song to put in my son's...

VIN tag MIA on dash and doors wouldn't open. Didn't feel like crawling under the car to check the diff. :p Have some friends who moved to Mineral Bluff several years ago. Beautiful up there. :thumbsup: Not sure how much of the body parts/trim was worth saving. I was just getting it out there...

I would give the nod to the 383. While a tighter fit, a BB in an A-body is just plain cool. :thumbsup:

Yes, just leave the guts out and put the cap back on.

Unfortunately I didn't think to take any. 2 dr. HT with the Flintstone floor option. :p

Norcross lot. Complete and untouched as of yesterday. Verified it's a 383 w/ original Holley? carb. No place to keep it or we would have been all over it.

:rofl:

SIL is a LEO with a local county PD. They switched from 9mm to .40 around 5 yrs. ago and switched back to 9mm last year. He said it was because the smaller men & most of the women couldn't qualify with a .40 caliber. :rofl:

Used to carry a Glock 22 but several weeks ago ran across the aforementioned S&W Shield 9mm for $269 out the door at a local gun show. Been thinking about a smaller EDC for a while and glad I bought it. Sweet shooter and much more comfortable to CC than a full-size. Another pleasant surprise was...

I wish him the best of luck with it. :thumbsup: Way over my pay grade, abilities, budget, and anything else I can think of. :D

I do weigh and then print my own labels. One of the reasons I'm POed at the PO is that 2 times they said I was light on the postage. If I did a lot of shipping I would order the free stuff. I will say I never had a problem with the PO in Lilburn near my old home or with the one in Cleveland, GA...

Went to the local PO to get a flat rate envelope to mail some hinges to a member. Seems they don't carry flat rate envelopes? Clerk tells me I can use one of the regular envelopes and send it priority. OK. Shock comes when I'm informed that the rate will be $19.80 + the envelope instead of $7.55...

Still run by Big Kahuna? I haven't been on there in many years. :eek:

Big sigh.... :( Missed it as soon as y'all left. Don't know if you peeked under the dash at the inner cowl but it's worse than the outer. :eek: Lot easier to see when the dash is out. One thing I don't know if you noticed was the gas cap on the filler tube. It's aftermarket but apparently not...

Kind of deceiving in those pics. Paint and a good filler job will hide a lot of stuff (original pic). :( Up close it looks a little worse and when you really get to looking at it, it is pretty bad. And yes, the L. front rail is toast as well as the complete floorpan, not to mention the inner and...

You're very welcome, Rob. :thumbsup: Glad some of the parts will have a home on your car. :) Hard watching y'all leave with it. Really wanted to clone my original Valiant. Probably why I didn't look the car over as well as I should have when I went to buy it. I told my wife my heart...

Good times but color me jealous. :D Wish I still had a 2 car garage to work in. :p :thumbsup:
