WARNING! Leave it in the truck when you have to do Federal Jury Duty at the Fed Court House in LA! The way those Federal Marshals reacted you would think I put a MAC 10 in the basket after I set off the metal detector while entering
It's funny, following a thread on B Bodies. a 65 Dodge Coronet with a 273-4 barrel. Commando he calls it. No, 65 B bodies were built with a 273 but a 2 barrel and not a 4 barrel and definitely not with a 600 Holley. Oh and also, Commando's are Plymouth. Dodges had Charger 273's.

Did I read that correct?
I was wondering the same thing...
My gawdawful welding.... but functional
Hard to weld coated, and or rusty metal.
Rusty just gases out. Coated is a laundry list. It depends on what it is.

I do recall from class.
ground and sanded everything down, then cleaned it up before. Had to play with the gas a little but got to "OK" The second pipe went better
I had to explain 3 times the wheel was falling off. He didnt understand.
Also dug into the 50’s mercury with a flathead v8. Valve stuck. Pulled intake and see a keeper in the valley. The valve guide walked up and is holding valve open. And stuck there. Have to get it back into place.
As I have learned the hard way.
Pass the bourbon. This cert course is probably the hardest course I’ve ever taken. Combine that with the day from hell at work, mostly correctly a mistake I admittedly made. I need a few shots or even an entire barrel of bourbon,

Clearances are tight. If I have the car up on the v rear axle that's about max depression less passenger weight right?
I have this thing about having to clean, sand and paint everything before I move on.
HOPEFULLY start getting the steering linkage and front suspension installed tomorrow
Home from my double hitter softball game. I went 6 for 7 four doubles two singles and they intentionally walked me once.
I slid into second the first game and got a bleeding knee wound...I'll survive.
Then on the way home swerved to miss a deer darting out in front of me. It glanced off the passenger front end no damage.
Safely home, cleaned up, and having a toddy.
