That's one way to do it.
Filling in for Carl .
I miss having him around, hope he's doing well.
I don't know.
Last conversation I had with him was months ago. Told me he was looking at a lung transplant.
I lost his contact info. So no help.
So using my Ancestry account, I searched his name and address, good news, no obituary. So at least he’s still with us. Hopefully on the mend and we hear from him soon
The guy who called you the other day to check inThanks for thinking about me guys...
I've been very busy lately and too exhausted to get on the forum...
I'm getting by, the lung transplant is paused for now... I try to not depress you with my health issues and deal with them myself... My breathing has not been too good the last couple of weeks, hopefully it's temporary and will upswing soon... I may have caught COVID again a couple weeks ago and trying to get through it without going to the hospital... The last two weeks have been up and down...
I hope you are all doing ok...
PS: who is one bullet barney???

I'll pick up THOSE pieces : )
Hey Karl. Glad you stopped in. Hope things are going well.
Good to have you come by, buddy....
I would make plug wires with thread, using wax to keep the shape. Drop of glue and careful placement.These be the details I’m talking about. I used to judge 4H and no one ever painted the under side different colors like this. Or the grille. They would have left it body color

What's funny bout that is Salter (salter racing, the guy does great motors with decades of research behind him) did run a knurled piston in a car out of necessity (in the way back times when you couldn't get custom pistons overnight) and made 8 HP.. after 250 miles (or laps) the knurling was basically gone and the piston was rocking so bad in the bore that oil was getting into the combustion chamber...Yeah….but did they knurl the pistons?
