I knew that was going to happen when you said no more work but your a good person to go and fix her car anyway great call Mitch now go and pack for Lynda have a good timeHard as I try to not take any repair jobs....My Widow neighbor called me from the road yesterday with an emergency. She said the car was making a crazy noise in the back when driving forward. But not in reverse. She asks " Can I drive it home? " I'm like No,No,No don't do that. She was downtown Wash. D.C. at the time so it was hours before it showed up on a rollback. Got it up and found a bolt had come out where the caliper bracket bolts to the wheel hub. WTF ??? Caliper was swinging up and contacting the inside of the wheel itself...Pretty quick fix, and I used loctite to secure the new bolt better. I even took the other side apart and loctited it....

Super quiet day here, just setting up the range for a group of five officers for some pistol work tomorrow. Should be a pretty easy day. I was due.
They look good. Interesting how unsafe you feel not being buckled up in these old cars. New ones in my 64 as well.
My buddy Mopar Joe just pulled up to Jeff's shop. He has a couple 70 Super Bee's (just partial shells and misc parts) he needs to sell. The wheeler dealer meets the wheeler dealer. This will be fun to see how this plays out.
Pour yourself a little glass and pull up a chair , could get interesting!!
I think Ted needs to come down for a taste this afternoon. With this cold thing and chewing on cough drops, I can't imagine anything will taste all that good to me. 
Oh ya. New ones were needed. Mine were missing.

Having spent numerous weekends at Famoso with my work mate Jack and his SC Dragster, BBC or Rodeck, injected I learned that mechanical injectors on the street would be a total nightmare
. Watching 100s of Sprint Cars getting push started helped too I saw an early Fury I think it was at Pismo Car Show, injectors through the hood and license plates 
. I went and checked it out.They were not injectors, but an air filter made by Garlits to resemble injectors and cover your 4 bbl carb and manifold. Looked real from a distance.
I got my Polara brochure today. Looks to be in fine condition.
Just like Christmas. A care package ftom Az. from the guy that owned my Polara.
I don't know when liberty mutual came around here but I got a letter. A dead tree has to go and back steps must be replaced. I knew those things. No renewal until.
Oh my this is perfect. It even smells old.
I framed my brochures
Stoner's Cruise In that I missed out on last night.
Lookie what I got a ride in today, and it can burry the speedometer really fast. 440 10:1 pistons and Edelbrock RPM heads. Sweet ride and a cool tach.
Love it! Probably 500 horse.
Not sure HP but would be a great car to drive on a long trip.
How to "Not" make a query...
"Who's the clown that moved my thread?"
Same person calls local talk radio station to argue with the host.
That'll go well.
