Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Off today. So, an old guy takes a ride in a 40 year old car. Life is good.

You have aged well. I guess pirate blood is pickled.
 
Made it home safely with ZERO flat tires!! Long day

I was hoping for a story like "We must have jumped 50 yards dad!" "That's nothing to be proud of Russ." (Clark to himself: 50 yards....)
 
Interstate down in Southern Wisconsin(where we hit the potholes) is horrible. There was construction today, at one point it took 38 minutes to go 3 miles.
 
Got the hubs put on today. I ripped the driver's side apart when I got home from work this morning then took a shower and got a nap. The girlfriend woke me up when the new ones arrived and I had it buttoned up in about 45 minutes. It took longer to put the studs innthe back of the hubs than it did to install everything.... left side brake rotor is rusted because it was off the truck and it rained. First time I tap the brakes it'll be all shiny again.

Both in that car? Now that’s a story for the block party!

It seems we might have to have TWO block parties. We have a looong list of stories to tell. :D

Ha. No. Pirate Dictionary: Pirates Booty = treasure — money, jewels, and the like — obtained by criminal means, especially plundering or pillaging. If you're in the Caribbean on vacation, you could spend some time looking for buried pirate booty. And no, none of any of that in that car. :)

Now this car? Another story. :-)

Those, my friends, are actual mag wheels! Don't see those anymore.

Cragar. I think American Racing still makes a very similar wheel. Old school. :-)

Yep Cragar started it all. Used Magnesium to make them light for drag racing. Problem was, if you hit a pot hole, they would crack because mag is so brittle.

I had a set of original American Racing Torque Thrust wheels on a 53 ford truck. Classic looking.

I could really kick myself in the rear for not having any pictures of that car after I finished with it. I only have one black and white Poloroid of the car, which is extremely poor. It was one of my favorite cars that I have owned.
 
Ha! Saw this on AskBRS-TV's Facebook page this morning. I would be murdered.

Why?

The skimmer cup can't be that hard to wash up. Besides, it doesn't need to be that clean. :rolleyes:

I thought the same thing. That is more work doing it that way. :-)
