  1. Sneakers on a jobsite? Ya, I'm thinking she isn't going to be one of the people doing much. Likely a city inspector? Does Randy know her??
  2. Doesn't look much different then this............ Besides a shiny grille............ Somehow I don't notice any "retro" styling?
  3. I'm not worried about having it saved for weeks, 48 hours is long enough before it overwrites. I'm not gone for long periods of time. I don't care if it runs constantly, heck my motion lights kick on for every damn moth flying by! I think about 6 cameras would do me well. The hard part is my garage is not attached and getting the cable pulled to it(through the existing conduit) would be a bitch, especially if more then for one camera. There is only like a 1 1/2" pipe going and there is 100amp service already in it, so not much room for a bunch of cables. Not that I wear a foil hat, but I don't really care for the internet style systems. Seems that ANYONE could hack into it, I'd rather have something more permanent at the house. I'd like to use my phone to see it, but I guess I'm still hesitant of hackers.
  4. Good post. I've contemplated putting up cameras of some nature. Haven't pulled the trigger, yet. I have heard enough about "clarity" to actually be of any use. Cheap stuff won't get it. Not ready to spend thousands. Neighbor is an ATT security rep. Not sure if they do cameras or motion/doors/fire?
  5. Looks bad, but I'm confused. What machine is it?
  6. From my limited experience, there is a ball in the flywheel that indexes it to the crank flange detent. If that ball was not used, it can be bolted on incorrectly and timing mark will be wrong. I only know this from when I put the 237 in my truck. I saw the bolt pattern was symmetrical and wondered how you would know how to put it on. That is when I saw the ball/detent and realized that is how. But can see how it could be left out and just bolted on any way you wanted. Thus causing problems when you timed it.
  7. Ya, I've seen the ad on FB before. I drooled over them as a replacement for my busted up Bentz bunk. BUT pricing was not even in my ballpark and I was able to fix up my old bunk and put it back on. Oh well.
  8. Yup, saw the "vegan" description and knew it was not going to end well. Guess all that "Fake' news wasn't all Fake? You just have to be smart enough to know which is which.
  9. It was just a linear actuator moving it, so you could fabricate something likely on any other model if it had enough structure to support it. I've used these folks before on a project. Quick shipping and priced reasonable. https://www.progressiveautomations.com/
  10. Friend has electric version on his K100. Since it's a toy and rarely pulls a trailer he runs with it down and then puts it up at shows. Here it is with BJ truck:
  11. Friend has similar issue. His Jag has a 402 BBC in it. Dynoed 500 hp. HAHAHAHAHHA............
  12. Daggonit, I've got a race this weekend.
  13. Have you called Adelmans? I haven't driven by lately, but surely they might have something similar. http://www.adelmans.com/
  14. Never saw the whole movie, but have this clipped saved on my favorites: Lots of cool old iron, including a couple R models.
  15. From 1992....
  16. Ditto. I really like my triplex behind my 237. I went to check on retuning the pump but they started talking THOUSANDS of dollars and that made my mind up to leave it alone. I only split 4 and 5th gears. Makes it nice actually to drop 1/2 gear on long grades and not have to lug it all the way down to 1100 rpm.
  17. Mine gets there a bit quicker with 428/2x4's/4 spd! Some day I'd like to strip it all down and freshen it up. The paint is getting just a bit old.
  18. Well, it surely looked like one. Never wooda thunk it was actually Ford parts on a Rolls.
  19. Ditto, how is the wiring? If it turns slow it might be the battery cables/wiring or the S/P switch. Find a local shop that can test your starter.
  20. I've also heard that don't eat gluten free if it is not an issue with your body? With all the crap news today, who do you believe? One day it's bad for you, the next day it's not.
  21. Long live POP TARTS!!! Lucky all the sugary cereals I eat likely won't kill me.
  22. Kinda like living next to the railroad tracks and not hearing the trains after a while.
  23. Neat Paul. Friend bought this car, with blown motor. Seems motor was "Fresh", but if I recall a pin froze and the piston punched a hole in the block. Friend sleeved it(he had all the old school equipment at home), patched the side of the block and got it all running again. I won't say it was a great engine, but it ran. He drove it just a little, then realized there was no lube in the rearend and it starting howling, bad. Knowing what it would cost, I found a 9" ford housing from a buddies Torino that bolted in. Just had to change rims to match bolt pattern. The braking system on those cars are RIDICULOUS and this one was in very poor shape. I never did get the brakes working well enough to actually drive it again. Friend got ill and passed quickly. He had changed his will to give the car to me. It was too much of a project for me at the time and no place to work on it. I sold it. I wanted to keep the manual, but gave it to the new owner. It was actually written speaking to "The driver", not the owner of the car. It had more linkages and lube lines then you can even imagine and so much of it was in bad shape. But it was RH drive and maybe today I would have taken it on and got it running better. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.......
  24. Georgia Overdrive? Interesting. I guess they allow it as long as the computer is in control??
