I've been sorting out rear end housing problems for the best part of a year. One housing from Curie had a .190+ inch bow in it, made assemble impossible. A month between shipping it to George Montgomery in Ohio and than them shipped it to Curie so they could see it was not from installation or use. The new one came to me instead of going to Ohio for the bracket installation and air-loc set up. Lost a total of 4 months last season. Ran 5 test and tunes at the local fireman's track and it cut 1.7 on a non prepped pavement, regular strip I should cut 1.4 easily. Never been to the strip yet. Luckily there are in Va a half dozen 1/4 and 1/8 tracks with in a 100 mile radius of me. Hope to run it next season and will probably need it re-certified for sub 10's with 30 psi boost and 4 stage NOX.

Like Vlad says it takes less force to push the pedal with out losing the "feel" and positive full release. It pretty much eliminates most of clutch adjustment and last eliminates clutch linkage with a single hydraulic line.

I'm staying in the mid to late last century. I'll pay the penalty for style and looks.

It was brought in complete and operational from the LIRR Museum in Riverhead. The work needed when it arrived was the drive wheels needed to be spray welded and remachined and the lighting fixed. The boiler was even newly certified for medium pressure excursion use. 15 years A "train expert" and a group of volunteers took it apart to refinish it.

Why? I grew up in the age of Duck and Cover and learned from the Simpsons the radiation give you a healthy glow.....

This is the remains of LIRR engine 35 the last steamer used. My uncle was the engineer and took it on it's last run. It was complete in a museum and the Oyster Bay R.R. Museum got it to "restore as operational". It was disassembled 15 years ago and there it sits 1/4 mile from the salt water. The politicians are busy fighting over funding, who gets credit and about volunteers or professions from the LIRR restoring it. Soon it will be junked I suppose. Paul

Like the copied FORD Station Wagon Dual tail gate, not impressed with having to unload the truck if you get a flat.

Here are a pair from the last Long Island Antique Power Equipment show. The first one is a Buffalo Springfield

Sounds like France is having their recurring dream of dictating rules, regulations and policy for Europe again. All because of Frances two biggest economic "enemies" Great Briton and Germany, of course Frances bankrupt socialist programs do not help either.

I know, I had to get one to go to Port Newark, was asked if I had a TWIX and handed the gate guard a candy bar. . .He didn't think it was funny either

F-80 / T-33 in back ground?

Needed: A Declaration of War Calvin Thomas API. OPED Jun 14, 2016 Credit President Obama for finally using the words he has desperately tried to avoid during his presidency. He correctly called the mass shooting in an Orlando gay nightclub Sunday morning, which killed 49 and injured 53, "an act of terror." It was, writes The New York Times, the "deadliest attack on a gay target in the nation's history." Discredit to the president for avoiding linking the attack to ISIS and Islamic terrorism, even though the shooter, Omar Mateen, reportedly called 911 during the rampage and "pledged loyalty to the Islamic State." Jihadists everywhere quickly celebrated the carnage on the internet and, reports israelnationalnews.com, "...the al-Amaq agency -- which functions as ISIS's propaganda and media wing -- claimed that 'the attack ... was carried out by an Islamic State fighter.'" The president used the tragedy to make another pitch for stronger gun laws. Does he believe that someone who claims to be on a mission from Allah would not be able to obtain guns and explosives illegally? Mateen had been on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's radar in 2013 and 2014, but reports The Daily Beast, the FBI "subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation." NBC News learned that Mateen traveled twice to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012 "to perform a pilgrimage to Mecca," according to a spokesman for Saudi Arabia's Ministry of the Interior. Once again, we are reactive rather than proactive. The pattern following these terrorist attacks is now familiar. First comes extreme caution in which we say very little and refuse even to speculate about what seems obvious, followed, after the fact, as in the Fort Hood shooting, which was dubbed "workplace violence," by an attempt to quickly change the subject. Next comes the obligatory news conference in which a quickly produced imam or "expert," speaking for the Muslim community, is trotted out to say that the latest incident has nothing to do with Islam, which is a peaceful religion, and that we should all embrace unity. Omar Mateen's father, Seddique Mateen, initially claimed there was no religious motivation behind the killings, but The Washington Post reported the father "is an Afghan man who holds strong political views, including support for the Afghan Taliban." Muhammad Musri joined law enforcement officers at the news conference in Orlando. He is connected to the Islamic Society of Central Florida, which is connected to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an Islamic umbrella organization that some believe has ties to terrorist groups. Muhammad Musri's mosque was even used for a fundraiser that collected $55,000 for Hamas. There is also a 2011 video of Musri in which he blames the United States for Sept. 11. People like Omar Mateen are not so much "lone wolves" as "known wolves." But before law enforcement can legally act, it's often too late. In wartime, certain liberties have been suspended in order to protect the country. This may be one of those times. Or should we wait until our enemies obtain a weapon of mass destruction? Congress should declare war on all terrorist groups. Websites that promote ideologies that encourage terrorist acts should be shut down. No more mosques should be built in the U.S. until we gain an upper hand against radical Islamists. It does no good to say most Muslims are peaceful if you have no mechanism in place to act against or even identify those who are not. On "American Idol," Randy Jackson would often say of a contestant that he or she was "in it to win it." We don't appear to be in it, but our enemies are.

You need a special card to buy TWIX ??

Hope it includes the Federal agents / employees who are on the watch / no fly lists also.

Welcome to the group! Paul

3000 plus miles away in Oz with photos only, I think they did pretty good on it. Remember the Smoky and the Bandit vehicles are copy righted by the movie studio, so can't be 100%. Paul

She cares about the wrong lives, illegals, islamic radicals, minorities and her bank rollers.

When we get settled and I start the assembly of the container walls and get the final dimensions to order the trusses, I'll be posting photos. Right now all the containers are just in the yard, full of parts, trucks, machinery, tools and equipment. The pads for the containers have cured and weathered from the fall to now. No cracks or settling, so first thing to do is to place and weld together the first level. Paul

Probably be fun, I know the President and his tribe family are never there, alway away on our dollars

Might have hauled some of our spuds if you did it 25 years ago. Between than and now 70% of the land was sold off to keep up with the taxes. They taxed a farm acre the same rate as the Mc Mansion houses abutting us. Taxed and EPA'd out the Duck Farms, ADA'd farm stands for handicap access and even closed the Long Island Antique Auto Museum by not allowing signage. The people that bought our place grow and sell garlic and Lavender . . . God Help them! After Sandy I hauled a lot of granite to repair the break water at Orient Point State Park never think you were in N.Y. metro area.

Leaving an area where we can't let our bassets bark, park a truck with a name on in overnight in public view in our own driveway, need a fishing license to fish in my own pond on my property. Been planning this since 1983. Probably not, it's 50/ 50 right now.

We (the DAV)had a lunch and little gathering for the Vets at the Long Island Veterans Home, A brief mention on the news about it here, but D Day was a big thing on BBC and the Military Channel. Most here have no idea about history thats more than 2 weeks old anyhow. Cacius Clay was a great boxer but when he turned his back on the country that gave him that opportunity, I never watched him fight again and will not call him his Islamic name. He became the same as Jane Fonda and John Kerry. Turn coat traitors.

This is from my USS Oklahoma Society E News Letter. The last sentence is best As with almost every other tragic event, Obama is exploiting this as a platform to preach on gun control. He said: "This massacre is ... a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school or in a house of worship or a movie theater or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision, as well." This is unspeakably grotesque. Why must Obama and the left always go here? Why must they always blame the hardware -- the inanimate objects -- rather than the people pulling the triggers? And for the information of this self-styled constitutional law professor, we decided at our founding that we were going to be the kind of country that has a robust right to bear arms. Just as objectionably, Obama said, "We need to demonstrate that we are defined more -- as a country -- by the way they lived their lives than by the hate of the man who took them from us." So Americans who had nothing to do with this mass killing have the burden of proving we are not defined by the hate of the terrorist? This really takes the cake. There are no words to sufficiently describe this insanity. Americans in general have nothing to prove here. It is leftist officeholders and their enablers who must explain why they won't take the handcuffs off our military, law enforcement and intelligence services and have the government do its job of protecting and defending the United States and its citizens. More than access to guns, Obama's insistence on keeping our heads in the sand and tying our hands behind our backs is imperiling all of us. Inviting the invasion of our borders without regard for who represents a danger to Americans, refusing to identify our enemy and playing footsie with the Islamic State group overseas are imperiling Americans. If anyone needs a lecture, it's not ordinary Americans; it's Obama and his fellow finger-wagging leftists, who keep mouthing their mantra that we need to examine ourselves to see what we are doing to cause these acts. My advise to Obama, Hillary and the rest of the Liberal deniers is to examine themselves, apologize to the rest of us and get out of the way so that the adults in this nation can take the imperative steps to identify the enemy, fight the war and defend America and Americans.

We have had the property in Fork Union Va from the late 1980's. My friend has 250 acres on my right. We have 300 acres and my cousin has 290 acres on our left. Our drive way is a bit over 1/2 mile in and no lights just reflectors...we know where everything is. We have been moving cars, motorcycles, trucks, parts and equipment there for close to 2 years and spent as much time as possible there over the past 30 years. Son, daughter in-law and good grandson are in their house in the front of the property on the road now for a year. Got 12 40 foot containers for my shop walls, the three 85 x 25 bases for the container walls were poured over the past year. So we are set to go. Just need a new farm tractor. Kind of sad because my family settled in Oyster Bay, Long Island over 375 years ago and they've finally driven us off. Paul
