  1. I would guess wild around 60-80 bucks a piece as D day mentioned shops are vanishing food luck last one I used chromed my bulldog around 30 years ago I think I paid 40 bucks bob
  2. Not sure what you’re looking for but to me antique car shows I don’t care for louvered hoods or changing cool stock steering wheels to some hitious custom job or modern custom wheels seem to me spoiling the looks … especially if someone did a dynamite job on paint and body work then put ugly wheels on it … Bob
  3. Oh, by the way, I think I’ll be bringing down the model tomorrow for sure wife is working. Weather is lousy. I can’t find any more excuses.
  4. Hey my brother, let’s join the rat pack. That’s close enough man you qualify. But then one of my dad‘s childhood pals put two kids through college with a shoe shine box back in the40s 50s. I thought I would just throw that in doesn’t really pertain. Just a very interesting story but I actually talked to a guy when I was around 12 years old that remembered my grandfather delivering bananas to his dad‘s farm that was pretty cool. I think I’m all over the board now
  5. AI thier really taking over everything pretty quick it will be everywhere… we won’t have anymore opinions it will be 2 machines arguing back n forth on best of Biden
  6. yeah, that’s how we wound up here
  7. Frankly I’m tired of both sides calling themselves leaders and doing absolutely nothing to improve this place …… ooooooooooooohhh they’ll gladly take the pay!!!!!!!!!
  8. No, nobody said that
  9. Oh, by the way, I think there’s only a handful of us left that started with our history… my grandfather started a hauling business way back around very early 1900s he was mainly delivering bananas I never met him. He died before I was born. Both grandparents on my dads side I’m the last one to be behind the wheel
  10. Yes, I don’t know what the deal is. they were built for tough work. I don’t know why they felt. They had to chrome everything. But I did build the same kit as a teenager. I believe I just put everything on the way. It was back then 55 years ago it’s hard to remember.
  11. I also believe Rome wasn’t built in a day or you can’t just reverse most matters with a flip of your wrist this country has been a toilet and getting worse for sometime now it’s nice to see somebody at least trying to do a good job
  12. I also think Kennedy is an idiot and needs to be replaced. He is very embarrassing. I don’t know what happened to Dr. Oz that was supposed to do it but he’s worthless as tits on a bull also dumber than a rock just a camera whore
  13. I think I’ll just agree to anything, but I don’t like a lot of stuff he’s doing, but no, he has not stealing from the public like the rest of them. I think we’ll have to wait and see what a lot of the results are here.
  14. The wheels were kind of difficult. I really wasn’t too much against the chrome. I just wanted to look more like a work truck.
  15. Yes, my whole family was Drivers since horses and wagon around 1900
  16. Yes, I painted it outside green and the bumper grille breather tanks all black also butterfly hood black
  17. Wow, that thing looks real good pretty fair price. I actually drove one just a few nights. I actually liked it. Thanks for that Tom.
  18. I’ve also been to the museum last summer. They have a lot of models. I also took a bunch of pictures there.
  19. Ha ha I drove for 49 years. Last job was triple trailers for Fedex I was so sick of it. I didn’t even wanna come in the last couple of weeks and I was working most of the time 12 to 16 hours after retirement. I’ve got way more ambition than I would’ve thought let’s hope it continues
  20. I did get a lot done on the big rig but ran outa weather too soon
  21. Ya I’ve had my model around 23 years like way too long as well as the LNT 9000 lol
  22. I was supposed to start reading but seems like too much work. I know eventually I’m going to have to pick up a book just to keep my brain exercised… bob
  23. Sometimes I just turn it off myself instead of being stuck to the sofa … I’d rather be outside doing something but this time of year’s not very appealing on the other side of the front door lol
  24. I really don’t know what to think about the engines, but I am gonna guess Mack used Cummings and mack engines in those possibly Detroit I don’t even know if Detroit was even manufacturing back then I’m sure others will chime in on this
