  2. Got her on the road today for a little while and up to the exhaust shop. She sure has alot more get up and go! I didnt want to push her too hard until I got some more road time on her. I ended up with 2 1/2" duals and Flowmaster Super 10's. She is loud and sounds great! Tomorrow I need to get all of the bulbs swapped over to 12V and finish up the wiring as well as shorten one of the shift linkages.

  3. Have fun guys, sorry I had to cancel at the last minute. We wrapped up two of three projects so I actually am glad I stayed home. Although we have 12” of snow coming over the weekend which sucks. Enjoy the cheese. 10 year cheddar is my favorite but don’t eat to much. You won’t poop for a week.

  4. After missing a couple of years I am looking forward to returning this year. Today I gassed up my 1950 Plymouth, checked the tire pressure and oil level. Saturday morning I will drive up from Fresno with a grin upon my face.

  6. Hello everyone. My newest projects came to me from my father that passed away in December of 2017. He kept these trucks for over 40 years, in a garage and I drooled over them since I knew how to walk. I will do them justice and honor my dad by putting them back into service, just the way he had them, years ago. I just wanted to share these with everybody. Wish me luck!

  7. You can check a timing chain by rocking the crankshaft back and forth and watching the distributor rotor. Turn the crank by hand till the rotor starts turning then slowly turn the crank the other way. The amount you turn the crank before the rotor turns will give you an idea of how much slop is in the chain. The crank and cam are connected by the chain and the cam turns the distributor.

  9. This morning I drove my wife to the city. She wanted to shop. As we seldom shop together, I headed off to find something of interest to me and remembered reading in yesterday's paper of a sale,(someone selling assorted tools out of a garage in the industrial area). The sale had been on for a couple hours when I arrived. Speaking with the fellow having the sale, I was a bit late arriving and there wasn't much left. Apparently he bought the contents of a garage belonging to an elderly gent who was entering an assisted living facility. I was sorry I hadn't arrived earlier , but I did buy this tripod bumper jack . He was asking $10.00 for it. It is a MoPar jack, still had the tag on it. In marker pencil on the jack, the number 1710284 with price $9.95.- I'm thinking maybe early 1950's? I like this type of jack and have used them often.

  11. I drove some 300+ miles today enroute to the BBQ. First I drove back roads through the foothills to the west of home to San Juan Baptista to possibly pick up a VW Thing frame. I bought it but determined it was too large a load for my truck. That was about 140 miles. Then from there to Tims was another 160 miles. That was a much lager day than I had imagined. The lad pics are of the road through the hills, the church near Hollister, CA, the view from the hill where the frame is. I arrived at Tims around 8:30, 12 hours after leaving home.

  12. I spent more on my brakes and fuel system than on the powertrain...I figured it was cheap insurance to keep from sliding into something expensive and burst into flames...cuz that would be some mighty weak sauce

  13. Turn the engine over to rotate the rotor to line up with each distributor cap spark plug wire......adjust both valves for the corresponding cylinder. To turn the engine over I remove the plugs and use the fan to turn the engine over. Leaning over the drivers fender I pull the fan towards me. If the fan and pulley slips and won't rotate the crankshaft (slightly loose belt) just push down on the fan belt with two fingers. The engine will now easily roll over. No uncertainty as to which valve/valves are ready to be adjusted. I've done it that way for years.
