  1. Dang. Gonna miss Bob. I know his wife died earlier this year. R.I.P. to them both.
  2. Just my opinion, the lake pipes (or side pipes) only look good on our Plymouths if you delete the rocker trim and fill in and smooth any seams. (Picture for excitement)
  3. Pb Lead Sled; slang for a customized car with a lot of body filler. *led Bill Hines was the most recognized 'Lead Slinger' from back in the day. He passed away 7 March of 2016. In almost every picture of him he's chopmin' on a fat cigar. https://autoweek.com/article/car-life/remembering-bill-hines
  4. I've gone almost every year for the last 25 years or so. I didn't go last year and wouldn't you know it, it was the last year that Terry was running the show.
  5. Cool bottle, you lucky stiff.
  6. https://cardesignnews.com/articles/concept-car-of-the-week/2017/02/ccotw-gm-bison
  7. After 171 years of candy making, the Necco plant in Revere Mass has closed it's doors... Necco has been making the classic Necco Wafers since 1847, as well as other sweets, including Sweethearts, Mary Jane, Thin Mints, Clark Bars, and the Sky Bar.
  8. I just spotted this and thought I'd pass it on for anyone interested. https://themcdepot.com/products/solder-seal-wire-connectors
  9. I bought one of these. Very happy with it.
  10. Mine is 41''. At about 6'2' I like it right where I built it. Funny how that worked out.
  11. Looks doable to me. Guess it depends on ability and mindset and how much of a pickle you are in. I find the price prohibitive but I don't think it looks too hard or impractical. No harder than driving onto a set of car ramps. That always gives me cause to pucker but I still use them (until I can get a nice lift) but not for flats, obviously. https://trestlejacksusa.com/
  12. You, or your kids and or grandkids can just turn the damn thing off when ya'll get in the car ...or do this: https://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/how-to-set-up-auto-respond-texts-when-youre-driving-1794911685 My daughter uses this type of app, much to her credit. I believe it works off of your 'location services' on the phone and when it senses movement (driving) it activates the message and 'turns off' the ringer and ability to text. Glad your granddaughter is okay. Let's hope she learned a valuable lesson.
  13. Smokey Yunick, owner of Daytona's Best Damn Garage in Town, was a perpetual thorn in the side of NASCAR in general, and Bill France in particular. Yunick was perhaps best known for interpreting what the rule book said—or, perhaps, didn't say. In 1968, he said NASCAR specified how big a fuel tank could be, but he noticed no one said how big the fuel line could be. Instead of a half-inch fuel line, Yunick created a two-inch fuel line that was 11 feet long, and held five gallons of gas. Another Smokey Yunick story: NASCAR mandated how much a gas tank could hold, which Yunick once circumvented by placing a basketball in the tank and inflating it with air. NASCAR checked the tank's capacity and cleared it. Then, when no one was looking, Yunick deflated the basketball.
  14. Rig it up so you can crank it over (or even better, start 'er up) on the floor and watch to see where it comes from.
