Break Out Another Thousand

No flip flops, shorts, or sneakers for Gods sake!

Go buy a Hemmings motor news magazine and cruise the gauge restoration venders.....you will be blown away by your options, the big box book stores usually carry them in the mag section.

Thank you, I was trying to stay on the side of caution seeings a lift has never graced my garage.

Depending how deep your garage floor is you might have to bore holes and put in footings to support your lift...I don't think 4-6 inches of cement will support it.

No chivvys you dirty dawg......?????????.....lol.

Finally someone with first hand knowledge, Thank you Keith !

Yes Mike's is awesome. No.....bad idea call Mikes first, burnbomb doesn't know carbs like Mike. Although I really don' know if there is a Mike....lol.

I'm calling the Chinese Embassy to file a complaint.....lol....I'd be more worried about the lead content in that paint.

I second Linus......Mikes is my go to place for carbs.

Sitting in your garage plotting to take over the world........Are you thinking what I'm thinking Pinky?......lol.

I'm not being nostalgic nor do I think my generation is better.......just making the point that working for everything gives it more meaning than finding suckers to give you money.

Wife is asleep, I am sipping beer and smoking a fat cigar in the shop......life is good.

Good score! By perchance did you name your gantry Elmer.......?

I am only 4th generation, my grandparents that raised me immigrated from Scotland in 1901.

Now the things given to me until I became an adult I will always cherish.......a roof over my head, a blanket at night, food in my belly and clothes on my back, shoes on my feet and taught how to save money but not to cherish it above all else. Being raised by my Depression Era Grandparents was truly a blessing......salt of the earth and I miss them so much.

About 1970 I was old enough and responsible enough to get my Grandpop to open a simple pass book savings account for me with the caveat that I did not withdrawal only deposit. So the odd jobs of my youth started lawn mowing, raking, gutter cleaning, trash hauling, snow shoveling, grocery getter, dog walker.....I also picked yards clean of poop, later on as I got older real jobs came along. Grocery store boy, house and garage painting, garage clean out,ticket taker at the movie house, newspaper boy, baby sitter, washing cars at the local car dealers, job at the hardware store, Napa parts fetcher and cleanup....these were all part timers because I still had school, feed the cows and pigs, milk goats, feed chickens, gather eggs, walk beans, detasell, bale hay-straw-alphalfa, cut stalks of corn or sorghum, butcher livestock and keep my room clean....lol.....with Sunday school and Church every Sunday. So after 5 years of busting my ass I bought a 1966 Dodge Coronet of dubious condition.....2 more years of mechanical work, rustbusting and my first paint job.....bright red! We were on the road! I STILL HAVE THAT SAME ACCOUNT 50 YEARS LATER. Wish I had the car. I understand that go fund me originated for emergencies........now if some one wants a pair of gucci loafers they start one.....Save your money don't spend it like water and there you are......A Go Fund Me!

What is copper and brass and lead and looks good exploding out of the thief?

The ball inside looks like a cop lite for sure....lol.

Unless a person just has to have " pretty " under the hood I see absolutely no advantage over a milled iron head that has been port matched and cleaned up. Aluminum heads introduce dissimilar metals corrosion, easy to strip spark plug threads, and easier to warp than a cast iron head.

I see your point but I don't want to pay that kind of money for my Mopars.........I liked it better when they were the belligerent red headed step child of the auto industry. You could pick up 3 or 4 cars for the same price as a decent chivvy or ferd and still have some beautiful iron because hardly anyone wanted them.

I didn't say that the auction and the profits there of we're ridiculous...... I said the TV shows about the auction were ridiculous.You do have a good point about the seller leaving the auction with hundreds sticking out every orifice..........?

All good answers, seriously though........people that are not mopar people have no idea how tight most of us are....some more than others, me.

My outfit for our tradition Christmas Eve costume party. He’s a clown....that Charlie Brown............lol!

Took the spring loaded bulbs out of the housings and crammed sequential red led Christmas lites in there, had a 25 second vid but the site said it was too big.
