Where is Claybill

[Rodney Bullock]

I have a special video for Claybill as he is working on that street rod. He must be enjoying an early vacation. Bill I havebeen working on my street rod as well. I got it lowered and new exhaust on it. I even got some new wheels. Where are you Claybill? I fight the erge to show it as all my original car forum members like the originals. When it gets cold I won't be playing with the cars much. I am trying to get in as much fun as possible before the chill sets in.

This one is for claybill, when he turns up I hope he is surprized. The old Plymouth makes a guest apperance;)

Looks great Rodney! Love the rims:cool:. I noticed your idle slowed down after you steped on the gas,why is that? My 218 does the same thing. When I first start the car and it warms up the idle is fast then when I step on the gas it slows down to a normal range.

There is a device on the carb called a fast idle cam that helps the engine warm up when first started. If you tap the gas and the car slows down its working correctly.

It seems natural to me that the idle should be high when the engine is warming up then drop when the engine gets warm. I keep forgetting that this "common" behavior for cars is no longer common now that everything has computerized ported fuel injection.

"looks like my street rod is for sale.. "

"things happening...soon, no more garage, and i have 5 cars...I must sell my 41 rod, and maybe another too...soo sad.."bill

That car is beautiful. It has the right look and sound for a street rod. In my opinion that could be the poster car for fat-fendered rods.

[Suddensix]

That is one sweet ride Rodney. Sure would like to see the front.

[Rodney Bullock]

ok , let's see if I can accomadate that:) It's a big difference from how it looked this time last year when I got it. I had to personalize it. I think I am finished now.

[Suddensix]

She be nice from both ends Rodney. Congratulations.

[claybill]

in a quiet period i guess. contemplating too many cars, seems to spread the $$$ out too thin. i wish i had only 2.! put a few up for sale, but they arent moving. last month a bought a triumph motorcycle basket case...might fix it up to tool around the back roads here..

[Rodney Bullock]

Hi Claybill, I have been wondering where you were. i know I wish I had your problem. I am afraid of motor cycles. I was very lucky early on with the cars. I finished one at a time got bored and put them up. I am very glad everyrhing is going ok. There is so much trouble in the world yoday. Now if you are looking to get rid of something tell me what is it? I have some friends that are looking for the right winter project.

[claybill]

Is that like "where is Horace Wink?" remember???

[BobT-47P15]

I thought it's "where's Waldo?"

[Merle Coggins]

I thought it's "where's Waldo?"

Here's Waldo. It's just south of Plymouth.

[Young Ed]

This Plymouth Merle?

[old stovebolt]

I thought it's "where's Waldo?"

Nope, Horace Wink went Mustang..... as per the the Ford ad back in the '60s.

[BobT-47P15]

I don't recall those ads at all. But I did find mention of Horace on another

forum. Here is one quote..................

IIRC: This was a teaser ad run by Ford in 1964 prior to the release of the Mustang. No product was mentioned. The idea was to get people curious about what it meant.

When the Mustang was released for sale a short time later, the ad was changed to: Where is Horace Wink?...He's Gone to Mustang Country.
