Don Coatney Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 'Twas the night before Christmas and out in the garage, There wasn't a trace of a Ford, a Chevy, or a Dodge. The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit, so I figured I'd mess with the ole hot rod a bit. I popped the release and I lifted the hood, When a deep voice behind me said “looks pretty good." Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, and there, by the workbench, stood good ole Saint Nick! We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say, and then he said “don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh?” I said “no way, Santa" and started to grin, “but if you've got the time we could go for a spin!" His round little mouth all tied up like a bow turned into a smile and he said “Hey, let's go!!" So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat. We pushed the ole hot rod quietly into the street. Then taking our places to drift down the hill, I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill. The sound that erupted took him by surprise, but he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes. With the rear tires a' crying and side pipes a glow, we headed on out where all the cruisers go. And Santa's grin widened approaching his ears, with every shift up as I went through the gears. Then he yelled, “Can't recall when I've felt so alive!" So I backed off the gas and said “you wanna drive?" Ole Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys, when he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees! Then the engine exploded with side exhaust sound! Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground! Power shift into second, again into third! I sat there just watching, at loss for a word. Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight, “Merry Christmas to all, it's very good night! Quote

The wires are all red, white, and green:confused:no help on the wreath Don..but I can help you with your cabinet sandblaster if needed...as I never seemed to get the draft tube replaced on the big boy out back, I quickly hooked up the exhaust vacuum on the Dayton cabinet I rebuilt some time back..had a few small parts to sandblast including a set of 11 inch brake drums..glad it quit raining as I was able to sandblast the rear axle and get it in primer...as a note..11 in brake backing plates is just the right size for a 5 gallon bucket to slip under the lip allowing you to sandblast...?

Don Coatney Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 I quickly hooked up the exhaust vacuum on the Dayton cabinet I rebuilt some time back.. Sounds like you had a blast! You could connect the vacuum to the top of your carburetor for a quick fix.... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 ahem..Don..we don't use no stikin' carburator on this puppy.. Quote
