    Ok Stone... now that your done F ing around , make it bark!
     
  8. Lol.... fucking around....
     
  9. I'm sorry to say that upon further inspection, the rear springs under the car are a mess. Me and super Dave looked at them yesterday evening, it appears that he had taken a couple of main leaves and cut the ends off, and added them to the pack. They are the stock width with the groove in them. It's pretty horrendous. Back and forth, and back and forth.... I'm gonna go with my original plan and put the ladder bars under it. So much for the easy way out. Unless I run across some decent springs local.
     
  10. Your spring pack looked awfully large for a wagon! They are bigger than what’s under Papaw!

    Thats old school traction control as I mentioned before. I’d run it to see. One less thing on the get it running punch list. Always time afterwards to change things up.
     
  12. It's cobbled, I don't even know how many are probably broke lol

    Sitting in Chuck Finders shop one day talking shop, he would say, just put a blower on it, fixes all your problems.

  20. I don't get it? Is it a problem? You can click ignore or scroll right on past my content if it's a problem.

    Wow touchy subject? I am starting a '57 150 gasser build and wanted to follow along to see how you were doing the front & rear suspension, don't have hours to spend catching up on 39 pages, just want to cut to the meat of things. Don't worry won't be bothering you again! And Gene doesn't need to be added to the "hate" he was just trying to help!

    Lloyd not everyone sees the humor in your build thread that started on a whim. Or your popularity with us hooligans to keep bumping your thread for our entertainment. It is all good. As part of the Tri5 Mafia we have nothing but good interest in your build. Keep slugging away. More Pictures help too!!!!! ;);););)

    It’s called postpartyn depression It can make people cranky. I think he gets a pass after all the work he put in so everyone else could party. I know I was depressed because I didn’t get to go.
