    It’s a line just prior to “you can’t polish a turd”. IMG_2402.jpeg

    Been working on a bunch of stuff. Mostly slightly off topic big block stuff so I wont post pictures...Jeremy's Falcon is almost ready for a maiden voyage but I will let him update you on that. I will say that the 468 I built with flat tops and semi open chamber 396 heads boils the tires into high gear in a c20 tow vehicle with a 14 bolt posi:D

    I’d rather have a polished turd that looks pretty good that I didn’t have to baby than a show car with a perfect finish that I’d have to worry about even driving it down the street, let alone cross country! Squirrel gets what’s really important, driving your hotrod! When the hood blew off Plan 2 I think he just said that “It’ll buff out”!

    I haven't watched that movie for a long time, it's too damn scary! But I do remember driving to the theater in the 67 Plymouth to watch it when it first arrived on the big screen. 40 years ago

    was chilly here too, but it's warming up, got up to 60. When I drove the Corvette in to town around 9 it was about 40. Yes, the top was down, and I had on gloves and knit cap!

    I didn’t work on anything today since the high was only 21 and I don’t have heat in the shop right now.

  30. We got shit weather in Buffalo too, thunder snow with 50-60 mph winds with gusts up to 70, not crazy cold at 24 but they started shutting everything down for the upcoming lake effect that's rolling in. They instituted a driving ban at 9 pm tonight, canceled the Bills game tomorrow and rescheduled it to Monday, got a coating of ice around 1 pm today followed by snow around 4.
    I keep my garage at 52 degrees so I got a couple hrs in on the wiring, pecking away at it, sometimes these universal wiring kits are a pain to sort out what you need and what you don't, then figuring out what to do with the don't.
    You can see out the window it was starting to roll in this afternoon, right now (1:20 am) it sounds like someone peppering with a shotgun against all the windows.
