Thanks guys. Pretty stoked about it. Never had a hot rod before, always customs. The A I guess, it has some hot rod look but still a stock banger,...
Nope. A's gotta go. No room in the Inn. Then, to add to the congestion, my son in law's '69 Chevelle he inherited from his grandfather is in the...
Well, as I said in the Accidental A thread, I went and did it again...stumbled into a car I wasn't on the active hunt for. I think this makes the...
Thanks guys. Pretty stoked about it. @pprather a debilletizing is certainly on the docket. Michelle said the first thing that has to go is the...
350/350. Made the hour and half drive home without a hitch. Really a tight little car all things considered…75-80 no trouble. The A has been a fun...
Well, I’ve gone and done it again, and this time, the A really has to go. Michelle and I were out of town this weekend and while we were out...
I used a whole lot of #7 on my Pontiac in the early 80’s before I stripped the old paint. And yes, without waxing it, the oxidation came back...
I will never forget waling into the Hangin' Dice Nats (have I told this story already? LOL) in '87 somehow oblivious to the fact that jack and...
I don't disagree with you Jeff. Looking at the pics, even though it's level, it does give the impression of tail down a hair. Maybe an inch or a...
After getting a few mechanical hiccups sorted out, back pounding the streets in Lee's '58. Feels good to be back behind the wheel...even though I...
Hirohata Merc, @Sonny Day Out's Dodge, Hub's Cinnamon Buick and Ray Bozarth's Buick.......My top 4 favorites ever. I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed them in my...
Uh uh, that next stays and gets a winged moto meter in top. You KNOW you want one! LOL Congrats on the score!
Man, that worked out pretty slick I think!
Turned out soooooooo good!
Somewhere I have pics of that Merc I took at that same show with the hydraulics fully lifted. I'll be dipped if I can find them. LOL Pretty sure...
…..as I eat ice cream watching a movie. Lol
We all need a kick in the pants every once in a while! Glad you were able to get out and have a little fun in the garage hanging with the boys!...
We have more than we can count. My best friend from high school lost his parents to a car accident 9 days after his dad had retired. Never took a...
It is super terrible. We have a neighbor at the lake struggling with it. He was a cabinet maker and they worked for 15 years on redoing their...
Thank you for the suggestion @Charlie Stephens! At this point in my life many of these projects I am looking for the "quick and easy" way out....
Thanks guys! The sad part is, at this point, Dad doesn't really remember any of this. He does remember I have cars (he often asks me if I still...
Perfect!
Like most all the car projects in my life, nothing new to report on the Merc. A few odds and ends on the other cars here and there (repaired and...
Nothing new to report, but it's still here, getting out and about, having fun with grandkids. I have acquired a B motor and a 37 transmission if I...
Yeah, Ron wasn't happy about doing mine either. Well, I guess he was happy to do it, since he chose to for some reason, but he sure let me know he...
A cool picture of one of my favorite Fleetlines!
LOL
I bet, as you say, the grounding situation was the bottom line culprit. I had a similar problem with starters in my '64 Pontiac a million years...
Exactly right. My dad used to tell me, "there are guys dumber than you doing it, so you can, too." Years ago when they had the Merc Gathering at...
Was good to see his Danube back out this weekend in KC
