My Oak fence boards are 1x6 inch, on the trailer, rough cut. Thickness didn’t matter, I ran them through a planer to match. I started with a 6...
I don’t think he would sell any of his T’s, but I’ll ask. He has more than the 2-3 in the barn. He has 2 drivers, a 1913 speedster and a roadster....
I’ve been thinking about spending a weekend in Gainesville FL with Frank Hawley. One of the guys here did a short class at a local strip. Broke...

Well, update. When we talked last fall it was $2000, which I know was way low. I talked to S&W and they said the chassis would carry twins no...
Thanks guys. The car was built by an NHRA certified chassis builder, and passed it's Certs when built back in 2000-2002. I just don't know what...

Not exactly a fix, but we managed to get by. A friend and I, and our girl friends were heading to Ocean City MD, about 125 miles. First light...
I bid on this one, but it went for $2600. It’s actually a Kemp Airdrive Boat motor. They used the Indian Model O engine.
I think it's the one Indian used on their 1919 Model O Light Twin? [img]
It's pretty much like that in all states. When people would say their neighbors insurance picked up the tab, I'd look up the laws. Everyone state...

This was my first FED. Got it in the mid late 70's Don't know maker, back then didn't care. Just wanted to go fast. Sold it before I drove it. [img]
Holy Cow! I was thinking how cool it would be to have a Metro to pull my FED. The Snap On one sold for $192,000!
I was thinking IH also. I think their delivery truck was a Metro? I was getting parts for my 63 IH and asked if by chance they had the round...
My local paint supply shop would mix factory colors in rattle cans. My Ram clear coat was fading and peeling. They scanned my vin number and I...
I kind of agree. Like so many things there are those that bust their knuckles working on stuff for the love of it, and those that pull $100 bills...
When I first saw a documentary on Cashews, I was impressed they didn't cost at least $1 a nut. It's quite a process.
