I did for my 1969 Firebird 400 (w/455). Been running it for 30+ years with no issues. I just measured and I used 1/4 steel.

Nice car! Where in Alaska? I spent a year in King Salmon AK.

I would say he is mechanically inclined, but not a gear head. He's had some cool cars, 65 Chevelle 283 SS and then a 63 Corvette 327 w/4-speed (which I learned how to drive a manual). He always had company cars and I remember he did have a 73-ish Satellite Sebring. Don't remember him working on...

Yep, I was a Petroleum Transfer Engineer (pumped gas) in the early 80's and the oil companies started using the plastic cans. Loved it because I didn't have to deal with the spouts.

One of my favorite subscribed YouTube Channels!

I get my tires at America's Tire and they always mention about new wiper blades. They say their blades are cheaper then the auto parts store w/free installation. I passed.

Yep. I would still run that hood, but one day I forgot to pin it and it destroyed the hood as I started to drive. Didn't damage the car thankfully.

I use Italian Bread Crumbs. I don't have a formula for the bread crumbs, just a few generous sprinkles. I also use the thumb method so they don't shrink as much.

Don't have any photos of our cats with car names (they've all passed), but we had a Tempest, Fury and Belvedere.

It's sad to see it now. I fixed the Air Traffic RADAR and the shop I worked was demo'd to make room for the prison. Last year the demo'd my dorm.

Miss those days. I was stationed at Castle AFB in Atwater, CA for almost 3 years in the late 80's. Thanks for sharing.

I always had a soft spot for Mopars though because there were a few guys in town that drove 68/9 Satellite/Road Runners and I thought they looked cool. Also I used to sit in the stairs to the garage and look at this. My uncle bought it new and sold it to my grandfather... Don't burn me at...
