    Got the flatbed out

    Yes. It's a 318 4-speed with 4.10 gears. Goes anywhere I want to go at 55 mph. Haven't checked fuel mileage yet. I suspect 8-10 is about it! Next step is a complete engine detail. The engine is a '72 replacement from long ago. I want to shoot it the correct Red.

    This is Further Proof That The Dumbing Down Is Rampent...

    There is a Subaru commercial with an all-knowing girlfriend and her imbecile boyfriend in a Yellowstone setting. He points out the window and goes "Is that a buffalo". His GF replies "No, that's a cow!"... indicative of a moron who's never been outside. Ever.

    Got the flatbed out

    I drove my '69 D300 for the first time in over two years last Saturday. I finally got around to getting it and my project '87 Chevy R-10 4x2 pickup out and about. I'm finding that driving a manual absolutely kills my left leg! Difficulty walking was one of several things that made my decision...

    Highest resale color for a B Body?

    I love yellow, black, or blue cars in the era in question. Red doesn't excite me much. Dark metallic green or Turbine bronze always get my attention. To me, a red car is likely a "resale red" job, since that is very common.

    My barn-find Charger

    Ok, a closet-find. My son was going through a closet full of stuff that got stashed away and forgotten through the years. Out popped the Dukes Charger, an RC car we'd forgotten about. It's dusty. We don't have batteries or the controller, so it'll probably go above the workbench. It's...

    Why all these calls and texts about my house lately?

    I usually pick up and answer "Hi, potential spam! What **** are you trying to get away with today?" Most of what we get are from Black Rock, State Street, or Vanguard. All are part of the "15-minute City" scam. They're buying property like crazy and renting them out, or bulldozing for...

    Where did you and your car go today

    It was nice to turn in my laptop and badge for my last day at work. Nice, seamless process. Big :) The Imperial ran great. The Coronet didn't want to cooperate.

    How to Make Head Rests for a 66 Satellite

    Very impressive! If a person didn't know what a stock '66 headrest looks like, they'd think yours are originals. Nice!

    Well, poop.....

    Oklahoma gives you thirty days from the end of the month indicated on your tag/plate. My son's Buick expires 3/31, but he has until the end of April to renew without penalty. After that, if you are pulled over, you'll get a ticket for an expired tag. More than 120 days past due and you get...

    Where did you and your car go today

    Thursday is my last day of work before I begin my retirement. I plan on driving the '66 Coronet 500 to work for my final day.

    Well, poop.....

    They never do. This first hearing is to filter the people out that are there to simply pay the extortion fee, versus those that want to fight the ticket. Those that want to fight are given a new court date. The feelings enforcer never shows on that first court date. They know it costs us...

    My '66 500 and I spend our 44th anniversary together

    Campion AFS, just 10 miles upstream from Galena. It is all gone now, and is the dump for the Town of Galena. What a great duty station is was then!

    66 VIN help

    The same error is in BOTH the Dodge and Plymouth FSMs for 1966, so folks know.

    City Finally Gets 473rd Vape Shop It So Desperately Needed

    There is one strip mall nearby that has a liquor store, a pot shop, a vape shop, a sub shop and a donut store, all lined up nicely. Another place had the police department, a donut shop, and a vape shop, all side-by-side-by-side. The cops moved a couple of years ago or so, as that was only a...

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Picked up my son's '76 Buick Skylark at the transmission shop. Turned out the PO had installed the incorrect filter way back when. It worked for a long time, until of course, it didn't. Changed the filter, oil, pan gasket, and a leaky seal at the speedometer pinion, and she's like brand new...

    Just about to bring out the car!

    My last day of work is 28 March. I plan on taking Good Friday and drive the Coronet or the Imperial. Easter Sunday will be a nice drive around the lake, weather permitting.

    City Finally Gets 473rd Vape Shop It So Desperately Needed

    I can't blink my eyes around here without seeing a vape shop, dispensary, or head shop. It's saddening to me. I remember when some of these buildings housed things like ice cream shops, dry cleaners, daycares, or old-style non-chain parts stores. My wife and younger son use vapes. I don't...

    My '66 500 and I spend our 44th anniversary together

    April 1 is the day I bought my Coronet 500 from my brother-in-law in 1980, taking possession of it one year later to the day, as I returned from my first duty station in Alaska.

    How do you get rid of squirrels

    The anti-freeze method is tempting, but I love little critters a lot, even the pests. It's quite inhumane. There are poisons out there that do the job much quicker and with less pain to the critter. I've got a plumber building his new business location adjacent to my property (his, recently...
