Great video.:thumbsup:

Now that looks nice. May be a 361 motor, I didn’t see any mention of a 361 or 383.

If a buyer can do all the work including body and paint they can have a real nice car for a reasonable cash outlay on the car. Body and paint costs have just gotten too high for taking on something like that with the intention of farming out all the work and staying above water.

I think Mexico is migrating to here.

As a jogger for 43 years I’ve had my share of loose dog experiences. The damn, happy ankle biters I think are the worse. A lady unloading groceries in her garage let her little ball of fury out who attacked as I jogged by. I shoo’d him off a couple of times but he was getting so close I...

I’ve got a part from another Forum member coming through USPS to me and mailed on 4 March. It’s apparently in that stage of sitting somewhere and completely ignored or lost. Tracking shows it as - Apr 9, 2024, Moving thru Network. In transit to next facility. Arriving Late. No...

I have that happen with all the delivery services. If I had to pick the worst of the 3 it would be FedEx but I stopped using them a couple years ago. I’ve had stuff go stalled for weeks and even reported as missing by the service, only to show up unannounced a week or two later. We have...

Being a long time old Corvette owner, I see the subject of a color change bring up heated discussions over on the Corvette forums all the time. A C2 with a color change is just about the worst thing you could be done to hurt a cars value in their minds. I’m not that much of a purist and didn’t...

For the price I did assume it had an aluminum block. But it’s iron.

Interesting video, thanks for posting. That was a pretty advanced engine design for the early 40s.

I agree - even in non- Mopar Sunfire yellow. Original color was blue which didn’t do it for me.

I suspect that most people who really wanted an EV already have one now. The exception is those with sticker shock. Neither Detroit or Washington are going to be able to do anything for their sticker shock except aggravate it. So my suspicion is that the market is pretty close to saturated at...

It’s interesting about the ground crewman riding on the wing. I’ve read that this was common for P47 groups during their taxiing to the runway area to help guide the pilots. And then they would drop off as the pilot turned onto the runway area. The ground crews were pretty attentive to the...

I thought it usually was around these parts too, unless maybe for a serious charge like drunken driving. In my few experiences the officer was never even called by the judge. I’d say “Not Guilty” and the judge would ask if I could stay out of trouble for 6 months and send me on my way.

Over the years I’ve gone to court and pleaded not guilty to every ticket I’ve recieved except one and never paid a fine on those I pleaded not guilty to. Mine were all the chickenshit type, 30 in a 20 And twice due to police mass arrest for exceeding speed limit (barely) because an AF Colonel...

I’m either very lucky or easier on my cars than most. I’ve had only one significant mechanical failure since starting to drive in 1967. It was a camshaft that sheared in two in a 72 Datsun pickup that I was just cruising along in and it suddenly shut off. Fortunately it was a non-interference...

My Dad never viewed a car as anything other than a tool to get from one place to another. He will be 99 in a few days and he still doesn’t understand my interest in cars.

Thank you. My annual contributions to the medical profession, the IRS, property taxes, and the insurance industry will continue into another year so it seems. :thumbsup:

Those tests don’t seem to be very consistent between labs. At my annual physical the last 2 years my family doctors labs have gotten high results. So then they send me to urologist who retests me with their lab and the results are OK. Of course he also does the latex glove test to. :eek...

It’s always amazing to me how big and robust the P47 was compared to most single engine fighters of WWII.
