426 hemi wrenching outdoors

[R413]

Here’s a 68 Coronet R/T out in the snow. Is he removing the brake booster?

Here are 2 different red chargers coming apart. The 69 Engine is down to the long block with cam and rockers off. Maybe it’s blown up, or is it getting built up?

The 68 has an automatic flexplate. He has a cuda to chase parts with,

Wonder if they ever made it Back together with hemi power??

Im always telling people who think "you cant daily drive" or "you cant do long distance trips" in old muscle cars that this is exactly what people did back in the day and that if its maintained well you definitely can.
Cause those weren't 5 or 6 figure collector cars back then but pretty normal vehicles. (Of course a hemi for example was always something special but no ferrari and people drove the heck out of them)

A month back or so the guy at the gas station also thought "but these things are mainly for setting the cruise control at 50 and cruising along, right?". (This was with my 72 cutlass supreme)
I told him this thing does not even have a cruise control (which sucks, my charger has) and that i did 100 just 5 minutes ago.
I even get pretty good gas mileage with the olds (350) when im not pushing it. If mine was a 442 W30 this car would be a fast and great handling monster.
I plan on upgrading the drivetrain and suspension at some point.

I remember shoveling snow out from around and under my 68 runner to replace the clutch , Dads car and boat were in the garage . No tranny jack either.
It was fix it in the snow or walk , I would die trying that now at my age.
Dang it was cold.

Hard to believe about what we could do in the cold when necessary... I just swapped a lower a arm in the cold on the kids car..not too bad.... I’m 45 so not many more years of this left I suspect.
