Flat rate, Target hours, piece rate has benefits and drawbacks. It appeals to those that agree with Capitalism. The harder that the employee works, the more money they can make. The slower, the lazier, the dumber one is. the less money they earn.

It is what the heat and arid conditions do to all the soft parts. Rubber, vinyl and plastic stuff dries and crumbles but the metal is fine. I have been amazed at the interiors of Northern cars....UNcracked dashes, nice plastic parts but everything outside below the door handles is corroded or...

Well, you can't argue that.

I plan to do the 360 for 360 swap tomorrow. It won’t be just an engine swap though. I have headers to put in and a different radiator. I’ll use different motor mounts, pulleys, air cleaner but those are bolt on things. I should still be able to get the car running before sundown.

“No privacy anymore” ? Go ahead, live in suburbia and maybe that is what you get. I don’t life with cynicism and a defeatist attitude. I can’t stop a satellite photo but I can shoot down a drone, spray a water hose or throw dog **** at people that step into my yard without permission. …

I'm right there with you. I was thinking the same price based on the roof configuration. In 2013, I paid $500 for this.... This car ran and drove fine. It had some front floor pan rust that I did a quickie repair on. I drove it home, 70+ miles. Slant six of course.... I sold it on ebay...

I stand by my comments I made before. Some of the car owners on the show look like the type of fair weather enthusiasts that couldn't change a spark plug by themselves. I can see the future for them...The car gets put together by this crew, they leave and a couple of weeks down the road...

My 1990 360 also fits the roller cam/LA rocker shaft group. The block itself has taller lifter bosses to better support the taller roller lifters but you can still use a standard flat tappet cam and lifter setup.

I like it when I use an obscure reference and someone actually gets it. Clever and observant can make things interesting.

The Motor Trend channel has a marathon of Garage Squad going today. I've seen episodes from 2020 and maybe 2021? Everyone wearing masks.... I see that stuff and it makes me think of a guy thinking back of all the skanky one night stands he had years ago....Memories that you tried to just put...

You write like an engineer. I see words there that probably make sense despite written in a cryptic manner. I see that you list 1537 Paper Street. Is that a Fight Club reference?

I guess I'll stow away my gold and diamond pinky ring too...

Over the years, I had a few Camaros and Firebirds. The 1970-81 F bodies were all great looking cars in my opinion.

Holy cow, what a nice thing to add. Thanks, man!

That is true. I was under the assumption once that the guys at the NAPA store knew cars. I asked a guy once Have you ever used this stuff? Uhh, I actually don't work on cars.
