Adam's emailed me a few times in the last week, but I hadn't thought to check the thread. Awesome seeing this underway again. Better him than me. I go through the same ups and downs. Difference is that I get a LOT less accomplished between swings. Yes, I miss the car (especially since I was...

Do NOT even think about it! It WILL look worse, I promise. The TCP global choice sounds good. I've also worked with stuff from here. With rolling Rustoleum, there will be a bunch of sanding involved to get it smooth (or so I hear). You can SPRAY rustoleum oil base, though. I did the wheels on...

Stiffing someone stems from a lack of personal pride. It's obvious pride is becoming a thing of the past. Just look at how some people dress in public. I wouldn't be caught dead in my pajama pants even going out to the mailbox in my own yard.

Rory told me he disconnected the cable because it was making noise. He had it connected when he first picked up the car. Maybe it was bad to assume, but I was under the impression that the speedo / odo worked when he got the car. I do have a new cable somewhere, just never got to looking into...

Oh, and a few wayback pics of Krusty back in LA. I'll take all of my photos, and put them on my Photobucket account, and make it available soon. Maybe this weekend.

Adam, if you ever get the notion to do a painted grill, hold off on that one. I have the original from the car hanging in my mom's garage. I'm going there on Friday, I'll try to remember to grab it.

That was my plan. And flat black '73 340 stripe with no callout.

Yeah, I've heard great things. I'll probably put one on the Ram when I get around to it. Or maybe a used Pypes street pro? BTW, those mufflers are welded on, if you didn't already notice. Sorry about that..... It was either weld, or get those expensive band type clamps (forget what they are...

Yeah, really nice! As far as the exhaust, those are two chamber mufflers, so I'm not sure if the Thrush will buy you much in terms of sound. I'd ditch that stupid X pipe before changing the mufflers. But in addition to the better sound of headers, you will be replacing those home made 1 7/8...

37, and I have to say I feel about 37. I definitely could be doing better in terms of excersize, but I'm healthy.

Soda blasting doesn't touch rust. I've got a pressurized sandblaster, if you want to try it. I bought it for the car, then decided I didn't want to deal with the mess. Oh, and I don't know what the deal with Evaporust is. I have seen the results on this and other forums. But for me, with tools...

If I wanted to watch TV where they got the major points all wrong, I'd watch the news.

I thought he used Sikkens.

I was thinking about a backwards go-wing. But two stacked would be even better.

I don't have the numbers handy for the one I'm including with the car. But when I researched it, it was an 850 CFM small primary from an auto trans '78 Dodge truck, California emissions. Obviously if there is a better choice, go with it.
