Tony, Thanks for the birthday wishes! Snow and LOTS of it, right on the 8th, imagine that. Don't get here much since I sold off pretty much all of my old Mopar stuff (Still have some knick-knacks). Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Mark.

Damn, that cuts me out! I attract grease and dirt like it's a self-generated part of me and my clothes are usually, well, "ratty" comes to mind. You guys go on ahead and socialize without me, I'll be cussing like crazy under a dirty car somewhere. :lol: Mark.

What's "shti" mean? :D I see that a lot on a diesel site I go to. If you have the chance to meet me, you'll know in a minute I could give a rat's upper rear orifice about morality! Ma' N' Pops taught me those words early and I rather like them for expressing my points. The '90 Diesel 3/4...

Actually, I'll relent here just a bit. :D I say take pics of unfinished (ugly) cars with not-so-pretty PEOPLE draped, sprawled, sitting, drinking beer, barfing, etc. on them. I'll go first, let me put on a half-tank-top and some spandex, and make my Month December, because I wanna' save the...

Tell me that if you decide to restore it and can't find straight panels. An butt, elbow, knee or other human body parts on a hood, 1/4, or roof does some serious flexing. Personally, if I were needing to have to do bodywork, or get it fixed, I prefer to not have to do it because some fool...

Mix women with cars and someone's gonna' get jealous. I think it's tasteless in advertising. Personally, the cars are usually good enough looking, they don't need someone near or on them to be any better. If I want to look at women, I look at women, if I want to look at cars, I look at cars. A...

Gary, I acquired a gas tank and straps to replace what the rat bastard(s) stole off the R/C. They REALLY wanted the straps, because they are actually bolted to the front tank support. I hope they strained themselves, because 3/4 of a tank of fuel in a 30 gallon tank is a good amount of...

Don't have to have a windshield here, either, but you MUST have a working WINDSHIELD WIPER. Wonder how that'd play with the cops?:lol: Mark.

I went looking and it appears Illinois is pretty hard on "Private Property Abandoned Vehicles" and especially hard on anything 7 years or older, because at that age they pretty much want it scrapped. The only title bond law I could find was nowhere near friendly towards acquiring a title. I'd...

Went to Fort Worth Texas over the weekend to do a trade/swap deal with Gary. Met him and his son at his shop on Saturday, a sunny day with 95+ degree heat and no shade! Gary went totally above and beyond for me on this trip, by picking up a Cummins engine and transmission, because the seller...

Go to sites like this one: http://gsaauctions.gov/ The government sells things in lots of HUNDREDS sometimes and I'll tell you that some people on Ebay, even people on the street, absolutely go NUTS when they can buy a genuine military item like a knife. There's so many ways to make $$$ if...

You should be able do it as a 416, no problem, but sonic test the block to be sure. Chances are that the cylinders may hone the additional .010 to attain the @ 4.070 final bore for a 416, which is the same bore as a .030 over 340. Mark.

Proper battery for safety breakaway and lanyard should be visible. IF you get stopped by DOT, no matter what the officer(s) says, any item in the truck bed or wherever, even if you are hauling it for someone, is YOURS. ANYTHING IN YOUR TRUCK, ON YOUR TRAILER OR IN THE VEHICLE ON THE TRAILER IS...

CANCELED DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS AND INTEREST!!! Mark.

If the County Attorney gave a rat's a$$, this would at least be, I believe, willful reckless and she'd be fined and lose her license (at least for a while). I know, little solace to whom it really matters. Mark.

No, that's not correct. USPS will, and is required to, insure at the customer's request. If the shipper told you he couldn't insure it, something's off in his statement, because any value is insurable w/the USPS. As far as getting brushed off and not getting recourse from the P.O., be a pain...

First off, sorry you got stranded by someone's ineptness to do right by you. As revenge against him, he should have a pile of slanties dumped in his yard. I can't tell you how many slanties I and a buddy blew up over the course of several years, they DO NOT like to be USED in a truck...

A sign that says: "Imperfect ride, please do not touch!!!" should get even the dimmest ones to lay off. Of course, that assumes they can read. Mark.

How about the ones with the fuel shut of solenoid, where you nearly HAVE to have a battery to even get the things to run? Although, the solenoid type engines usually are electric start. The solenoid idea just takes more of the simplicity away. I do like the idea of phenolic/plastic bowls and...

Working on small engines is a great way to make a little cash pretty quick, because noone seems to have any patience for the 'lil critters, but if you get into more tricky situations, like rebuilding them, or one that just won't cooperate and leaves you scratching your head, you're bound to get...

Keeping focused (kicks cat) has always been a problem with (look up part number) me. I have this idea (answer phone) that I can do 10 things at (watch teevee) a time and never really get anything done. Possibly it's because (surf to another site) I do have 10 (kick dog this time) things...

When I was actively traveling, hauling cars and parts, it was a necessity. Since it got stolen and my provider decided to be problematic about my roaming usage and dropped my service, I have a pre-paid, which absolutely SUCKS. They are really a handy TOOL, especially if you can do Data and...

Some places are actually PAYING to get used oil, as much as 10 cents per gallon. Why do you think places will do you the "service" of taking it for free, now? Filtered correctly, it also works good in older diesel trucks. A diesel engine will burn just about anything oil-based, whether...

Watch yourself, crazy women are very, very manipulative. While you might have an officer of the law on your side, a crying woman, a good lawyer and a sympathetic judge can screw you up in a heartbeat, no matter the facts. Many women are just that way, very vindictive. All fences do is create...

Possible upcoming trip destinations: Denver, CO. Versailles, KY Northern Indiana Chicago, IL Trying to get a trip to line up for later on this month (June), will advise of any other possible destinations, also looking for other destinations. Mark.

A maltese cross denotes .001 u/s crank bearings. A maltese cross followed by an 'X' denotes .010 u/s bearings, refer to special stampings on specfic pads of the crank for journals affected. A '67 440 has the letter 'C' preceding the displacment, with 'C' denoting 1967, ie; C 440 The "TNT" 440...

If "It's the thought that counts" holds true here, you need to try like hell to figure out what she's thinking. Your very life may well depend on it. :o Mark.

Was wondering if there are any of the local LA/SoCal going on this weekend? Pomona? Long Beach? Others? Trying to find a fixed point to work from, as I have had some good interest in what is in the truck at the moment. The worst part about this trip is that the fellow who was supposed...

Some weird joke.

I also posted this in the transport thread. Looking at heading towards the Sacramento, California area beginning on Thursday the 7th to drop off a shortblock, then down to the San Bernardino area to look at (Buy?) a Dodge pick-up. I'm towing an empty (could be full, if need be) car dolly...
