Okay, I'm about to present an unpopular opinion. Does anybody other than me have an issue with people referring to 81 through 93 Dodge pickups as "first gen"? Explain the 1980 tin grille trucks with Dodge Ram on the tailgate... technically if "first gen" is in reference to the Ram name, then 72 through 80 are "first gen", and if it is in reference to the Cummins kerosene burner, that didn't happen until 89 or so, therefore making an 81 through 88 NOT a "first gen"...
Please explain. I'll wait. Lol

Didn't I hear you had a twister?
Not here, but in central Alberta, near Camrose.

If I was to buy a newer Mustang, it'd be either GT350, Bullitt, or Mach 1.

Now that it's official, I can post a picture or two.
Picked it up last night, took it for some exercise and parked it in my garage.
My brother owns it, and I can drive it and fix some of the small things. It's a 68 GT with a seemingly well built 318/727 and an Edelbrock top end. Has 3.23 sure grip 8 3/4 with big bolt axles and front disc brakes.
Sweet ride Randy. Can I have it????

After that 1,000 mile trip to Minneapolis to the car show I cleaned the Scamp real good yesterday and changed fluid in the GV overdrive. Put a plastic bag over the air cleaner so I didn't get water in it and sure **** I forgot to take the bag off and started it up and sucked the air cleaner lid and bent the **** out of it and the air cleaner.

Guy we raced buggies with, he was workin' on the racer and had the air filter disconnected, remote mount it was. Had the little stock carb covered with a shop towel to keep the debris out. Well, he forgot he had the rag over the carb and just hopped in and fired that powerful 1200cc VW upAfter that 1,000 mile trip to Minneapolis to the car show I cleaned the Scamp real good yesterday and changed fluid in the GV overdrive.

. It had enough vacuum to draw the rag all the way through that skinny little carb .

Fred, same guy pulled another one day we were sposed to be getting our racers teched. Tech area was just across town. Them Baja bugs were so light we just used to pull them with a tow bar for short distances. Ed didn't check to see if it was in neutral before he headed for tech area. I saw the crank pulley spinnin' when he got to town to park

Hi guys. Been raining, sunning and clouding over all dam day.
Wife and I went out in a nice clean car and wasn't out of the garage 5 minutes and started to sprinkle.
Can't win because the sun was out when we left.
Waiting for my corner molding to show up at the door.
Have a great weekend
