WARNING! Leave it in the truck when you have to do Federal Jury Duty at the Fed Court House in LA! The way those Federal Marshals reacted you would think I put a MAC 10 in the basket after I set off the metal detector while entering
It's funny, following a thread on B Bodies. a 65 Dodge Coronet with a 273-4 barrel. Commando he calls it. No, 65 B bodies were built with a 273 but a 2 barrel and not a 4 barrel and definitely not with a 600 Holley. Oh and also, Commando's are Plymouth. Dodges had Charger 273's.

I was wondering the same thing...
My gawdawful welding.... but functional
Hard to weld coated, and or rusty metal.
Rusty just gases out. Coated is a laundry list. It depends on what it is.

I do recall from class.
ground and sanded everything down, then cleaned it up before. Had to play with the gas a little but got to "OK" The second pipe went better
I had to explain 3 times the wheel was falling off. He didnt understand.
Also dug into the 50’s mercury with a flathead v8. Valve stuck. Pulled intake and see a keeper in the valley. The valve guide walked up and is holding valve open. And stuck there. Have to get it back into place.

Pass the bourbon. This cert course is probably the hardest course I’ve ever taken. Combine that with the day from hell at work, mostly correctly a mistake I admittedly made. I need a few shots or even an entire barrel of bourbon,

Clearances are tight. If I have the car up on the v rear axle that's about max depression less passenger weight right?
I have this thing about having to clean, sand and paint everything before I move on.
HOPEFULLY start getting the steering linkage and front suspension installed tomorrow
Home from my double hitter softball game. I went 6 for 7 four doubles two singles and they intentionally walked me once.
I slid into second the first game and got a bleeding knee wound...I'll survive.
Then on the way home swerved to miss a deer darting out in front of me. It glanced off the passenger front end no damage.
Safely home, cleaned up, and having a toddy.
