Stop in for a cup of coffee

Guy who has it is about 25 minutes up the road
They are commanding a premium here of late for sure. I am still a hot mess on deciding what I want to dump my 360 in. One minute I want a flat fender jeep, next minute I want a B body. In the end it will probably be decided by location and cost. I went down the BDS blower rabbit hole last night. Thinking I should just get engine completely done and ready to drop before I find a donor car.
 
Good morning, it is still morning here.....................been up since 0530.

Coffee and out in the shop first thing. I had to finish up with the new wheels and tires and torque all of them. I got them mounted up and balanced yesterday at a local place. I did like the aluminum slots, but I love the Chrome Cragars!!:thumbsup:

New tires are Mickey Thompson, rears are 295 55 15 with 15x10 wheels. fronts are 26 7.5 15 with 15x4.5

I'm going to rebuild my own OE $1,000 master cylinder for my 70 Cuda. Did take a while to get the Pistons out of it but the bore looks pretty clean.

I vote for the CJ 2 :D One of my long time hot rod thoughts. Dump all that 4wd extra weight, nice dropped axle in the front :thumbsup:

PS .. Advance Adapters in Paso Robles Ca. has just the motor mount kit for that type of fun.

I tried to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the McDonalds Coffee Lawsuit this morning :lol:. Went out for parts, got thirsty, 1/3 of the McD's hot latte escapes the poorly installed lid and down my chest it goes :BangHead: It won't stain the camo shirt and if it does, fits right in :lol:
 
So, something happened to my truck on the way to the meeting. About 20 min in started a high frequency vibration. I am leaning towards a hub or ujoint. Then hot rod was tried...carb issues. Screw it, staying home and working on junk now. Had a conference call instead. Grrrr

Looks like the issue is finding the correct re-build kit. Think I finally found it. Might have to re-use a piston,and change Rubbers ( Go Karl ) Should be here on Monday. Want to get it here now, as who knows whats available in the future..... :thumbsup:
 
No claims on my house and Collector car insurance this year. Here's a nice refund. It damn near pays for my old car insurance so it's basically free.
