Many reasons why people buy these trucks. Cost of an extra car, cost to insure and time to maintain the extra car Young kids have to be in a car seat until they are big enough to keep you from getting a ticket. How many of those can you put in the front of a regular cab? We rode in the back of a truck, your grand kids can not. Not sure why some of us (me included) forget times change. The baby boomers and Generation X had more choices to pick from. We could get a car, 2 door or 4. A wagon, convertable, sport coupe even muscle cars. The options were almost endless, Not anymore.

Wow that is a beautiful car. This was shown at Good guys in 2020. Maybe the plastic model was part of the influence for that masterpiece.

Novas have a reputation of the rear leaf springs breaking or sagging so they tend to dog track. Very very common. Even my brothers low millage 72 had this problem after awhile.

The biggest problem with this topic is even some of the facts may be taken as political. My stash is large enough anyway.

Antenna only for me. 1994 was the first acess I had to cable. It was great for the first decade had a dish for a few years also. Still like the Antenna better.

One thing I have noticed about Lottery winners that go broke. They don't look past today with spending. Just like professional athletes, they forget the money runs out. Even 750 million after taxes. Now a nice injection mold shop to cut new tools ran in my home country ( yours may be different) is a good thought.

Tell no one except the accountant and lawyer that sets up the accounts and trusts for me and my family. After that there would be some life changes for me.

That is a good look9ng car. I dought the tires would plant enough to win street races as a sleeper.

It's all good.

There are 3 stores around Toledo. All 3 of the stores had the 78-ish Chevy Sport truck and the Low rider Montie. Only one store had the 64 Malibu craftsman kit and a different store had the Warlock. It does look like the kits are rolling into last years new release kits.

That is why Chevy finally made a V8. That look has been going on for 5 years around here. That is 6 years too long.

I cant wait for the fresh washed pictures of this car. Nice find. Dont forget to wash the shop vac out after you use it on the interior. I know you said the wires under the hood were chewed badly. If you can dont just get the wire cutters out and go crazy. When you get the donner car home take good pictures before you pull the v8 out. Some things may stay the same. Same for the brakes (I would upgrade those asap) but you have to keep within your budget. Not going to lie, I am a little jealous up here in Michigan. They are all rusty up here, if they were left outside.

You are right about the big job on this forum. It was in the truck section years ago. Maybe the pictures are still up. Not sure what can was used the 53 AMT or the 55 Monogram. That part is a little vague in the noggin.

There are some 60s for sure on ebay. Jimmy Flintstone has a few cab overs from the 50s. I bet if you start to look at the 3d printers you will find some tricks. Just remember the really good stuff is not cheap.

Prayers for you Carl. Do what you can at your pace. We like your comments along with you on the forum.

Those look Vantashic..

I second the toy isle. I can not say I have seen 3 doodle bugs built the same way. The only constant is a big truck rearend. Only seen a hand full with tractor tires and 2 were on steel. Many that I have seen used the bigger truck tires and wheels out back but not duals. These were guys that used what they had or could afford. This is a long drawn out way to say anything goes.

So over the last few decades the energy saving push is really for AI and nothing else of no other reasons.

What will the unit cost ? Did I miss what it could produce per day? I know I did hear cents per KWH or donI not understand? Most of this is kind of over my head but hear in MI the solar is not so great. Hell I have an Acre of property, I will wack a few trees for cheaper AC. LOL The other thing is if AI is so hungry for power, shut it the Blank off.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you for the info Mark. These were in a box of random parts I purchased..
