Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Basking in the warmth of the rising sun after a wee stroll doon ta tha crik first thing in the morning, enjoying the soft music created by the flow of water through the rapids. All the colors of the spectrum winking at me through the dewdrops in the grass.

Agreed. Objects of their 'sympathy' are mere props for their virtue signalling

What kit had a 351 Cleveland

The reissued amt '78/'79 Bronco has a 351M in it with a C6 automatic. -
73 to 79 Ford truck resin parts

Bed outer designs are two different generations, ie moeb is '67-'72 and amt is '73-'79. The moeb frame is very close in design to the amt frame (in 1:1, the 67-72 and 73-79 frames are almost the same) and it's not too hard to adapt the amt axles front and rear to the moeb frame to expand your choice of wheel types. -
These are a fantastic reference... came out annually with an updated forward every year written by Stirling Moss. Books covered everything from AC to Zil. These ones range from 1960-1969. Another great Ford book is 'Ford-The men and the machine'. Covers the family and the products, warts and all.

What did you see on the road today?
mk11 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Always fun to watch people signal for that or a free-flow turn lane Captured at a yard sale... original hugger orange factory big block GMC; note the rare tool compartment. -
What non-auto model did you get today?
mk11 replied to chunkypeanutbutter's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
When you press a button on the back end the sides open up, hinged at the front. Two tiers of parking spots for the little cars. Dad could have filled it many times over with his collection of matchbox, corgi etc -

Couldn't resist this one found on the weekend... if Dad was still here, I'd paint it up for him like the CPR F unit that pulled the 50s Canadian Budd passenger cars. As it is, it'll probably just end up going to a friends kid. -

That seems to be the best reason, as an officer friend explained it to me years ago. Try to stop where you can still see the bottom of the rear bumper of the car ahead of you. I've even seen bumper stickers on Las Vegas cabs thanking people for doing so.

Found an interesting crossover; bought a couple of vintage unopened 10/40w imperial oil cans at an antique mall for less than what the big chain store charges for new quarts

Are those the new 16" wheels? They look great! Looks like it paid a visit to bob's (or somebodies) backyard autobody...

Old Dodge on a Dakota chassis complete with cummins 6. Goes.like.stink Once in a while I get the urge to take time to cruise random alleys to see if there's any potential projects waiting for someone to take interest... No one was home, though. -
Hard it is, 'adulting'.
