Old Diamond P stuff on Roku!

There are tons of auto related videos on YouTube, also. -
Old Diamond P stuff on Roku!
OneTrickPony replied to Straightliner59's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We cut the cord several years ago. I've tried FireTV and Roku and I prefer Roku. I also have an antenna in my attic to pickup all the broadcast channels. We pick a streaming service to subscribe to and watch whatever we want to see, and then cancel and move to a different one. Of the free streaming channels, I like Tubi, Roku, Pluto, and Plex. Another free service is NewsOn. It allows you to see all the local news broadcasts for the last 3 to 4 days. I wouldn't go back to cable on a bet. -
1965 Shelby Ford Cobra - or maybe not …

Did nobody else notice that it's a 385 series engine and not an FE? -
Average folks doing car stuff...
OneTrickPony replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Back in the early 70s, I was in HS and had a part time job at a local repair shop. There was a used car lot in the area that had a reputation for selling junk but the cars always looked nice. One day a guy came in with a Chevy Nova he had just bought from them with a 6 cylinder engine. It was missing real bad and the salesman had told him it just needed a tune up. The boss checked it out and it had zero compression on one cylinder. The customer oked pulling the head. When we got it off, there was no piston or rod in the hole. -
Do you also have 1:1 project cars?
OneTrickPony replied to ctruss53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I am just finishing up a 12 month project, repainting my 70 F100. I had a few small rust repairs to do, then a full repaint with color change. -
The Mystery Car...

Is that 2 chrome exhaust tips sticking out the back? It looks like VW exhaust, making it likely a VW based kit car. -
Tiger Paw Yellow Stripe Tires
OneTrickPony replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
In 1976, I worked for an auto parts store that also sold Uniroyal tires. I remember Tiger Paws, but not the yellow stripes. What I remember most was that the Uniroyal tires were mostly junk. We had lots of problems with balance and cord separations. By 1977, we quit the tire business because of all the warranty issues. -
Tribute to Snake45
OneTrickPony replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I mostly just lurk on this site. I always opened Snake's posts, no matter the topic. He will be missed. RIP -
I have a 1/18 die cast I bought several years back. It's by Road Signature.

stash has to go
OneTrickPony replied to garynygren's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It may not help when selling single kits but I have been using pirateship.com for larger boxes. It's generally 3/4 the price of UPS online and can save on USPS, too. -
"Customer states..."
OneTrickPony replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah, I especially love the ones where they say "my bf/brother/dad just fixed it."
