  1. There are tons of auto related videos on YouTube, also.
  2. 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.
  3. Did nobody else notice that it's a 385 series engine and not an FE?
  4. Here's a pic I took of the Corner several years ago. You can see the truck at the curb, along with the statues of some of the Eagles band members and the mural on the window of the building in the background. The gift shops are loaded with t-shirts and such.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Is that 2 chrome exhaust tips sticking out the back? It looks like VW exhaust, making it likely a VW based kit car.
  8. 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.
  9. I mostly just lurk on this site. I always opened Snake's posts, no matter the topic. He will be missed. RIP
  10. I have a 1/18 die cast I bought several years back. It's by Road Signature.
  11. Manual roll up windows. Non power door locks. Carburetors. Floor mounted dimmer switches. Chrome antennas. Rubber floor mats. Manual steering and drum brakes.
  12. This one was at the F100 Supernationals in 2022.
  13. I've had many over the years, the newest being an 84 Mustang GT. Currently working on my 70 F100.
  14. 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.
  15. Yeah, I especially love the ones where they say "my bf/brother/dad just fixed it."
