  1. Good luck. There. was a nice place in Blissfield MI like this. The guys that ran it aged out last I was told. There is even a dinner mystery train very close thay still runs on the weekends. The town is small though, a lot of farm land around there.
  2. Very interesting car. May not be my cup of tea as you say but it is your cup of tea. That is all that maters. The fins are cool and a nice touch. When looking at a good custom like this you can always get more ideas for your own projects.
  3. This is very nice. Great topic for a scratch build. For the front glass some people have used a 2 liter bottle.
  4. Ask your barber what brand he uses. Sallys might carry mpre than a wall mart. May not be cheap.
  5. This is nice. Nice to see something different.
  6. I just figured with the difference between elavation, and other conditions between the 3000 mile treck would be different than a closed coarse even a long one. So that even the best carb adjustment would not be the same along the way. Would there not be enough of a difference with just a car running along the way? Just asking Bill because this is your department for sure, trying to learn something here.
  7. Being this is a "race" across the country how much time do you have to stop and adjust the carbs while driving at 120 mph? I understand this is all fictional but EFI would be the way to go for this application.
  8. Sad sight 2 days ago. A nice looking 69 Chevelle that T-boned an SUV of some kind. Trying to drove through an accident scene so no pictures .
  9. My brother had a 73 cb500 thayblooked like a beater but was a great bike. After he had an electronic ignition put on it it was never a problem after that. Even sat outside winters here in MI. I scared my budy on that one day taking him home. I was going to fast at 85. We were 15, no license at the time oops. He picked up a 74 or 75 CB750 that was a creampuff when he purchased it around 1990. Didnt even have 10,000 miles on it. Another great bike. That had way more power than the 500.
  10. On my 1976 Cutlass I used spray foam and news paper on the lower rear quarters where it meets the trunk pan. Worked great for the 3 years I drove it. No more wet trunk.
  11. When the boss lies to your face so bad you cant look at them. I understand more and more every day.
  12. That is if your local Walleys carries models. The 4 closest to me do not. Adrian MI store had some models a month ago when I took the drive but no Demons at all. Still picked up other stuff. Lol
  13. Our county library has rooms for rent cheap if you are a resident. Maybe your county does this also.
  14. Looks great. The copper is a nice touch.
  15. Sorry, i have the release befoe the coke issue.
  16. Give the body a good look over and try to polish it. If you don't like the results you just have to go back a few grits before you paint it.
  17. A nice history of brand, price and bottle design.
  18. I will take a look this weekend Andy, I believe I have an extra set.
  19. A Very nice nod to our brothers to the north. Now I hope it has a Sass Jordan and Rush along with other Canadian rocker bumper sticker included.
  20. Yes the V8 is on the chrome tree. The 4 banger is not
  21. That is a prepainted kit not a snap kit. So they are the same parts as the parts offered above
