  1. I can’t. It would get me banned.
  2. That’s something I didn’t know, but it’s a different song. What about Nobody Home?
  3. I recognize Homer Pyle later in the song, but I have no idea what’s at the beginning of the song. Thanks. Lee
  4. I wasn’t offended, just frustrated with the issue. I drive around by myself and work by myself. It’s boring even with something to listen to. When the only choice is Austin radio stations…? I’m not sure what it says when Ford dealers and Ford Motor Company can’t help with a Ford vehicle problem. I guess it means customer service after a sale is not a priority. I think it also means I’ll be keeping my 2002 Toyota 4Runner and 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E.
  5. I don’t know the specs. It belongs to my employer. It’s a high roof van with a long wheelbase (I don’t know if it is offered in different lengths, but it’s LWB compared to other work vans I have driven). The color is nice; a dark metallic blue that is no longer offered. The newer vans in the fleet are a bit lighter.
  6. I tried the reboot. It worked. Thank you
  7. It doesn’t scroll down or go to another page. No link.
  8. Nothing happens with either button. I’ll try the reboot idea. After I posted the OP, I called Ford Motor Company. They couldn’t help. This annoys the *•#% out of me.
  9. When this is displayed, only the volume can be changed. Please help. The radio stations are boring in the Austin area. I need to play music from my phone. I have called a couple of dealerships and they are stumped.
  10. At the same grocery store. I was hoping to see old-school traction bars on the Nova. It was still cool without them.
  11. There was an episode of Sledgehammer in which a check cashing store was a front for a counterfeit cash operation. A cop confronted the guy who ran the store and said “You’re giving out two dollars cash for every dollar in checks you take in. How do you plan to make money doing that?” He replied “We’re gonna make it up in volume”. Yeah. Not 100% relevant.
  12. Cool! I’ll look it up. I wanted one so bad back in the ‘90s when it was in production. I couldn’t afford it then. A few years ago, I saw one on eBay and treated myself. Input in a big bid but got it for about 90 bucks.
  13. Etzel’s Speed Classics multi media kit of the 1928 Stutz Blackhawk land speed racer. Gosh, it’s just the coolest thing ever. Internet photos, BTW.
  14. If you decide to use a 928 5 liter DOHC engine, I have access to one. It’s on a pallet and I can get you all the photos you want.
  15. I couldn’t tell. I only remember this from eBay searches for Protar, but again, it could be keyword spamming that got it to show up.
  16. Oh yeah- I also saw KFC’s commercials for Nashville Hot Chicken. I tried it and didn’t care for it. Same for another local restaurant. It was crispy chicken with dry cayenne pepper on it. Didn’t care for that, either. I’m a foodie and I listen to several food podcasts. The story of NHC was on one. Back in the 1930’s, a guy with a chicken restaurant was cheating on his girlfriend. She found out and made him a chicken dinner that was so spicy it would teach him a lesson. He loved it and made loads of money selling it. It’s a business trip but I’ll make it a foodie destination. I’m a plumber and several of us are going for training on water heaters.
  17. I wanted to reply and say there is an old Protar model of a Lambo tractor. I’ve seen it on eBay. I’m no longer sure it was made by Protar. Maybe I had that idea due to keyword spamming. The only thing my search turned up was this photo. It’s for an auction site but apparently this lot has already sold.
  18. It doesn’t sound good. It’s about the same in Austin. My new Local Hobby Shop Is an hour away. I always buy from them unless it’s something they can’t get. I like being able to walk into a shop with a good selection and knowledgeable staff. There’s value in that, IMHO. That’s why I pay a little bit more than mail order. Thanks for the answers.
  19. Dual carb https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/ford-427-sohc-dual-carb
  20. It’s not in a kit. It’s 3D printed by Texas 3D Customs. I’ve bought several engines from him. Some for me and some to ship to a friend in New Zealand. The last batch included a Ford Cammer. It was spectacular. He also offers blown and carbureted. https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/ford-427-sohc-hilborn-injected
  21. Go all out on the “dare to be different” idea. Make it a street rod.
  22. Heller missed the peak on the top of the front fenders (unless there is another 1/1 with rounded fenders). I put a thin brass wire on them with a tiny bit of super glue, then added a bit of putty to blend them in.
  23. I’m going there on business in two weeks (training for water heater troubleshooting). I would like to visit a hood hobby shop while there. A couple of good restaurants, too. Maybe try some Nashville Hot Chicken at its home.
  24. A Labrador Retriever sitting down. It could be a passenger in a car or motorcycle sidecar.
  25. Cool article. I would definitely buy a Greer/Black/Prudhomme kit, plus Freight Train and Eddie Hill’s 4.99 car. Maybe more. Thanks
