  1. "Yummy" is not a word usually associated with "mummy"...the Egyptian kind, anyway.
  2. Barbecue some of the new woolly mammoth meat and let us know whatcha think. https://fortune.com/2023/03/30/mammoth-meatball-vow-australian-lab-grown-meat/
  3. "Pond scum" has apparently become a popular career choice.
  4. Good looking truck. Man, that's fine...everything about it.
  5. Glad it worked for you. It's never let me down yet.
  6. Changes...turn and face the strange ch-ch-changes.
  7. Well...that IS EFI, not Webers. You can tell by the fuel rails down the center, and no float bowls on the throttle bodies. It's on a fiberglass "continuation" Daytona Coupe, CSX9110 https://silodrome.com/shelby-daytona-coupe/
  8. Your photo is of Weber carbs on a small block... Do you want that, or Webers on an FE engine (the big-block family the 427 belongs to), or aftermarket mechanical or EFI on an FE engine (real Cobras didn't come with fuel injection)?
  9. Nicely done. One of my favorite kits from the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
  10. Slim's was a music venue and nightclub operated in San Francisco by Boz Scaggs and partners from 1988 to 2020.
  11. "Above the law" shouldn't apply to anyone, not nobody, not nohow.
  12. Nice job sir, looks great in yellow with wires. Early T-birds were one of the highpoints of American car design, IMHO.
  13. Love it. Pintos are tough little cars that will pretty much run forever with reasonable care. I've had several, and really wish I'd kept the early 2-liter, 4-speed car.
  14. I like 'em all, but I'd love to have that Canadian 4X4...
  15. Great looking stuff...
  16. Suppose this was a world where everyone lived by The Golden Rule...
  17. Feet are often found at the ends of legs, and usually occur naturally in sets of two or four...except in insects, centipedes, and other Great Reset Food Animals.
  18. Just use an appropriate sized drill bit, twisted with your fingers, to make a shallow hole or deepen an existing depression. It's easier than it sounds. Then darken the hole with flat black paint to simulate exhaust carbon.
  19. Still in the WIP stage, Monogram's '30 woody, chopped, with a '32 grille shell
  20. "Area rule" is what one researcher into the aerodynamics of supersonic aircraft discovered, and the reason most older ones have "waisted" fuselages. https://geekswipe.net/technology/aerospace/how-whitcomb-area-rule-works/
  21. While I agree with you in general, it's important to remember every car is different. And manifold vacuum at part throttle cruise, even with a healthy cam, is much higher than manifold vacuum at a cam-induced lopey idle. I've seen perfectly street-drivable high-rise equipped cars that were built for the "look", running moderate cams and smallish carbs (2X500 CFM 4-bbls or the occasional 3X2 setup), with manual gearboxes or well-matched converters in automatics, that benefitted from a vacuum advance.
  22. Great to hear he's doing so well.
  23. Glad you're OK. Take it easy.
  24. Movie making today often seems to be re-hashing titles and themes that have been done before, usually done better before, and with the added new attraction of having a message reflecting the new-age dogma-du-jour (that also often ignores physical reality) jammed down the audiences' throats (like a 95-pound double-X-chromosome owner defeating a gang of 250-pound bikers single-handedly).
  25. Name the band with "Floyd" and "Pink" in their name...and no, it's not Grant's Tomb.
