I'm not sure it was about economics if MT would just focus on the necessities. Full Custom Garage was the first to be cut and Ian is doing his own thing on YouTube with just his wife on a shoestring budget. Freiburger is doing the same. It is almost like MT has this "big show" mentality where...

I was interested in a 68 Coronet conv at a dealer in Boston and the guy kept dragging his feet. When he finally sent the pictures I decided I wanted the car and gave him a $500 deposit. As I made plans to make my way from SC to Boston with a trailer and cash he calls me and tells me he...

Been without power since Friday Morning. Still no power as the crews are just starting to work my area. Some 75% of Duke Power customers in SC were without power are some point. The county of Greenwood is over 90% without power. Yes, we are safe but probably won't post much until power is...

I was working behind the scenes in the factory. They gave me the specs they wanted and I put the design together. Our Field Service team did the install. I remained friends with our main installer over the decades but unfortunately, he passed away a few years back. He said they were a tight...

From watching all the sci-fi type shows from the 60's and the Apollo space program, I was always curious about computers. My parents didn't have the money to send me to college and there were no grants or scholarships available. My first thought was to join the military but after many of my...

It was a pleasure meeting you and hanging out with the group at the FBBO tent.

One of my favorites of the show.

I'm leaving Greenville SC Thursday morning. Anyone in the Carolinas want to caravan (85 - 77 - 81)? I can't believe it has been 8 years since the last trip.

I was the youngest of 7 kids and we didn't have a lot of money. That meant most of what I got was handed down. No Stingray bike with the banana seat. Hand me downs were usually beat to death and we had to fix and maintain whatever my older siblings grew tired of. We also had to do chores...

Someone on Facebook pasted a picture of an 8 1/4 rear end on a pre-72 B Body. According to the rear axle guide 8 1/4 rear ends were installed on trucks and 72 and later B Bodies. The Service Manuals only show 7 1/4, 8 3/4, and Dana's on B Bodies, so I was confused. I saw that I also have an 8...

Not to hijack, but is there a part# or date code on the axial housing that can confirm a 68 - 70? Location?

That is the result of global governments dictating engineering and design specs.

Glad they caught it early. I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my lungs during COVID. No insurance and had to wait for Obamacare to get the COVID test before I could get to a doctor. Crazy times. The (expensive) blood thinners did their job and everything is good now. Last time I was in...

I had the replace the battery in my Charger. I found an AGM at Rock Auto and with shipping and tax was $20 cheaper than anything local. Arrived in 2 days.

I'm making plans to go as a spectator. Looking for a caravan out of SC or possibly a co-pilot along the way to share expenses. If anyone is interested in splitting expenses on a hotel suite etc. send me a message. My SO isn't into cars and I don't have kids so I would normally just go solo...

I guess you can say that house prices are up or that the same dollar doesn't buy as much as it used to. In 2020 I bought a lot in SC for $22k. I spent $315K building a 2700 sq ft house with a 4 car garage. Since I was the (owner) builder I never went through a traditional appraisal process...

Do these rechome places also knock out dents or do any straightening, or are they strictly plating?

Some of the pictures in the video are a little out of sync for the timeline. The early IBM drives used hydraulic means to move the heads across the platter. The linear motor design (like a speaker's voice coil) was suggested by of the IBM Engineers, but was rejected. The Engineer left to form...

Thanks for the wishes. I got to spend a little time on the newly acquired Coronet. Took some steel wool to the front bumper. I like having a clean project car. Starting to put my plan together.

Now that the car transaction is complete I will start the process. Turns out there is a CR about 5 miles from my house and they have a Senior checking plan.
