Well the Autorama will be here in 4 days and I can't wait! I have been going to this for more than 30 years and had my car in there for the last 6 years (basically when they started letting primer cars in)... What started out a few years ago as a small gathering of rats has almost taken over...

Zoomie Baffles... Go to the Search box here on the forum and type in baffles...I posted on there under the zoomie questions and posted some pics of my inch and a half stainless sink drains from wally world...they fit perfect and never rust! And only $1.29 each too!!!

I think I have seen the coolest seats ever for a rat...old movie theater seats, the kind that fold upwards when you get up! I saw a set in a rat truck last month and now I just so happened to find a pair of these type of seats in a garage sale!!! Now I just gotta find something to put 'em in...LOL

What if... When you went to loosing the nut to remove the wheel if the hub is not knurled to fit the splines on the stud it may just spin around and you wont get the nut to come off...unless you spot welded it...

Got a real good job offer in Kingsport Tennessee and thinking real hard about it, I'm 53 and been in Houston all my life and will be leaving a lot of friends and some family, but working construction its either feast or famine. So I get a call to come to come up there and figured I would check...

Been there done that... Was looking for a stock or near stock motor for my old truck, and was looking at lots of ads and there was so many of them that stated "runs great" and when I called them they would say it's laying on the garage floor and it ran great when they pulled it...

Yup.I'm running them with WalMart baffles... Mine has 1 5/8" pipe and I found my baffles in the plumbing department at Wally World, a stainless steel sink strainer for $1.49!!! It has a bunch of holes in them (to let it breath) and it is made out of stainless (never rusts out) and its cheap (...

Do they let rats in?? Saw some videos and still shots on different sites for the shows, and did not see any rats in the crowd...just curious.

I was cruisin' through old Galveston and saw an early Ranchero headed towards me on one of the back streets...I was gonna flag the guy down to see if he had any spare parts...but it was YOU driving it...LOL I waved at you and turned around but I lost you...I was telling my wife to look out for...

You can check out... www.stovebolt.com They have a very large classified section on nothing but early Chevy/GMC trucks!!

Here is my '49 gasser with some paint on it...

I know what you mean... Several years ago I had rescued a '57 chevy 2 door belair in real bad shape as far as rust goes, but ALL of the stainless trim was there and in great shape, so I advertised it that way...Lots of rust but would be a great parts car... Well the next weekend some guy calls...

Saw it too... I was a couple of cars away and heard it it start up and the crash as well, and it sure looked like the guy got out of the car after it hit. P.S. Had a great time Tripper, and we can't wait to go back next year!

How I did mine... The one that loses power goes to the parking lights, and the one that keeps power on goes to my dashlights!

The only problem I see.... ...is that it's not in MY driveway...LOL!! Love the zoomies!!
