CAR SHOW TROUBLES...another long story, enjoy. Lately our monthly car meet in our quaint historic downtown has been...contentious? The problem is with the businesses and the saving of spaces, on the stretch where we have been parking, which is what use to be the main road through the center of...

Did anybody else see this? Something lit up the sky in the Vegas area and folks storing heavy equipment said ten foot creatures were tinkering with a front loader Lately there is a lot of chatter and whistle blowers, either this is a distraction, a psyop, or we are not alone. Not sure if...

I was baffled and very concerned over the use of oil in this recently installed 327. A half quart in 100 miles, again, no leaks no smoke. Baffled. Not baffled, the valve cover that is, with pcv hooked up in proper place. I don’t think I ran into this minor issue before, but after searching...

A friend of mine was selling a 1949 Ford two door sedan, and I ran an ad for him. I got contacted by this guy that wanted to trade even for the Ford, but seller wanted cash. He is asking about 8K for this, just needs a few things hooked up, but the owner is not in great physical shape and is...

Got me a 327 in the '53 Chev. The 1979 305 that was in my '53, started smoking up the cabin at 40MPH, (pan gasket plus rear main), had a miss in one cylinder, compression test showed a range of 30 on the number one to 108 as the highest, the rest were between 85 and 100. But the plugs were not...

....the T 400 that is. Second time in 4 years...that is. My REMCO guy took good care of me, not sure how well that first rebuild was, as I posted in poetry form the lack of quality including leaving the original and missing flexplate washers inside of the torque converter channel where they...

Plant yourself in the interior of this hot rod farm truck, well rooted in the fields of Florida. I have seed this truck before, it makes it in this condition to the local church car meets, guaranteed to grow on you, and wood make any farmer proud and others green with envy. But hay, I'm not...

A buddy of mine has a Ford collection dating from 1910 to 1970, over a dozen cars. The other day he dug this one out, purchased a few years ago from the daughter of the original owner This car was purchased brand new from a dealership, right here in my little town, by the mom when she was 20...

Saturday morning I went to the Detail Garage cars and coffee in Tampa, this is a big show, easily over 1000 cars, but only about 20-30 of the oldies and a handful of rats. This was a live stream, 2 and a half hours. It is a popular show, free krispy Kremes, and it is right turn only when...

This is a huge show, 700 cars, a little Jesus. First the rattys: .

This 51 Plymouth 2 door showed up at our downtown meet, the man just put the for sale sign on it. I checked it out, drove it, odometer says 18000 miles, but I will be damned if it hadn't just turned over once. He drove it from Clermont, Florida, about an hour ride, and this is the second time...

Hanging out with the crew at the Wild Game Cookout and car show. (These church shows are the best!) Anyway, The guy that owns these is pushing 90, still drags his dragster around to the shows. This drag truck with the 235 6 cyl was last raced in the 60's, and was sitting ever since under the...

So my 53 Chev, titled in Florida, has the engine number on the title. This engine is long gone as I have the SBC. I was talking to a guy in the tow business and he said that if my car was ever impounded, it wouldn't be released if they can't associate a VIN to the car, suggested I look on the...

So this showed up at our pizza meet up last night. This is what you get when you want to wrap your engine with a car. A 1958? Lloyd with the smallest seats I ever saw in a car, probably original. Same as Hilman, a German car.

This guy has me beat...,34 degrees here as of this typing and I am not going to try. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iiSZARbko-4

So my buddy with a low mileage '54 Chev Del Ray switched his 235 six points distributor for the HEI, bought at a performance shop up the road, (cool place). We installed it yesterday, he was told by shop and others that he doesn't need the vac advance. On these cars, the original vac advance is...

So for over a year I am hearing this critter or something waking me in the middle of the night in the wall of my bedroom by my bed. Enter the great hunter 'Rambo' , a large Maine Coon/Norwegian Forester who for the past week or two has been leaving gifts for me by my truck, over a dozen mice...
