Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Currently in the company tornado shelter (bathroom) tornado about 1 mile from where we are. Gotta love it

 

F that! Literally! Basement, root cellar….anything underground & I still wouldn’t feel safe after seein’ an F-5.

 

that will mess some stuff up

 

Good thing I drove the wifes car

Tacoma is in the garage at home

 

I’ll give you one…. 127.0.0.1
In no time, it’ll feel like home.

 

Keep that shit on your side of the river!!

 

You guys can keep that shit! I’ll take all the snow and the 3 months of summer to trade for no poisonous snakes/spiders or tornados/hurricanes any day of the week! Hope you’re doing ok!!!

 

Least you get 3 months

 

That's the same IP address as my PLEX server!

 

Goodnight everyone be safe and sleep well.

 

Well Wrenchmen it was a damn fine day to what I like to do best - drive.

The old Ford wagon hadn't moved out of the garage for 18 months so I filled the carburetor bowl with gas and she cranked right up.

For those too young to know, a carburetor works kind of like a toilet tank with a float to maintain the fuel level. If the car sits the fuel evaporates.

If you watch the "will it start" videos on YouTube dumb people crank & crank waiting for the engine driven fuel pump to fill the bowl.

Stupid people take after it with starting fluid...



Anyhow, she started right up, didn't want to idle well though. Being lazy I turned the curb idle screw up a bit and dumped a can of Seafoam in the tank and set out.

Who says there are no moose in the northeast??



There are two of these thumpers, about six feet tall.



Stopped for an ice cream mid way.
154 miles later the old girl was sounding a lot more like herself, not perfect but much less bad.

 

What year?

 

Found a market competitor along the way.



Actually this 67 Chevelle is a mid size car that would have competed against the Ford Fairlane, my wagon is a full size based on the Galaxie.



Lining up for a drag - he has dual exhaust, chrome wheels & gauges too, so probably packing more heat under the hood than my stock 289 with a quiet Flowmaster.

 

Built in April of 1966 in Mahwah, New Jersey.

 

Good Morning everyone

 

Good day gents

 

Ooooo, she’s a beaut!

 

Good morning everyone be safe, and have a great and blessed day.

 

Summer and no boat !

Like broken Snow plows the night before a Major Nor Easter.

 

love the old station wagons!
