Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Oh yea, there’s NOTHING that competes with UGGA-DUGGAs…

 

I wonder how many takes it took to make that picture work.

 

Add me to the list as well. It's said that we're the only ones in our right mind.

 

Alright, I was asked to wait a bit and include as many as possible on the old school poll to find out, definitively, how many of this crew is left handed, acid readers and works with their hands.
The quoted post has initial results. Please read this first for normal mix in normal population. Here is the result after several days:
17 people total sample size (100%)
7 out of 17 is left handed (41%!)
14 out of 17 are avid readers (82%)
15 out of 17 work with their hands (88%)

Wow, that is impressive! Almost half are left handed and almost all read a lot and work with their hands! What a cool mix!

 

That’s bizarre. I can’t think of any way I could find people with that much in common otherwise. I have other groups I associate with that have commonalities, but usually just one or two.

 

Did calipers, pads and rotors on the youngest's car yesterday.

It was A: Satisfying to watch him do 95% of the work, and
B: Satisfying to drill out the stupid, (but thankfully soft) screws they install to redundantly retain the rotor. They even put 2 on each rotor!

 

That’s a Honda…
An impact driver is THE tool for that.

 

I have never been around this many left handed people at once. Sure, readers and craftsmen but left handed too? C'mon!
I do know, having a engineering brain, it is really hard to keep left side from being a butthole. I was analyzing an application the other day, into the esoteric bits of it, and all of a sudden my brain said "Really? You actually think anyone other than you and about one person ever will care you did this? Just give em a number from the air and move on!"
Yeah. The challenge of having a left brain.

 

Right hand drive supercharged big block c10 with little shorty headers is a mind warper, that thing is insane! I friggin love that whole look.

 

Us Lefties use or Right brain. We’re the only ones in our right minds!
But that’s a funny additional observation… engineering. My father was an engineer and I almost became an architect (and a Chef!). That relationship with my father gave me the “hands on” where nothing was “impossible”.

 

It was at both shows I attended this weekend. In different counties. Cool you noticed it was RHD. It's a crazy build for sure.

 

I bet that thing sounds incredible -- from a distance.

My loud muffler days are way behind me.

The GM trucks of that era were so good looking too (1960-66), all the curves.

 

Goodnight everyone sleep well

 

Maybe the owner is a postman.

 

License is German… wonder if serviceman return/retire?

 

The only thing left are long bed C10's. The short beds are definitely dried up and overpriced. Amazing trucks, I wish I bought one 20 years ago when they were more affordable.

 

Gnpostl would be a perfect vanity tag for that. Any guesses on how a c10 ends up rhd?

 

Export or CPO. The question is… were there any, or was it truly a custom.

 

More from this weekend. My favorite was the baby pinto.
