60+ year old thread.

Yea I got a story to tell ya sometime about the first time I showed him what a sc car can do in break in trim.

 

Grrrrrrr
Work today.
Been so slow the past few months I need to work 6 days just to make a bad 5 day check.
Have a good day all....

 

nice Monte Mike, TLC and the right amount of time and knowledge can work wonders

 

I do not think the depression is over as much as some talking heads want you to believe it is. The downturn has affected a lot of work and how people spend their money. IMHO you cannot skimp on home or car maintenance. Hang in there this too will pass.

Today will be semi busy. Getting ready to head out to the gym right now. Then back home to put together my sisters carpet cleaning machine and do the other half of the carpet in the living room. Then wash the car. I might even go out in the garden to do some trimming back of the knockout roses and Black Eye Susan"s

Saw this article this morning and thought damn where are these women LOL, they sure aren't knocking on my door. Maybe I need to get the salt off so you can see my Tacoma is black

 

I cannot find them either Ken.

 

Morning Tom, Have the grandsons science fair to go to. The project I helped him with was a hit with the teacher. Below is a picture of the "house" I put together with the solar panel on the roof and an LED light inside. After the fair, need to definitely wash the Tacoma. It was still a bit to chilly yesterday with no sun and the line at the car wash was wayyyyy to long. Have a good one and a side note, when evfer the missus cleaned our carpets, she always added some Oxy-Clean to hot water and the white carpet came out cleaner looking then when it was new

 

Think it might have something to do with the gray roof(not on the Tacoma either)

 

I will try the Oxyclean Ken when I do the computer room. I would hate to have one half of the living room carpet look better than the other half.

 

And the excess baggage I carry around with me. My first week on the nutrition plan was a good one. I weigh in today.

Hang in there Mike.

Morning folks.

 

Found this site on AOL...looks interesting. Just wish I could afford to travel to the different shows. There is one in Hatboro in July that shuts down the whole town for the evening

Good morning all. I had other things planned for today, but I suddenly have this urge to paint my Tacoma black. It's a little chilly outside so I want to paint fast. accordingly, I will hook the paint can up to the garden hose and let 'er fly. I'm not sure how the flat black latex paint will turn out.........

 

Morning Doc.

Morning Charlie. At least you're closer to Spring than you have been. Hang in there man.

 

Thats a slick monte carlo, my mom had a 87 ls that was navy blue when I was a kid, traded it for a Plymouth voyager.

 

Very nice! Reading specs she looks pretty economical on fuel as well. Hear you on maintenance costs; planes and boats-bottomless pits to pour your money down. WTH, you can't take it with you.

 

I got a 82 el camino my dad and I built. Came with a 3.8 v6 and an auto trans. I have a mild 350 and saginaw 4 speed now. Ill post up pics one day when my camera is working. I just love the g body (80s gm mid size) cars.

 

Lots of room in a G Body. I have an H Body with a NA 3800. Of course there are modifications to make it go faster and handle better.

Pics for some work a while back. New Air plenum Insert, L76 valve springs with valve seals, and ER Rockers.



Pic of the car.

 

Yea Maybe a muncie or t10 one day, the saginaw already pops out of reverse, but my el camino is an open diff with hard tires so it maybe it'll last a while.

 

My friend had a 3800 regal and a Rivera, there pretty cool cars kinda sleepers.
