You wanna do a Vega go whole hog and a few inches less and run this thing.
You will know real fast if your a wheel man or not. Lol



I saw him run.
The wild bunch put on a show.
Could never count on a full pass but they sure gave the fans their money’s worth..

 

HHR package would be good for you..

 

Now you have my attention. I like the 9K reduction and pump gas.

 

Yep getting harder and harder to find oil for flat tappet cams nowadays

 

Getting very breezy here.....

 

None to speak of... few drops is all so far

 

A friend had a big block Anglia panel truck back in the day. That thing was on the verge of liability.

Also trying to find 20/50 Valvoline VR-1 Racing Oil is becoming to find here !!

 

Drive it like yah stole it.

 

Should definitely improve the 8’ times.

 

No more than your doing with it why not just get a decent crate motor and be done with it they make some good ones just swap over your stuff and go nobody would know the difference. If your intention is to race get used to the big bills ya gotta pay to play it’s not a cheap hobby

 

make sure you degrease the concrete first with trisodiumphospate or you will just set whatever stain on your concrete even deeper. WHERE RUBBER GLOVES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He was joking about it being used for something else where I'm sure gloves would be worn.

Yes reading about all y'alls service and stories is very cool (and same to all other geezers who served) and I never pass up the chance to listen, and let a vet go on and on about his time in uniform. I know it's becoming quite cliché (and maybe not so sincere) these days, but of course thanks for your service. I used to listen to my grandpa whenever he would be in the mood to talk about it (3 years in the south Pacific, halftrack driver and cook) and I wish he was here to tell more. I did manage to inherit all of his WWII photos though, so that's something. As for me, I regretfully admit that after 99ing the ASVAB and getting the fast track to OCS via my college work, Uncle Sam politely declined my services after digging up some supposedly expunged legal details about youthful, umm, indiscretions. Biggest regret of my life.

TL;DR and me just rambling:

Just listening to a band the kids and I discovered a few years ago, singing a positive (and kick ass) song about a vet, without all the Springsteen/et al. negativity. It's a great tune dedicated to the men and women of the "greatest generation," especially the folks who followed the call of their country, did their duty, came home and just got back to work. Well worth a listen.

Both my kids and I really enjoy this band - Flatfoot 56 - so it was a special bonus to us when we got to meet the lead singer at a record promo event. I asked him specifically about this song and he said it was actually written about a real-life experience. When he was a kid living in South Chicago (my people!), there was a Polish WWII vet who would pay him to run errands for the disabled, old, and sick seniors in the neighborhood. So that was this kid's job - getting groceries etc. for the old folks in the 'hood, on this widower's dime. The experience stuck with the singer so much, he later was inspired to write about real life story which mirrors the one in the song. I really connected to the band after that; I still get a little misty at the end of the video, at the '"tip of the cap" part. I told the singer as much and it was cool how appreciative he was, although I can't say I didn't have a crick in my neck after... it ain't easy talking to a guy who is 6'10"!

 

I'm sure he's excited.... or aroused.
