Good Morning !!

 

Nice.
We Have a white Pantara in the collection. I call it a series one cause it has the push button door handles. I can’t drive this one cause the pedals are to close together. The black one we had I could.
Real world problems lol…

 

Good morning. @ndoldman59 nice pictures Murray. I enjoyed them with a cup of coffee. Going to be a relaxing day. We were able to complete all the projects at my sisters beach home.

 

Morning everyone gotta buy lawn chemicals today $$$$$$$

 

This is it. I'm kinda disappointed I know I took 2 other ones from the other side.. The earlier pics I had that white roadrunner with the coyote on the missile I know I took a few of the whole car that was the only one that saved. There was a black 71 cuda that was a Jem also . A good friend when I was just out of HS had a 71 or 72 cuda at the time he knew was a rare one. It was a factory sleeper that had 383 magnum badging on it. But an odd hood that had a stupid looking raise that had 383 6 pack on it, on the back of the car right under the "cuda' " badge it had a small square Hemi badge. That thing was wild. Under the hood was the 426 duel quad hemi. He sold it to a guy that was a collector and our high school auto shop teacher after he met a gal he fell in love with.

 

Good morning everyone have a great Sunday.

 

Rough night! Winds 30-50 mph rattling the house all night. A bit calmer this morning, but tough sleeping.
Oh well, another day to start fresh. Winds slowed to 15-35 mph and hopefully less by noon. Good day to stay inside and piddle in the garage or man cave.
Have a great day!

 

Morning all:

Not a Ford expert, but it looks like a SOHC 427 motor in that comet judging by the spark plug location, RARE!

 

Good Morning Porch Pals and Sue! Wet enough I didn't go to the show here. Plus, I didn't sleep a lick. So, a grey Sunday it is.

 

and now the sun is coming out, to give us a reminder that tomorrow will be 80% overcast for the eclipse.....

 

Yesterday I attacked the pool planting bed. I removed 4 creeping junipers, raked out all the old mulch and amended the soil with 10 cubic feet of garden soil. Today I planted liriopi and Hawaiian Ti plants. Had to replace the pump in the fountain too.

That left me feeling sorry for the junipers so I made a bed long the side of the house and replanted them.


Put down 11 bags of mulch between the two areas. I’m so doggone tired I can’t wait to go back to work tomorrow and rest.

 

Evening all::

Just got done bolting the Scag back together, it was surging and everything I checked out on the puter said a blocked low speed jet would cause that. Removed the carb and ripped it apart, sure enough one of the low speed jets was blocked solid, little poking with the fine wire that I removed from a twist wrap and some spraying with carb cleaner and I got it open, reassembled it with some new e-bay gaskets and it fired right up and the surging was gone.
MIRACLES DO HAPPEN , wonder what a dealer would have charged, probably a couple hundred!
And if I would have run into problems, I know who I would have asked!!!

 

Nice work! But get yourself a torch nozzle cleaner. They do all kinds of good stuff besides just cleaning torch nozzles. My Amazon search came up with an example, but you have to buy 4:

$15 Cleaner Set for Carbon Kit Welding Tip Cleaners for Cutting Torches Nozzles Tips Gas Orifices Sprinklers and Shower Heads, 13 Wire Set (8 Pieces)

https://www.amazon.com/Carburetors-Carburetor-Cleaners-Orifices-Sprinklers/dp/B0B2573M49/?th=1

 

Was going to get the torch nozzle cleaners if the twist tie wire didn't get the job done, those low speed jets have some really small holes in them.
Funny, I never had a need for torch nozzle cleaners, might pick up a set now just in case, hopefully I won't need to use them anytime soon!

 

evening boys

 

Good morning kids, space laser day, I have my tin foil hat on, spending the day in the lead lined bunker, hopefully I will see y’all on the other side.
Listening to Pink Floyd will help keep “Them” away.

 

I remember Dad smoking a small glass windowpane to watch a solar eclipse... I was 5 or 6 at the time. Noone could see squat through it. Now we have TV to watch it. Not really that interested in it. It did bring out the nuts. True to form, they will seize every opportunity.

 

Good Morning

 

I’ll be so glad when this eclipse is over so I stop hearing about it. I mean I find it kind of interesting but the news is just beating it to death. How times do people have to be told not to stare directly into the sun?
