So I broke that old Ford pickup while backing it off the lift this morning... One of the brackets holding the rack to the frame bent which tweaked the frame a little bit and pulled the rack apart.

We we were already thinking the way to fix this is a brand new boxed frame and all the components that go along with it....

Finally got to really drive this one today. She "scoots". Gets right up on its hind legs.

Dude! If you didn't have Cragar SS'S or Keystone Klassics. . . .well there's always a nice set of (yawn) slots.

Stopped in to see the progress on my buddys F-100.

I am in love. He has the "Patina" thing down to a science.



This thing sets on a full on after market chassis.



Again......"Patina"



The heart of Rock and roll. 468" stroked out heavy block FE pice. Hyd. Roller, Edelbrock heads, electronic F.I. and a set of the real deal old school factory SS Ex. Manifolds.

4:10. She's a ground pounding street machine! It's pretty quick if you roll into the throttle, then open up the secondaries and hold on, feels like a turbo when they pop open.

And a PITA to keep clean.

Beautiful ride. All she needs is some redlines and steelies.

Yes! I tired to talk the owner into some black steelies, wider in the rear and some redlines. Maybe down the road, he's kinda outta money.

Great cars but I hate the stripes.

Yenko was a punk. 13's from a Yenko.....

Tech tip for y'all from my little bag of tricks. Easy off oven cleaner works perfectly to strip off a bad repaint or spray paint. This gray stuff was some kind of gravel gaurd/bedliner mix. Spray the oven cleaner on and let it soak for about 1/2 hour and start scraping. May take a couple attempts on heavier areas.

I've been eyeballin this one for a couple days now...I like the look and the gearing. Some soft 8's and street tires would make it fun.

That could be lots of fun. I'd beat him down on price a little bit.
