I don't mind. He was looking forward to seeing that BOSS, but that's at my shop.... The big boss man was hanging around this morning and he had plans for me today, otherwise we might still be here chatting...

Rusty and I were talking body work in another thread. I ran across this pic of my 85 Ford 1 ton dually. I bought it this way. Pretty cheap actually. 460 gas.
I bought all new 96 Sheet metal as that was the newest pieces that would somewhat bolt on that truck. Several mods required but I am an accomplished welder/fabby. We put the aero kit/running bowards on it as well.



A lot of work latter and this was our tow rig for the 30ft enclosed. Interior was all Choo-Choo custom. It was all custom originally.

I figured some may be interested in this. I've never seen a spark plug like these. Scared the crap outta me when I pulled one out yesterday because I only grabbed the top part...

Can't say I have ever seen one of those plugs before...CM prolly has from what others indicate he was here when the internal combustion engine was first designed. Looks like something that should be in the Smithsonian

It was a pleasure meeting you too Jon. You guys do some completely off the charts work there.
You are way to humble in the way you talk about the work you guys do.

The Roadrunner is a work of art and could go up against any of the Cars that "Graveyard Cars" build.

Thanks CM. You are a true friend that I would stand back to back with.

At first I thought you were implying I have run off at the mouth syndrome, which I do.
Then I got the hidden message.



I consider it an honor to hang out with any of you guys.

Im just getting home from a 16 hour day trip to Dayton, OH and back so I'm off to bed.

I love watching those guys gear jammin. You know the guy that invented that was saying, "this is totally gonna screw with some people!" He was prolly German.

And I thought the old "B" model mack 3 lever was a pain in the a$$

 

[Gluemanz28]

Just imagine if you had to double clutch while running that setup

Double clutch? What's that?

I haven't done that in a very long time.


As to the 3 stick, the trannys are still the same, but we have air switches for the other 2 sticks now.

 

[RustyHornet]

I figured you truckers were into trannys. Sick bastards.

 

[Bigtanker]

Had to get some work done on the trailer today. Here is some stopping power. Shoes are 7 inches wide.

 

[RustyHornet]

Dayum!

 

[Bigtanker]

Dayum!

And there is 17 more just like it.
