in the interest of checking my body work i sprayed a bit of topcoat on most of my repaired spots .. that was tuesday nite .. today it is still as wet as when i shot it .. seems i used the wrong catalyst ..

One that got away!
Sold this back in the early 90's to the president of the Oldsmobile Club in Denver for $5900.00. It's a very low mile (32,000 if I remember right) 1970 Oldsmobile SX-455 with the turbo 400 and 3:73 pos-a-trac 12 bolt rear end. That car was a blast to drive but, didn't get very good gas mileage.

Reminds me of one of these. A friend had one that had swivel seat. Man what fun it was!

as i am the resident " tube bending expert " here at work i recently got to fab up tubes for a milling fixture .. the fixture is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide .. it took 54 feet of tubing and over 100 nuts/sleeves and 40 something elbows to complete ..

nice work Hoss---are those AN flares or the MS stuff???

Looks good, that's a plumbing nightmare

Kudos - hoss

AN8 ..37 degree flares .. now they tell me i get to plum two more .. gantry machine runs in sets of three ..

oh well the tubing is cheaper when you get 200 feet

Circa 1958
Would have really been cool,
if the '57 would have been mine and not my Parents.

So for February/March, I built this.

i know some of you have racoons you feed ... ferrel cats you feed .. and maybe even a poison snake or two you tend to but my favorite beast is this mockingbird .. i have fed it all winter long and now it expects to be fed .. it will wait at the tree by my front door till i give it something .. i can get within 3 feet of it .. practically has tamed me it has ..

Cool beans, Hoss, that also happens to be the Texas State Bird !

Never seen a Mockingbird, Hoss.

I get these guys in my backyard every fall. It's fun to watch them hunt the red squirrels.
