It's a real Bonnie and Clyde special! Must have been fun hangin on the window frame leaning out with your feet on the running boards!

Hoss car sounds real healthy . Suprised you didn't smoke em out of the parking lot . Was that somewhere on the Parkway man that town sure has grown over the last 30 years .

local law was nearby .. that was hardees on hiway 72 in gurley ..

one of my last old friends from days gone by has recently suffered a heart attack .. he`s been in afghanastan for the past two years earning huge amounts of money ( enuff to retire way too early on ) .. and was scheduled to finish the job in a month or two ..he`s ok as far as i know .. a stint or two will be put in some veins .. death is just a footstep away from us all .. i`m involved with some people who are driving me crazy .. ( three women ) so much drama from so much meaningless nonsense bickering ..i care for one of them way more than i ever should have ..iv`e got to break free from all three .. i guess `im just ranting today .. iv`e no one else to turn to .. my friend grew up poorer than dirt and had finally found a piece of the golden goose egg only to come close to never enjoying the fruits of his effort ..he`s a good hot rodder .. i dont know how many more i can stand to lose ..this is his car ..

Hang in there Hoss429... a buddy of mine said to me last year at a funeral, "Well, guess were not going to as many weddings as we used to..." Your buddy has the one car I've always wanted since the day they came off the line...

Hoss hope your firend is o.k. I hope he comes back here and gets a little dirt on that Baracuda(?) and settles down to a quiet retirement. At my age I am watching all my Aunts and Uncles slowly creep away. Since my mom died, it's just me and my brothers these days. Both are far eniugh away, and busy enough that it's hard just to sit down and have a nice phone conversation. Since I'm a male nurse, I'm surrounded by women every day so I know what you mean there too, sometimes nothing beats some time with an old friend! Hang in there.

i turned this one down about 8 years ago .. barn car find .. 440 4 speed .. `im just not set up to restore .. still sits just like this in fayetteville ..

at least once every month some one wipes out in this curve .. it`s not the least bit difficult to handle if you`re not speeding .. but kids in their slot car fast and furious stuff think they can take it at 70 .. NOT !!! .. this kid got lucky and stayed in the small ditch rather than going into the deep side .. loose gravel from some driveways up the hill gather on the roads edge and if you hit it at anything above 35 around and around you go where you end up you dont know .. many years ago 4 hunters were killed when they wrapped a big lincoln around one of the phone poles .. recently a semi did a nice 180 and blocked the road for a whole day ...i didn`t get a pic .. i`ll have more road rage tales soon .. i have several rants and pet pieves about some driving styles

Some one needs to make a road sign, "Idiots beware....this means you!

these are rotting away about 4 miles down the road from me .. not much happening in my world lately .. i did manage to blow up the motor in my stang again .. cutting some doughnuts and apparently slung the oil away from the pickup tube and spun some bearings .. gotta quit doing that .. 400 bucks for every doughnut session

go around the other way and the oil should go to the pick up

here is myself looking at myself on another car site .. if i had a " club hotrod " shirt i`d post myself in it .. you can see how buisy i am usually at work .. and my buddy carl childers hanging on my system "" uhphhmmp " i like em french fried taters ""

i hate people who pass ( or attempt ) to pass me on the right .. by that i mean i`m doing the speed limit and some person decides im` in their way and pulls out in a turning or merging lane to pass me on the right .. it usually dont happen .. especially if i see them in time .. my little V6 pinto aint no earth scoarcer but it will keep up with most anything short of a GT mustang ..i also hate tail gaters .. i will brake slam them in a second .. or just keep turning on my turn signal with no intention of turning ,, if i cant see the bottom of your front tire in contact with the hiway thru my rear view mirrow then you are too close ,, i once thought a cop was pulling me over for something as i could only see his blue lights .. come to find out there was a small car glued to my back bumper between us that i did`nt even know was there ..i hate overpass riders .. by that i mean people who get off the side road just to go over an overpass and avoid a light .. but it must not be against the law as even cops do it ..should be a law for impeeding traffic flow or something ..`im developing a bit of road rage in my old age ...

this is my 87 ford truck .. been a good old daily driver for 8 years .. has a very tired 6 banger .. thought about selling it when i got my dodge up and going .. now the latest plan is to destroy the 80 pinto since i cant seem to be able to sell it .. put the 351 in the truck and make another toy ..put the front suspention from the pinto under the stang .. gotta rebuild it anyway ..i already have the nescessary oil pan and frame mounts to do the job as i had almost did it 3 years ago ..dont know whether to keep the 4 speed or make it an automatic ,, cross that bridge in a week or so .

a buddy of mines latest ride .. i gotta introduce him to this site .. he`s been hooked on rods for a couple years .. got a 360 dodge in it .. just likes putting the glass back in and doing some interior and its done .. not gunna get clear coated ..
