    recently i switched from direct TV to mediacom and have found that there is just as much i dont want to watch on both providers .. i dont care for the few car fixem up and race shows they have for all the fake drama so i find myself watching a lot of the beverly hillbillies and i dream of jeannie or bewitched ..a day or so ago i`m watching bewitched and they are outside and in the background is a 427 Cobra parked next to a jaguar xk something that looked cool .. later in the show they were in Italy looking at the leaning tower of pizza and in the background 2 67 mustangs constantly circled through the scene ..i thought " mustang in italy ? " .
    iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Kinda… But far from really alive yet.

    That’s a different frame under it since the one that was built was hacked to the point of being unsafe in many ways. Swapped in the rebuilt front and rear springs, modified a half ton front axel to fit the wider 1ton front springs, I have all the front and rear disc brake parts ready to go on. Rebuilding a mid 70’s Chevy 250 six cylinder, backed by either a 350 turbo or 200r4 trans and 8.8 posi since it’s what I have.
    EVERYTHING that was put on or in the truck by Dick is being removed down to and including the paint. It far from done but it is going forward once again…joe

    sometime in the late 80s i buy a long wheel base 70 ford truck and car trailor to haul my junk to the drag strip ..as usual i fix the body and have it painted white ,, i think i am at the junkyard again as a 70 short wheelbase ford truck comes in with a bad motor .. i get it and install my hot 460 from the ill fated ill handling pinto .. and guess what color i have it painted ( you will see that white is a color most used by me even though my fav color is blue ) .. people spend many thousands of dollars on paint jobs these days but all i had to do in those days was to get the vehicle ready and buy a gallon of paint and a buddy would shoot it for 200 bucks .. i did all my own body prep and primmer painting .. i just had no confidence in top coating yet .. i mini tub the short wheel base truck and relocate the rear springs inside the frame so i can run monster meats on the rear .. this combo would run 8 flat in the 8TH mile dragstrip and i actually won a trophy one nite in the truck only class .. there was 3 of us .. HA ! . ,, i know i have this truck and the tow truck and the pro street 302 pinto and the 460 pinto body during the time my wife is asking me for a divorce .she complained i never asked her to go to the drag strip with me .. she never asked if she could go .. HA !! .. luckily she does not want anything to do with any of them ,, if this truck were white it would be the same as mine ..

    Testing the marital vow because you don't take her to the drag strip lol! Those years of Ford pickups I feel are the nicest looking looking ones they made. I had the opportunity to buy two of them for 1500 bucks about 5 years ago. Probably should have done it, but there's only so many things a guy can do.

    i guess i am the only person in the state of Alabama that does not have a phone number .. because of recent changes i can only pay my state taxes over the interweb but they require a daytime phone number .. perhaps they will subtract it from a future SSI payment .. it`s only 55 bucks .. or maybe i can get a neighbors number .. there are several things i cant do now because i dont have a phone .. i cant recover several online accounts that i have forgotten passwords to .. i cant call in sick to work .. if i die in my sleep i cant let anybody know .. all because i refuse to pay 40 bucks a month for essentially a pocket watch .. i am not thru with my car story history i have just been a bit i`ll lately and i have been trying to find some relevant pictures to go with my posts .. so many were lost to photobucket .. dont fall for their free hosting scam ..

    i pulled the BOSS302 out of the pro pinto and set it aside ,, i found a 70 lincoln 460 engine in the motor pile ,, rebuilt it it with a big cam , aluminum intake . big holley carb , shaved the heads and ported the exhaust side a bit . a friend with a desk top dino calculated that i should make 441 horse power with my combo .. i had had a bump steer problem since building the car so i cut the front suspension out and remounted it with a different more level angle to the control arms .. and dropped the 460 in place .. again made some headers from scrap ..also during this time i had bought back the original V8 pinto i sold to the fellow at the machine shop .. i saw an add in the paper for a V8 pinto with a bad engine .. i flew down and looked and saw it was my car .. i heard the knock and knew exactly what was happening ,, the engines motor mounts had relaxed a bit and let the oil pan ride on the steering rack causing it to dimple the pan and let a rod tap it .. i fixed that quickly .. in the wintertime i backhalved that car and had a friend paint it as i was not there yet .. i was very impressive arriving at the drag strip in the spring with 2 pro car V8 pintos on the back of a car hauler .. the junkyard owner let me use his hauler .. i had remade the boss 302 back into a regular 302 and set it in the second pinto .. the 460 pinto still had bump steer issues so it only made a couple of half throttle passes at the track .. it sat for a few years while i had fun the the 302 pro car ..it looked very much like this car ..
