Johnboy, if you're talking about the middle picture on the bottom row of page 1 (the Caddy grill grafted in), I'll probably be having a nightmare involving that showing up in my rear view mirror tonight.

I think half the country leaves,to go to the US at this time of the year,Joe.. Another friend,from Auckland has just got home after a three week trip up there.. They landed in Atlanta,,hired a Chev Suburban,,half filled it with goodies,,then hired a U-Haul trailer,,and filled that on the way across to California,via Rt.66,and bought a 1970 B/B F100,,a Harley,,and a near new Hemi Challenger,6 sp. for his better half.. Didn't he do well ??

Now mind you it's NOTHING I would do & IF that's what the owner wanted, sooo be it.

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT...
That being said in my own opinion they ruined that truck by taking a hard grinding disc to it & then clear coating it. When I saw it I though "WTF kinda crack where these folks smoking that day...joe

Thanks Joe.
What was the logic behind the two large nuts on a chain?
1st pic 2nd row down.

(You never granny-knot a chain. That's how you break them. A chain should only be tied with two half-hitches back-to-back.)
