Yup. Dad crammed the front weight box on the 656 full of window counterweights that he saved when we remodeled the old farm house. Not pretty, but effective.

8 years old and not a care in the world. Had my Saturn V rocket model on my dresser. Company dad worked for was a NASA supplier, he brought home some neat promotional pictures all through the Apollo program. Wish I still had them.

Suppose that had something to do with the quality of his, um, tackle? 😆

Yeah, what works on the assembly line isn't always service friendly.

I know the feeling. I can count at least 6 times when I should have been taken but was spared. Little brother was the outgoing, athletic, healthy one. Diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and gone within a year. Makes no sense.

My old home town had a Big A with a complete machine shop. They did the machine work on the Ford NAA engine that I overhauled as a high school ag shop project. Unfortunately they closed their doors quite a while ago.

Huge cajones? Seriously though, appears to be some kind of in flight maintainence on a dirigible.

And even more stunned that his current "mansion" is a 20 x 20 pre-fab in Boca Chica.

At least you caught it. The missing distributor hold down bolt on my SBC finally re-appeared after it wore a hole in the intake port wall. Sometimes you just gotta learn lessons the hard way when you're a kid.

Stuff like this seems to happen all the time. Not long ago a registered letter addressed to me and mailed from a post office not more than 30 miles away (north central Indiana) ended up in a dead letter bin somewhere in the Carolina's. If the sender hadn't contacted me to follow up, it would never have been found.

I've seen a few Rivians as well as a couple of Cybertrucks in my area. Have also talked with a construction foreman who has a Lightning for their work truck. He likes it, says he probably wouldn't go back to a conventional pick up for what he does. A big part of me hates to see the old V-8's go but its a changing world and I can see the EV's gaining traction.

I think I tried almost all of these methods on the old camper my wife bought from her uncle and the darn this still leaked. Thankfully a big storm and even bigger falling tree put that money pit out of my misery.

Always knew they were full of it. 😆

Always seemed like we bailed on 90/90 days too. And I usually got stuck in the hay loft.

Substitute taught a graphic arts class about 15 years ago. When I saw what they could do with PhotoShop even then I swore I would never trust another picture unless I took it. 😳

My cousin had a '70 SS with the LS-6 454. It was quite the ride.

The Wide Track people. 😁

I think it's stuck in 2nd gear.

Unless, of course, you opt for the slightly up-engined edition. 😆

Just like the go fast guys say, ain't no replacement for displacement. 😆🤣

What they said. ^

Less front tire wear for sure. Just steer with the brakes. 😂

For those of you contemplating taking the big leap: What's hers is hers and what's yours is hers. Learn it, know it, own it.

The question is, how far away when you took the shot? I'm guessing a scatter gun wasn't challenging enough for you.
