Ad hominems : This fallacy occurs when, instead of addressing someone's argument or position, you irrelevantly attack the person or some aspect of...
Yeah, I have a feeling we might not be dealing with a licensed professional with a diploma on his wall, but the armchair version with a over...
So do I. Some of them I really like, some of them I don't. And a lot of them are perfectly willing to pass on some part or car they have saved...
Did I say annoying? Sorry, bad choice of words. I meant to say obnoxious. What I reacted to was the fact that you somehow felt comfortable to...
BTW, a little update from the last time I was on this thread. My truck is done and on the road ( its been to a small local show where it took...
I have found that the most annoying non smokers are ex smokers. I wonder if that applies to other "ex" groups as well. The personal growth you...
Comparing your little internet disagreement with the atrocities that were committed prior to and during WWII, only proves you have no business...
It happens a lot. Years ago when I worked for a Hot Rod Shop, I did a lot of metalwork on a Track T Roadster. Which then got a " best homebuilt"...
To clarify, I dont hoard to hoard. I like to build cars, and parts tend to be a lot cheaper if you are not in a panic for them. This truck was my...

As far as the Weiand/Holley thing... We are lamenting the demise of the horse buggy whip factory. If they cant keep the doors open and make a...

BTW, I hope to become that cantankerous old bastard, sitting on a pile of desirable vintage parts. Its one of my life goals... :)

The "Jumping In" of FNG's made no sense to me. Because it had a clickish element to it. But, in retrospect, it did keep the riff raff out...
I remember some guy complaining about "Fowl Language". What followed was every imaginable joke of how the HAMB was going to the birds... :)

Mine looks like the one on the right. Under the big nut there is basically a wedge that puts even pressure on all 4 sides of the lower tool, so...
From what I remember, she was relentless with her hyping the movie and self promotion. I got rid of quite a bit of it. If we didnt, we would...
In a way, that date already exists. April 14, 1964 . The day the Mustang was introduced...
Very cool. I get a real Fawcett littlebook vibe of this. I specially like the ray gun and the diamond ones...
Thank you very much for all the info guys. I really appreciate it.
Thanks. That is good info. Specially where Brookville gets their hoods from. But I wont be using the hood sides ( the car will have one of 2...
