Projects The bucket of ugly! A de-uglifying thread...

Congrats! Wait a minute........ did you get it next day air?

 

That is a cool piece. I'm a sucker for early SBF and FE go-fast parts. Nice score!

 

No, I'll come clean, thats the ebay photo, it aint here yet...But if I woulda waited a week to post that, my head would have exploded!

 

What you mean theres motors out there where the dizzy goes THROUGH the intake manifold??

 

If yer a sucker for crusty old FE crap, you need to come by my place!

 

Just for Nitrobrother, I hauled this out of the shed and popped a quick pic. This is the intake and carb offa my old, cough, cough, street car...Gotta put this thing back together, I really miss setting off car alarms...

 

Love me some of that FE stuff. When Chip and I were wandering around the LARS swap meet there were a bunch of FE manifolds that would've cost me nearly a month of Chip's salary and it killed me I couldn't pick 'em up. Especially the Latham setup! Whatever gets built after I peddle the A coupe will have FE power...

 

ya just going around the block can make my local car alarm band strike up ,I mayof over wellmed the mikepikup on my sons GoPro{turn your sound off ,but this is only a Y-block Ford

Hmmm.....couldn't see it, Dana. The link took me over to Facebook, but it said the content wasn't available at this time, or I didn't have permission to view it.

same here, cant see the video. And I was hoping for some noise!

 

I was able to view it with no trouble. Kool sounding Y block and kool looking A roadster Dana.

Do you have a Facebook site Blownfuel?

Chip check in. Still concerned about the weather there.

 

FE's are like 409's VERY distinct exhaust note. You can be at the track, and one fires up on the opposite side of the pits, and you IMMEDIATELY know what it is.

 

He pmed me last night, seems fine. I tend to have a lot of trouble with fecesbook, maybe the trouble is on my end.

 

Yes, is Dana's page under Dana Barlow? I'll try to search it from inside Facebook. Haven't heard from Chip, but I have friends with a place in Tucson, and a place on the river near Yuma, and they posted it wasn't too bad at either spot, but could've been heavier in Phoenix. Chip's probably taking advantage of the cooler temps to kick some work out!

Yes,I know I'm werid using my real name on stuff,but was {"The Bat" out of hell }for so long seemed OK to just be me too.

 

Not really, I use my real name (Kurt Brown) on Facebook also. I found one Dana Barlow in Miami, Fl that had a roundly round modified ((I think)

Hey gang! I'm fine, Blownfuel nailed it, I've been out in the shop for the last few days working my butt off trying to take advantage of the coolest August on record. Right now I have my WINDOWS open in the house, which HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN AUGUST EVER!!! We can usually expect 115 for most of the month. This is awesome!

The flooding and stuff that you guys are hearing about has occurred way north of me this week, and a few miles south for last weeks deal. The good ship HRC (Hot Rod Central) is doing just fine. more cool temps and rain scheduled for the next few days, so I'm gonna make hay while the sun AINT shinin'!

This is how the 'Bucket has looked for the last few days.... Like H.A.M.B.er Jerry said at one of our get togethers last Feb. when it rained last time and the blue tarp came out, "It's either the world's largest homeless person's shopping cart, or Chip's here..."

 

Hmm....not sure what happened with that last post. I was gonna say I didn't find the video on that Dana Barlow's facebook site, It's thundering up in the mountians here now, not supposed to be any wet stuff today. hope it doesn't make it down this way tonight, taking Robin to NIN concert for her birthday tonight.

 

Its amazing how universal those blue tarps are

I forgot to say Thank You to you guys for being concerned about me.

 

Blue tarps... Phaa! Buncha wanna-be posers...

 

Haha, doesn't everybody know silver tarps are the way to go. That's what is (sort of) covering my rpu, and holding a large pile o' dirt in the alley. Much classier you know

 

Hey hey now, my blue tarp came with the car...

 

Oh dear, I must be one of those " Rich, Cheque book Rodders " as I have a proper rian proof car covers for my T. The only problem is if the exhaust is still hot when you place it on the car you can burn holes in it so you have to remember to put it on the right way around otherwise the holes allow water in where you you don't want, guess how I know guys.

 

Blue tarps are SO not traditional! ROFLMAO!

 

The only good tarp is a green canvas one!

 

Absolutely, not one of those cheap blue or silver knockoffs

A wee bit of sarcasm never hurt anyone, right?

 

You guys are all wrong, a traditional tarp would be made of canvas.

 

Yea, but to REALLY be traditional, its gotta be a half rotten canvas tarp!
