  3. it won't take you long to decorate your cake. a ford hasn't won top fuel or funny car since the late sixties. you only need one day when you get the design right the first time.

    Late 60s? Well it sounds like Ford won when it really mattered then...

    What’s the old saying, mowing one lawn great is better than shittley mowing 10?

    Lmao this is good you guys kill me I look at like this what's the best bang for the buck and if it cost 50 grand for a sohc or a boss 9 to make 7-800 hp I can build a hemi that will make 3 times that power for the same cost but let me tell you I don't have that kind of money so I'll just keep to my poor ways seriously though I like em all I'm not brand specific I've had them all just none of those big money engines you don't find that stuff in the dumpsters I dig in lol

  12. Those are the dodge brothers from the tv commercials. The real life dodge brothers were larger than life badasses. They were not allowed to join the local country club do to their rowdy behavior. So they bought all the land around the club and built a mansion for their wild parties. It was so elegant it made the country club look like trash. A reporter gave a dodge a bad review in his news paper. John found out were the guy worked. He dragged him out in the street and beat his ass. That's part of the reason for the commercials showing them swinging from chandalers and making them look like hooligans. If it were not for the dodge brothers there would be no ford as we know it. The dodge brothers loaned ford big money to get started. They even built chassis and parts for them. When henry ford wouldnt change some designs the dodges thought would improve the cars they set out to make cars themselves. The rest is history. Mopar guys in general seem to be nonconformists with a wild streak in them.

  14. That's because you didn't need to take those little blue oval pills at the time.

  15. 20180426_135325.jpg 20180426_135816.jpg View attachment 3878886 On such a day as this only the best table ware will do. We got out the good stuff complete with hemi piston drink coolers. The left over View attachment 3878886 moonshine that's not consumed will go into the moon tank.
     
  16. Biggest draw back of a Cammer, is 1.3 rocker ration, and only so big of a cam lobe slide through the journals.., but the cool factor is over the top!

  24. I was cleaning up after the big party. Time to haul out the trash. We had a few uninvited guests show up. The hemi knew just 20180427_102733.jpg what to do. I think i see some yellow goo coming out of one of the heads. This elephant ain't scared of a mouse. No cartoons here just keepin it real. Real dead.
