You should have brought the Circus Lady home with you when you had the chance, she would have kept you warm!<label for="rb_iconid_10"></label> I have been getting up early and putting the heater on my compute out in the shop or it wont start! Pat

 

Last week I drove to work with the A it was a nice crisp 28 deg.

 

Is there a way that the two Banger threads can be combined? Is it something that we would have to petition Ryan to get fixed? P

2X on that-My avatar car has a fairly warm street engine, and stock radiator. No problems on hot days, temp stays at 170-180f with no thermostat, but I don't run side pans either.

ifn i can find this , i would think most can also .............. steve

 

My banger runs!!!!!! After 35+ years in the barn the banger in my 29 A 4 door runs. Still have a gas leak to deal with but we got it to run today. Did not run it too long. I was a little worried about the hot exhaust blasting toward the puddle of gas on the floor.I am trying to keep as many rusty parts a possible I want to make it look like it was driven right out of storage. I want to enjoy it as is this coming year and then start with some modifications.

 

Got the rp going (earthquake damage but fixable) went for a wee run now sunburnt to heck dammed hot down here HeHe
Got the latest F.A.S.T. mag today nice shots of Pats cylinder head looks like they may do a writeup next time round better sign up now boys. If it wasnt for F.A.S.T. the H.A.M.B. and NW Speedsters site I would be a little left out in the cold down here . Great contacts great people keeps me sane as we repair our damaged city Thanks to all you guys for your messages and continuing support it means a lot.

What's up Banger buddies, I don't post much but let me show you guys the header I am building for my little banger (I'll post pics of how many directions I have gone with this project too)... hope you enjoy and I hope to have this little bad boy on the road soon, me and the ole lady are jonesen to take it out for a ride...

 

I like the gold I would have never picked it but it's cool

 

Looks like the color I put on my De Soto with silver valve covers. I tried a lot of brands & shades before I found the right one. P

 

OK I'm here ......... maybe

 

Great to have you back sir!

 

about time
get to work

 

I'm retired

 

I like the way you can swap bodies on that chassis!

When you get bored with running the pickup, you can have a roadster! And visa versa!

Seriously though... which one is it going to have?

Sam

 

That just means you have PLENTY of tread left, Bluto

 

I'm retired
hmmmmm , im retarded ... not quit the same .............. steve

 

Can someone explain this "retirement" thing to me? How do you catch it ?
I'm 72, am I too late to get re-tried ? All of this is very confusing
Ron (at least I was this morning)

 

well for me ... i got sick & had to quit work . not my idea ! i believe its the same for several here ./.. steve

 

If it wasn't for Henry Ford and Ed Cole, I'd be a stamp collector

my 2 idols are ... henry ford & howard hughes .......... both ahead of their times .. steve

 

2X+Nikki Tesla, those three are mostly responsible for our modern world, altho I think they would look down on all the hand held thumb button pushing as stiffling creativity. IMHO, Pat (God I feel good! a beer in one hand & a rant in the other)

 

none of the chevy links work?

 

Looks like none of the truncated links work actually.

 

That's just a Chevy thing....
My old ford runs better then my 94 Chevy pickup

 

Now, now BCC, don't be a hater
