another thing. I love it when people come up to us to remind me that our radiator is missing. Like I didn't know that I don't have a radiator.

Next time they say that ask them if they seen it you think it fell out on the last run and you are looking for it and can't find it.

Rick I have a nephew the same way but when he needs to know something he always call and ask what to do

We had a paved road that cars could pull the front end. Of course it usually had VHT on it by the end of the evening. As a matter of fact, when I was a kid I once saw a former Hot Rod magazine cover car, a nitrous 70 Chevelle, that matched raced a legal prostock car on that street. Of course it was an ass whooping but it still was pretty cool that we had enclosed trailers lined up on the side of the road and the local cop was running radar.

I have seen a dirt track car rearend come out on a turn one time when it came out he hit the wall and it flipped over the wall he said he thought someone just hit he going in the turn he didn't know his rearend had came out until he got out andwas looking at the car still don't know how he didn't feel it coming outl

Back in the late 60's I witnessed a guy I knew do a wheelie in a parking lot. Car? was a 27 T "telephone booth" with a 283 stovebolt in it and NO wheelie bars. VERRY short wheelbase, car went over backwards and crashed the back of the roof on the pavement. Never saw him again.

Wow, that had to be embarrassing!!

I know a guy that wants to pull the 5.0 EFI engine out of his T-Bird and drop in a 351W turd that just has a Holley carb on it. Says it will make a lot more power......The thing is he won't be able to drive it any more 'cause of emissions testing.

He got a set of used 200HP heads for the 351. Real grungy. I told him make sure that you clean them good enough that you can lick them, after he got them on you could scoop the crap out with your fingers. But he gained 200 HP!!!

Lots of Chevy dip sh!ts here with wheel standing cars too.
