So I have been cruising the FB Marketplace lately, I search within 500 Miles of my home town. And look for "STUFF" I need, Intakes, carbs, speed stuff, vintage parts, shifters etc... If I find something that tickles my fancy, and it's within driving distance. I tender an offer, now I offer what it's worth to me, and many times I get it and some times I don't. No sweat, if it's worth it's weight in Gold to you, you should melt it down and sell it. If it cluttering your shelf, I'll help you out and let it clutter my shelf. This is turning into somewhat of an addiction. How many intakes do you need ? (4 Barrel, dual quad, Tri power, Holly to Weber........) Great fun and cheap entertainment. Maybe our paths will cross.

This is a friend of mines, private collection. I have a 1966 C10, he specializes in Chevy trucks. It is handy having access to a specialized spare parts yard. And fortunately everything is for sale.

Mine was the 1966, 105 Flarestat 4 way flasher unit, sold as a GM accessory. Nitro

Hello Tribe. I have a suggestion for a great spring or summer destination. Jump in the Hot Rod, Classic, Jalopy and head to Portage MI, Just S of Kalamazoo MI. There is a great destination called the AirZoo. It started as a Private collection of WWII planes with animal names, and started with 6 planes. Needless to say it has blossomed and now includes an SR71 Blackbird and the only F117 Stealth in a non government collection. They are restoring 3 aircraft currently and you can tour the repair facility. There are several cars within the displays, as well as a Ford Tripower aircraft. Well worth it in my humble opinion. A pretty easy drive from OH, IL, IN, MI. Enjoy, I did. Nitro

What a Pisser, I hate when companies do that, they offer a pittance to promote, long term employees, lose them and then finally end up paying market for the replacement, who has less experience and no loyalty. Just be honest from the get go and save yourself the hassle. Sometimes I think HR people are the stupidest people in a company. We've had one for 10 years in our company, festering like a Cancer. OK Rant over. Nitro

Sajeev Great Job really makes the front pop, and changes the look completely. Like the wheels too. Nitro

I also live in MI where the salt Gods require ritual sacrifice, luckily my company provides me a car to sacrifice to the salt Gods. However it's all mute, as I have been trapped at home since July with work from home orders issued by the state. Guitar love your car Glad you drive it , even in the rain. Wish i could get mine out even in the winter, but salt and dirt roads conspire against me. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎11-01-2021

Bhart Love your Mini's, I have that on my bucket list of cars I will own before the end. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎05-01-2021

Could have probably saved the threads with careful die chasing, depending on how deep the female mating hole was and how many threads were engaged when full inserted, but I would not have used it, Brakes are kind of important. Thanks for the show and tell. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎29-12-2020

Bhart With the 5.9 Cummins and 6 speed manual box, I get 20 mpg in the truck, with just camper I get 15 mpg and with car in camper I get 13 mpg. That is doing 70mph on highway. That Cummins was made to tow. In US your license is good for 26,000 lbs as long as you don't have air brakes, then you need a CDL. I am probably at the 26K. The trailer is 14,621 dry. Truck is probably 7K. But I digress. You are correct it is a commitment. Nitro

Cool, always glad to get car parts, one of my fav gifts. Nitro

I had 2 this year, the 283 Tri power swap in the C10. And finally getting the wheel chocks, L - Track recess mounted and floor enamel down in the car hauler after 6 years of procrastination (well 3, I was actually out of the country for 3 ) Very happy. The 283 needs redone but no biggie, got a years use out of it. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎23-12-2020

Sajeev Now you see why my parts hauler is a little over spec for the odd box of cookies. 😁 😉

NITRO450EXP · ‎23-12-2020

Guitar74 Merry Christmas to you and your family, Merry Christmas to all on Hagerty. And a Happy New Year. Nitro

Hello Tribe Several years ago, I decided I wanted a toy hauler that could haul the Jeep, or motor cycles and also be my hotel room on wheels. After much searching it became evident toy haulers didn't have the capacity to haul a 4500lb jeep. I then set on the path of looking at car haulers with living quarters. Enter Cargomate in Elkhart IN. I special ordered a 38ft fithwheel trailer with living quarters. It took 10 months to build and grew to 46ft to make space for the onboard 7000 watt generator. We have now used it several times and it is a handy piece of kit. But not for the feint of heart, at 63 feet going down the road and 21,000 lbs of trailer you need to be committed. Great fun, anyone else living the dream.

Today I got a surprise package, from Santa Hagerty. The Foose print I won showed up. The stars aligned and I got the 2 door Cherokee print. I have a 1 owner 2 door 5 spd 4.0 H.O. I6 Cherokee Sport. My first new car purchase, 1994. THANK YOU. Nitro

My dirt road is now mud, all the salt has migrated to the dirt, stopping it from freezing, and turning it to mud, yay. Wish I had some puddles to clean the mud off. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎19-12-2020

That is sad to hear, I finally got mine, and Anami always got back to me. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎18-12-2020

When I added to the workshop, Pole Barn, I aligned the front roof lines, that resulted in a 10x10 door, but a special low clearance track, In Hind sight I should have just done the 12 foot ceiling and than I could have my lift. Live and learn I guess. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎17-12-2020

Why don't you rub some salt in the wound while you're at it. 😉

NITRO450EXP · ‎17-12-2020

Unfortunately for me the snow is on the ground and the SALT trucks have been out already. No driving of anything that you want to keep more than 5 years will take place now. Damn SALT. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎15-12-2020

Good luck, hope you get it.

NITRO450EXP · ‎15-12-2020

I am fortunate, as I have 11 Acres of land, Mostly trees, My current workshop is 36'x64'. I need a larger one, as it is full, 2 classics, 1 tow rig, 2 motorcycles, tools, 1 ATV and 2 daily drivers. We do have land here in USA, that is for sure, and out trees are safe, for now. I like the idea of setting up a full workshop inside a new building, would be nice. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎11-12-2020

Well this is not in a car yet, but that is the final plan. Hoping by next year. Still collecting some parts and making others, but on the home stretch now. I didn't think I needed to elaborate, but I guess there are some that may not actually know what this is, since the thread was boosted cars. This is a GM 4-71 Diesel Blower, with Weber 40DCOE side draft carbs and a BDS (Blower Drive Specialties) Weber to Holly carb Adapter (RARE), with a home made adapter between BDS Adapter and Blower.

Hello tribe. So for Thanksgiving we took a road trip to see Dad. It took us through Laurel MS, Home of a Show on HGTV, "Hometown" a home remodeling show.

Anyone else got any star car sightings and pics ? Nitro

I am thankful for my 1994 Jeep Cherokee 2 Door sport 5 spd. First new car I bought. Made many memories in it. But I miss the Fiero GT I bought from a friend who is no longer with us, miss you Jeff, that car was a constant reminder of the good times, also miss the Golf GTI and 944, lots of fun was had playing the boy racer in those 2. Nitro

NITRO450EXP · ‎19-11-2020

Yes.

I have found my next project. I am not going to be the first or even the only one. But it is exactly what I want. I am going to build the Blazer, GM should have. I will be taking a 1966 Suburban and shortening it to 106" wheelbase and taking about 20" out of the body. I love that body style and want 2 rows of seats. The stance will be pretty close to this. Pic borrowed from google.

Mine get so thick the riding mower chokes, on them, literally. Nitro

Well Tribe As the title says, I spent 2 FULL days raking and mulching leaves. The downside to 1.5 acres of grass surrounded by mature woods. The weather was un-seasonally Gorgeous, pure sun and 70's. The sadder part is I am only 70% done! I did manage to take a motorcycle out for a quick 1 hour burn, man was that perfect. And on the second day took the old Hot Rod '66 C10 out to get ice cream with the Fam. Then disaster on the drive back, the C10 started to knock !!! Looks like a full rebuild of the 283 will be in order, my winter roster just got filled up. Hope everyone had a great weekend and avoided catastrophe . Nitro
