Re: Suburban, "Bring a Trailer", 1 March 2018

I wonder why you need the trailer, get a spare tire and drive it home.

One plate is for me, others for customers. My sign does have holes in it, this sign is for John Q.
New allotment of project timers.

Re: Cast iron A-466 to A-727 conversion Forward Look 56 to 61

Ordered more performance flex plates, for 727 and 518 automatic transmissions. Still getting the side eye from some of my neighbors, that think I am working on 'nerve gas generators' .

Re: Ride height

Okay, Eaton springs have many different springs available, with rounded spring ends. I over-extend them with a Jack shove in a wooden shim and cut off the round ends if the customer wants the total original look. Rick

Re: Hot August Nights 2021

Yes, HOT but low humidity. You will see everything, you can imagine. Too many tri five chebies. We stayed in Falon 50 miles away and later have been staying in Sparks with a group of street rod clubs. Cruised Lake Tahoe, Virginia City, Carson City, Donner Pass and several mining towns.
