 Glad to hear all went well for Jose. Road looks great! Should last 50 if the temp lasted 20.

Yes, the ultimate derail

Congratulations Carl on moving up to the next level of parenting.

It is recommended that you try these wheels on for proper fit and trueness, before you mount the tires.

Nothing better than buying tools. Picked up a boring bit for my milling machine (up to 4" hole ) and just in time ! Hoe is home so fixing a few pins and bushings. Semi retired life= catching up on all my projects.

A boring bit. Has a slider to adjust bore size. Can also use in a drill press.

Too bad, that sure would be a cool car to own...

I've seen a 66 SD hardtop converted with a factory air, my friend did a 67 SD factory air conversion in the 80's but never seen someone do a 64 or 65.

My generator is on a timer that comes on once a week for 15 minutes it did not start we always listen for it I went out to check and I see oil under the unit pull out the dipstick and there is no oil. Refilled with oil and started it up to find the crimp fitting leading to the oil cooler from the oil filter had broken pumping all the oil out luckily these things have an automatic shutdown in the last time it ran it mustve pump the oil out and then shut off.
