I remember a young kid named Cassius Clay having the audacity to think he could challenge the Champ. And not understanding why he would later change his name.

Are you a Carnivore?

I consider animals to be creatures that deserve at least as much compassion and respect as living beings as I do, even if they are headed for my table.

Front-end Conversion

Waiting for the Paint and Body Work to be Done

Fordolet Stumbles… Recovers!

Originally, I was going to go with the black powder-coated Edelbrock Performer, but they didn't have the one we wanted in black, so it was the Weiand. It should look pretty good under the 650 Edlebrock Thunder AVS carburetor, and between the Edelbroc

The Fordolet Project Continues

The 351 ended up at the dump, as we couldn't find anyone interested in it, and it was taking up too much space. Pity! A great engine.

Change of Plans
Published on 2011-01-22 21:49:29
The truck is being painted flat black, and all chrome is being converted to black chrome. Haven't decided on the rear end gearing yet. Shaving the doors, converting the hood to a front-tilt, and converted the front suspension to the front end off a Volare for power steering. I'm going to open up the transmission to see how it looks next week. I really hope it's solid, because I HATE rebuilding auto trannies!

What Does the Future Hold for Us?

Initially, the web was a virtual Dodge City… no law, no order, every man for himself. To some, it may have seemed like living in Langtree, Texas, during the reign of the famous “Law West of the Pecos”, Judge Roy Bean.
SEO Turned on Its Ear
