The racks were two-stage powder coat in gun metal grey, then had Line-X mask them off to coat from about 1/4" over the top on the outer side all the way across to the other side, in dark grey. I had my upholstery guy make a tonneau cover out of grey truck tarp material. L.E.D.s with strobes, the list went on.

Sounds like the perfect work truck and what a way to go. Sucks to lose something like that.

No expense spared. It was a 9 year old truck to the insurance co. I showed all my receipts and got a good bit more, but a drop in the bucket still. The paint (cab forward) was a trade work deal, so no receipt there. II also didn't let them have it, and salvaged what I could. Unbelievably, that fiberglass hood had no damage what so ever

Awesome pics. And welcome to the forums.
I'm no flier but I do love looking at WW2 era planes. We toured a flight museum in Pensacola last summer and one at Mobile a few years ago.

My uncle was a Tail Gunner on a B-24 Liberator Bomber. He had some interesting stories.

That's easy to guess. At least 4x anything close to reasonable or sane. That owner put a lot of effort into not making it as nice as it deserves to be

Cooktop is up an running . But the center burner has a crack in it so we capped off the gas to it and removed the knob so it can’t be used . Warranty guy is coming Friday . A lot of people have commented on how bad Samsung service is . But so far it’s been very good .

My buddy and I talked about taking my C10 to BJ after it's finished and joked about how we could get way more than it's worth. Maybe not so funny after all. :metal:

Oh man...it's not so much their support/service...but some of their products. I once paid 3400 for a fridge that had constant problems...after 4 years, I ended up getting a full refund due to a class action law suit (that was won) against them.

You should check out member 7dee2 build thread on his 67 Camaro. He's putting one of these in his "old school" build. Post 385, but the whole thread is great.

I sure do remember those roll bars. I see your Mopar drag car addiction is doing well. Good to see your name. Mount it up. But I hope you never need it

how do you tell everyone you can't drive a standard trans without telling everyone you can't drive a standard trans?

and by the sound and smell when it pulled away, probably not going to last long either :rolleyes:

btw, that's in-n-out across the street, unfortunately not open at 5am :(

It can be nasty, like that looks. On the Chesapeake Bay Bridge last week there was a 30 car pile-up due to dense grey air. I like to keep back enough from the vehicle ahead so I can barely see their tail lights, ready to hit my brakes as soon as their lights brighten up

Now you went and made me remember Fran. She was a cute little daddy's girl I dated summer of '76. She drove a yellow 4spd 440 6-pack 'Cuda (and so did I :D). Talk about a handful! Now, about that car...

Sheepdip 02-01-2024 12:26 PM

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 
A couple of "Cuda" experiences.....Our neighbor next door when I was growing up was 3 years older than I. In 1970 he bought a brand spanking new Cuda 440/6pak/4spd white with a black vinyl top. I was in absolute awe of the acceleration that car had, in other words...yes I lusted for his car. I ran into him several years ago and he told me the car went away after he got married and a baby was on the way, it was all about economics.

Sometime in the mid 90's a local collector car dealer had a low mileage 70 Hemi Cuda/4 spd on his sales floor, orange with a black vinyl top Price was $40k. I knew exactly where the price on this car was headed, no where but up.....way up. 652 Hemi Cudas were built in 1970 with 14 as convertible's which are now in the million dollar range.
I had the first of three children getting ready to start college and it just was not doable...it's all about economics, timing and priorities for us working stiffs.
