That's how gov't allotment works down here, too. They scramble to spend surplus money once the final quarter comes up, once the bulk of the year is behind with surplus funds left. What shape was the old roof in? Could be they know a building is only as good as it's roof and, although they closed the school, they want to save the building for other purposes or to sell.
They want to close down the elementary school in the town my mom lives in due to shrinking student body. I remember when they built that school. There are only two jr/sr high schools in that county. I guess the elementary school kids will get used to a long bus ride before jr. high |

I have this random poster in my hallway. A guy that I knew was the singer. He died at 39 of brain cancer. Too bad. He was a nice guy.

ST tires are typically rated for 65mph hence reduced trailer towing speed limits in most states.. trailer bearings, brakes, suspension, and couplings are also not designed for high speeds.. load stability and weight distribution, wind and weather, etc. are also major factors far safe towing speed.. see those guys in the ditch all the time, usually the median after going too fast in left lanes.. brought this big fella down through the mountains from Ojai few years ago slow and steady no trouble at all :) https://dl.dropbox.com/s/82jvcx19w15...49516.jpg?dl=0 |

Attachment 2221982Attachment 2221983Attachment 2221984 is actually 3 roofs on this job. you can see the old roof on this one section we hadn't got done yet- is not really that bad of shape, some maintenance and prob could have easily got some more life out of it. Attachment 2221985 Quote:
as the trailer is insured as commercial, it goes for an annual inspection, which was just last aug, at which time some new Carlisle TrailRated HD tires went on it. the Carlisle's are rated for 81 mph. sure, we were over the limit, but new tires, 3 weeks out and a burning desire to get home to see my wife, kid and dawgs meant the hay with it...lol |

Heritage is easy to preserve. It's the buildings that take work :cool:

Raining so I pulled an old Hershey sale box my Dad had tucked away . 72 Ford t bird gran torino rear side markers , 65 mustang bumper guards 70 -74 AMX /Javalin rear side marker also fits Avanti II ,62 ford Galaxy 500 backup light kit . Also in the box was a red plate 55 amp Alternator for my AMX . All NOS need to get an idea of what the ford stuff is worth and a place to sell them .
There was also NOS MB 280SL rotors and calipers still in the box’s . Dad must have bought them when he had the 250 and 280 SLs |
Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Out of curiosity what is the AMC marker light worth? I need some for my 70 Javelin and I've been wondering how much they were going to set me back..

AMC and Studebaker parts and cars used to be cheap no longer the case . I have some group 19 parts that are impossible to find nowadays. |

I do get the group 19 stuff being expensive and hard to find. It wasn't that common back in the day and factory high performance parts always commands a premium. |
Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
When I go to my other house I'll look to see what I have . Might have a couple of amber and red used .

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
^ That's some pretty stupid stuff to do. I worked on a space program years ago where we had bullet-resistant shielding surrounding some REALLY high dollar hardware, and discovered a bullet hole through-and-through in the shipping truck. It obviously happened after delivery, on the return trip. It wouldn't surprise me that some dumb bass would shoot at something, though. With the new tech that locates gun shot sources, hopefully those yahoos get busted, and have to work for the rest of their lives paying for the damage.
