Here is a full history/build thread on the car I did on anther forum, car has 9 lives and has used about 6 of them at this point, lol https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ustom.1108431/ The car has pretty much had this custom look since 1959. The original owner worked part time at a body shop and built this car. He had a buddy that then built a similar custom, but its base was a 58 Impala convertible. |

Changed out the broken transfer case shifter fulcrum ball on the Montero. Broke on my wife in the driveway luckily, not out and about. Took longer to pull the console then the four bolts for the shifter. Genuine Mitsubishi $20.00 ball fit fine. Not to much cussing. What I thought was very interesting was all the small broken pieces of the ball ended up in a "well" in the top of the transfer case. Almost as though Mitsubishi knew failure was an option. :lol:

Spent time on and off the ladders between re-siding my shop and inside the shop, waiting for the rain to stop. I'm winning!

I went to a local AACA chapter swap meet at a fairground. First one of the season for Maryland. Mid-40s for the high and windy, 30 mph gusts. I wanted to get a space but not in that wind. I saw a GM SBC aluminum intake but held on to my wallet. He wanted $350, said he'd take $325. If I really wanted it I'd have made an offer. Mostly went to meet up with a friend/fellow member, Jack_71c10, from here I hadn't seen in a while. It was really just a place to walk along and talk. Neither of us really needed anything

EDIT: A few pictures added from the swap meet. Comet was $4,500, '46 Buick was $5k. My dad had a black '49 Torpedoback. I'd love to get one |

This Bug was parked outside. Looks about the same color my '56 was, Mercedes Blue. This one is a '58-'61. I wish mine was a ragtop sunroof. I let mine go because that's what I wished mine was.
EDIT: I see now it's a '58 |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Be nice to have one of those bugz again.

Me too. That '46 Buick is all there. Even the chrome was good and shiny. The Comet appeared to be clean original condition, too, 6cly/auto. Neither had hateful prices for today. I really like that Silver Streak. I have a thing for all GMs of that design era. The post-war integrated body with the old rooflines carried over and first hardtops. I like the long tails as well as the business coupes. I like 'em all. To have one of each top design would be a good size collection in itself

Actually found they used to use Pure Maple Syrup now it’s Pure Natural Syrup so it’s a mix with 45% added sugar. The one on the right is the little bottle I remember |

And a pair of snow tires would turn it into a tank.... That little car could be a real head-scratcher. Not to mention hard to start on cold mornings with only one good cylinder, but that's another story. |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i had a motor built in mine a bit bigger than the one I showed, and I kept it 6v. I put a second battery on the other side in parallel

Yesterday ran the snow blower and snow shovel again. Then cleaned up the side by side and one of my trucks.

I bought new tires and wheels for the 95 Burb. Now it might make it through the snow and go to the cabin.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah. Got some snow drift clearance happening now.

Today I didn't "do' anything on my truck but I bought stuff for it. I got a cherry original hood for the flatbed (bye bye Bondo) and a freshly redone seat that looks spankin brand new. The guy also had a nice original tach dash too. Is $480 too much? I don't really know what they go for. |
