smores, yum, have you ever made the pan smores with golden grahams cereal? Those are good stuff. Like a rice krispy treat only they're smores instead.

I think the govt. is planning on running "Donnie & Marie Osmond Show" repeats when the riots break out. The official line is they don't want the children to watch real violence on TV. Fake violence is just fine... 
Hey ol' phart
great thing with the restore car and the daughter..... but I hope it was never your intention to have her drive it on a regular basis. The old cars are great to look at but a danger on the road.... especially to a beginner driver. Just to be safe i throw this out there....
By the way the EPA has already drawn up a plan to ban all of the older cars off the public roads. They will also set their sights on snowmobiles, atv, etc. It will take about 18 months be4 they unvail their plan..... lovely.
out.

Crackerjax-Old cars are not dangerous if restored correctly. I swapped frnt drum brakes out for disc and added power brakes to car. They make things like power steering rack and pinions to fit the older models. I have even seen abs units on 30's cars. Old cars, if done correctly are actually safer because back then, everything was metal-not plastic like today. Sorry car nut here.

My 62 2 door HT has a 500 HP 383, 700R4 and a 411 8.5 10 bolt. I'm still building it. I'm working on the front end now, trying to get all the aftermarket pieces to work. On yours', are the strut rod adjusting nuts frozen, man those are tough. I think I'll need a heat wrench. Sometimes building a hot rod isn't that much fun. There are a few long roofs that run in the 9s, hows yours?

I like my big old truck. It's made of metal with giant metal bumpers on it. Huge beefy tread tires on it. Nobody ever pulls out in front of it either.
It's a timex truck, takes a lickin, keeps on tickin.

Yes, yes, yes..... it is the physics which kills you.
Older cars cannot grip the road as well, they cannot brake as well, they cannot absorb the shock of impact as well. It's not all about weight and material used....don't forget, ur the rag doll in that rigid steel box coming to a all too sudden stop. The odds are against YOU, not the newer car. Of course if we can pick and choose who we collide with (Honda's?), that would help, but from what i have been able to gather, it doesn't work that way

Medicineman- check out CCP- I got the tubular lower control arm kit eliminating strut rods, makes it fully adjustable for alignment. Comes with lockout plates so it wont move and I gain 3" clearance on bottom. 327cid 385 hp th350 8.2 posi 3:73. multileaf springs, dot drags pushin her along. Light car 2800lb-goes 12's more street rod. Would love to post pic but only one around here too suspicious.

Sounds great. I have basically all new suspension parts, stock though except the front discs. I went to a 2 inch drop spindle, but the tires rubbed. I then put new V8 springs, but they still rubbed, so I bought a whole new front brake kit with stock spindles and they still rub, I'm so pissed off that I've quit working on it for the last 6 months. I'm pretty sure I need to burn those strut rods loose or off and replace them, I have 15 inch front wheels and tires on a car designed for 13 inch tires and rims. they look great, but rub the front edge of the wheel well, which a strutrod adjustment would solve. I need to get back into the project. This spring when it warms up probably, at my age, rolling around on a cold concrete floor doesn't seem all that appealing. The computer specs for my car, if it hooks, is low 11s, High 10s. That ought to get the blood going, 120-130 in the quarter in a car designed to go maybe 80-85 top end with the old 6 banger, yehaw!
i bet i will, ...............Sure, go ahead and collide with my Honda Pilot. You will crumple.
i'm selling it and i just got a reply. i'm gonna cry if it goes.
