One thing I noticed while working on the '87's fuel tanks, there is nothing in the filler necks designed to interfere with someone siphoning gas out of the tanks. We've had some shady neighbors up the hill and have had a number of WTF moments regarding the amount of gas in the truck so I'm off to get locking caps this afternoon.

 

A question for those more knowledgable than i...

It appears that I have lost most of the sealer in the drip rails above the doors on the '87 and water is leaking into the cab when it rains. What would be the best way for a rank amateur to reseal the drip rails? I realize everything has to be cleaned out and the right caulk reapplied, but don't know the technique and product that need to be used.

Thanks!

 

RC I lost velocity wel I got rid of HD damn it I still have speed and spike

 

i was under the impression that speed channel changed its name and it is now velocity channel... what number is speed channel?

 

Dave. Ford used seam sealer. A reasonable replacement for this is windshield urethane sealer. You have to get the primerless kind. It'll seal and never go away again. The stuff is messy and gets everywhere, so buy some lacquer thinner to clean up with.

 

That would suck I thought I had speed lol I have Uverse and I want to say velocity was like 1120 but sd 120 isn't there I wish you could just get the channels you want not all the other bs

 

Heads up folks...Ozarks Antique Auto Club Ozark Antique Auto Club Swap Meet

Who is getting a space or just planning on attending?

 

Rich I would love to go maybe even kermits maiden voyage after I get the motor running this week and find a drive shaft and clutch pedal assembly that's all I have left to drive her. Or I might just bring the beast.

 

We cut the satellite cord a couple of months ago. I got tired of shelling out $120 a month for nothing but crap. The only show I cared for on Velocity was Wheeler Dealers.

I liked MAV TV because of the ANDRA (Australian National Drag Racing Association). At least they showed comp classes as well. They also have much better Pro-Mods (they call them Top Door Slammer) than NHRA does.

Oh wait, that's right. They don't even bother showing NHRA Pro Modified races. It's the same ho-hum Top Fuel Dragster, Top Fuel Funny Car and Prostock. They don't even bother showing Top Fuel Alcohol Dragsters or Funny Cars.

 

Speed became Fox Sports 1. They dropped the car/racing only channel and started having baseball and all the other "Professional Sports" and college sports. Really pissed me off because they cut away from racing to show you boxing. You had to go to one of their other channels (if available) or watch it live on the internet.

 

Dan Raytown? Someone up by me yay

 

Me! If anyone wants to do a gtg I'm in.

 

Dustin you might be able to tag along with brian1080 from St Joe, if he comes south?

Or fordrealdrive is from KC too.

Might be a great time to G2G?

 

rich ray and i usually get a couple of spaces.. but he said he didnt want to do it this year..and i dont think i am up to doing it by myself..but i am sure i will go to look around and see what kinnda junk i can drag home..

had another call on the 65 impala.. they were from up waynesville way, took em 1 1/2 hrs. to get here after i said i would take 450 for the car....so the impala is loaded and gone.. now if i can sell a dozen or so more maybe i can afford to, get the 41 streetrod, 71 f350 and 70 f100 finished.... or at least close to it..ha ha ha ha

 

Ok so the ball is in motion for a FTE G2G, what is the main day to meet up? Sat 22nd or Sunday 23rd (AKA good deal day on what is left over). I am wanting to go Friday the 21st and am on the fence about taking a trailer full of Ford truck stuff....and a certain tube bronco...I might just go all 3 days or at least sat.

The swap meet in Fair Grove a while back was fun, but the effort did not balance out in the $$ dept, and I have projects to fund...
