You can get that bypass pulley at O'reillys for the same price.
I sent a link of this thread to my friend in Australia so he could see the pictures , but he says the link brings him here, but he can't see the pictures.
Does he have to be a member of the site to see them?

Evening All!

Tomorrow it's back to reality for a while. I have a few jobs to get out this week, AND pull the pyramid apart. High Roller has to be done this week for the open house in two weeks. I still need to get the battery box in Mongo, then put new batteries in there, too. After the hauler is squared away, I can tire the truck down and get it loaded up, ready to go. I have to be up there on Friday, the 28th to set up.

Need help on my summer project.... i need ideas etc help on my mini shop...i will eventually build a bigger barn, garage to keep all my cars and trucks, but this might remain where i work on them for the most part... thinking of enclosing the front end, and having 2 big sliding barn doors in front...and a sliding barn door for the short door out back... lots more led lighting, work benches down one whole wall... lean to on one side using poles as not to put weight on this structure....



Here is a pic of the short door out back...

Here are a couple pics from the hot rod 100. Mostly 1965 and older cars. Meet up and drive 100 miles of back roads then have a picnic.This year was over 200 cars.

Ya need to do that RC It is very cool to see that many old cars driving down a 2 lane blacktop road, instead of sitting someplace at a car show

Larry from KOZL was there for that. He has the Ford wagon. ....'66 (ish) and kind of a pale yellow. I've been wanting to do that for the past couple years, but haven't been able to. Maybe next year if I'm not at a monster truck thing.

Yea Alan I saw the yellow wagon. Be nice if several of us would be able to run together. Not many activities where that many cars get together and drive. I usually drive the 39 ford since it is more road friendly, but if a few others wanted to go I would drive the 55 ford pickup, if I still have it next year.

What up fellers!
We're at 17 day's a less than 12 hours!
Just finished feeding the neck, then off for a beer run. I'm taking advantage of the weather, and have some Hickory wood that I didn't sell, to use up. So there's a couple of day's that the ol' Smoker will be stoked. I'm thinking this is the same smoker that I'm donating to the Shaker Racing Team.
Three stores down, and can't find my Honey Brown that I like having when I'm staying put, and babysitting the smoker.

Unk Bob

Evening all.

Good news is that the wife's car is finally home and looks good with new rubber. It didn't go as it was supposed to and I'm not terribly pleased, but the final cost came out much less than expected so there's that. After another delivery of the wrong parts, they managed to finally free up the cam bolts enough to set the alignment without them (hence lower cost - no new parts). I'm glad its done and hopefully it will stay aligned for a little while. If it goes out again, I'm going to get new lower control arm bushings and cam bolts and change them out myself before taking in for alignment.

At least that was most of the day's excitement and now its time to chill.

Evening All!

Carina, (my 13 year old) did her first car crush today in Earthquake! I took the pyramid apart and stuffed three cars together so she couldn't slip off. She did great! She's really good at driving Earthquake. I can't wait to see what she'll do in a modern truck.
