I don't know Pat, "shopping" and Kearney, NE just don't seem to go together! I guess that would be good for our wallets!

My wife is slightly interested in the old-car thing, but I'm thinking her ultimate motive might be to keep me from doing something she perceives as dumb, like buying another old vehicle...

Hahaa.. Yeah, I can see how she'd be concerned! I'm not even mentioning to Connie that I might search for some parts for the 67!!

I have to go over tonight, and finish up the tune on the Mustang. Monday, it goes into the exhaust shop. It has a hole in the muffler, so it sounds like a cross between a Mustang and a Volkswagon beetle! We're going to go ahead and put dual exhuast on it. Just have to shine it up, throw it on the trailer, and we're good to go!

Cool Pat, a "beetle-stang"! That might win you a prize at a car show!

Bet it will sound nice with duals on it...

It has this really weird sound at idle.. that's about the best way to describe it! We want to keep it mostly stock, but we're putting on thrush turbo mufflers, to give it a little growl. Should sound nice!

Hey all - Got the last coat of paint on the front porch so all I have to get done before the big BBQ is sand the back porch, a little more paint scraping and then I can get to work on the vehicles. Have to get the convertible, truck, vette, and caddy detailed. Damn that sounds like a lot! Bought 12 gallons of racing fuel for the Truck to burn on cruise nite. That should make it run nice!
