Removing broken pipe thread from fitting.

 

Okay, I may be admitting to a wee bit of ignorance here, but I don't understand this. It appears to be a view of the bottom of a vehicle, looking up as the vehicle is lifted up on a rack. What am I not seeing?

 

It's a sleeper.

Twin turbos with full exhaust tucked up under the car. Even with the hood open, nobody would suspect. Old guys build cars like this to mess with kids in "fast" cars.

 

I wouldn't want to drive it through a long deep water puddle, or mud!

 

It's a cool weather cruiser. Not an all weather commuter car. It's a Friday night parking lot prowler.

 

Did you see the bottom of that car ,,, it looked to be as clean as the top would be.
I'd say that fella just brings that car out on sunny spring days .

 

Here's another one that caught my eye. That big black alternator with the fins on the back is waterproof and rated at 60 amps. (I wonder how many thousands of those I rebuilt? The scars on my hands have faded, but I know how they got there, and those fins played a large part in it.) The polished silver one above it isn't waterproof, but it's 100 amp or more. Interesting set-up.

 

I spent a whole weekend installing nitrous on the underside of a Weiand aluminum intake manifold. 67 Fairlane 4 door with surface rust and 3 groove street slicks. Oh, 427 tunnel port with a super T-10 and 6:20 gears out back. I always at least made gas money with that car until it got too well known.

 

DANG,,,, ya reckon the Corps is using that contraption these days ,,, that sure could have saved us some time overseas ,,, but ,, then again,, that's just 1 detail taken away ,, that the shitbirds had to do ,,, along with stirring and burning the shit barrel ,,

 

A perfect example of how men and women think completely differently.

 

City girls ,,,,

 

Took me a minute to recognize what I was seeing. The scale of the piece appears large.

 

i saw a conference table at a blasting company,,, like 3" thick 5' wide maybe 12' long.steel, no idea what it weighed.
