Quarks? Like, as in dark stars? Dude, you need LT rated tires on that car if you're gonna carry around loads like that.

Is the over-beaten whacker contest still going off?

Way to knock it out! My 65 isn't anywhere near done, and I am not sure if it's going to be before spring. Oh well.

Cool Cool I remember seeing it for sale at one time. It was just more rust than I wanted to tackle. I look forward to seeing what you manage with it!

Ha with the wife gone for the weekend to visit her Mother I am a bachelor for the weekend and working in the garage as much as I want and listening to the Spokane Chiefs win! Installed some blue LED lights to act as dome lights. Currently working on putting heat shielding under my engine lid (squareback) replaced tail light bulbs with LED's so now I have LED's for tail and brake lights. Also have a choice glove box to install tomorrow. Also got some cruising in today after washing the car.

After leaving my mark in Cheap Shots parking lot two weekends ago I figured it was time to do some repairs. Pulled the engine and throw-out bearing to find this, I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that's not how input shaft seals are supposed to fit.

Got the new seal in, adjusted valves, put on some front shocks and an og shifter and cruised the hood by the end of the afternoon, damn I like sunny days.
