So  Rich where did that single ale A- car come from?

Hi Bob, He bought it from a guy in Waterbury Ct last year. Me, Vic, Dana, Matty, and Shawn took a  Saturday field trip and drove it back. Think his name is John, he sat at our table at last year's spring breakfast. Funny thing was that John's ex girlfriend used to drive my Autocar for Waterbury Petroleum Products pulling a tanker.

Vic sure must have had a long distance towing job because there no palm trees in New England.  Hmmmmm......

It got shipped down early to get loaded with the Manhattan.  Very convenient to have multiple trailers going between Mass and Florida every week. But they did make the trip down old school in a 67 Acar daycab . I would probably break down before I hit Ct. Herb can hop in anything and go anywhere and not have a problem. 

Ran like a top all the way to west palm from Weymouth Jim

Nice to see that you are back

very sorry for your loss

Yeah, $25 I gave the girl that brought the pizza, and I only ate half of it. 

I went to a pizza hut all you could eat lunch buffet.  All I  could eat was one slice

Me too, that's where I was hoping to get to. I've passed by before but never stopped, but this time I was gonna do it. I made it to the 66 mile marker in Tn. Friday night, and Amarillo looked doable on the map, but the seam in the atlas must have thrown off my eye-balling calculations. I ran 731 miles Saturday and was still an hour away. I could have gotten there Monday night, but it would have been about 9:30 pm and I was hot and tired and needed a shower so I just stopped in Tucumcari. Went to a Quality Inn there and there was no restaurant close by. I ended up calling Pizza Hut delivery, got a thin medium pizza and a bottle of water-$21 and some change! Ain't this a bitch again!.. way out here and instead of getting a nice steak for that kind of money, I get a Pizza Hut pizza like you can get anywhere.

When it comes to Pizza Hut I'd rather eat the box it came in than the pizza. Sorry to hear of your unfortunate dinner event.

Always wanted to go to the Big Texan. My kid went for a roadtrip from Boston to Phoenix with his friend and texted me a photo of his steak at the Big Texan. 

Rotten kid.........

I'll be there  Sunday Bob

2 buffets here and then Sunday 

I am a P I G pig

Putting it away looks like folding a map.

Didn't get a chance to look too close underneath them as my wife was waiting in the car. Yeah I was happy that they didn't do anything irreversible to the EF

Yup, business trip to Vegas for the sign trade show to see my customers. Work work work.

Plus the marathon is the most boring thing I can think of.

Used to see a lot more of them 15 -20 years ago. When I first met Merk (R model Mack pickup truck that's at Macungie every year ) he had 3 of them lined up out back in Shrewsbury Ma. They are long gone now. I don't think the Wayroc truck got driven much they said it was like having concrete tires it rode so hard

I think that Barrington show was about the only onehe ever took it to. Walter Balchunas, an old truck mechanic friend of mine next door to my old shop did the mechanical work on that when it was being restored.

Wow I didn't realize Wayne sold that truck. It was parked in a garage 3 miles down the street from my house. It was the only C model I've ever sat in, didn't get to drive it though.

My dad was the milkman fir a couple of years in the mid sixties. He went back to building houses and from the Divco to an Autocar dump.

I used to drive by the Divco dealer (Whittemore Truck Sales Brockton Ma) twice a day going to and from work in the early eighties. They still had a bunch of used ones there for sale and ones being repaired.

Went to our son and daughter in law''s house Saturday and noticed they had a milk box by the garage door, home milk delivery alive still.

My first car was a 65 impala 230 straight six with a powerglide slow as hell but I loved that car. Wish it had that hood ornament.

Had an 04 Impala too, real good car keep an eye on the coolant level they almost always need intake gaskets by 100k.

Doctors could use that photo to induce vomiting

Nice Rich on all counts.  That door repair-is the piece just laid over rusted area or did you cut old area out?  Sorry you missed Sat-usual good crowd.

Actually both, cut all the rust out but didn't want to do 5-6 little patches so put some rust reformer stuff on and welded an overlay on. Hard to tell from the photos but that door has a pretty thick skim coat of bondo on it from a previous paint job, overlaying brought the metal closer to the same level as the rest of the door. I was planning on being there yesterday but the others guys couldn't go and I haven't got much done lately, hoping to get the fenders on this week.

Got a few more small things done, interior lights, front shocks, patched the passenger door and made and installed kickpanels with speakers. I need to get under the dash and finish tying the wiring harness up. I got some gas struts off amazon for the hood. I held the randomly ordered mounting bracket up to the Mack bracket that was on the hood and THE HOLES MATCHED UP PERFECTLY! The pistons worked out great, they don't push the hood up when it's closed and holds it up just right. Found some time to relocate the toolboxes on the new crane truck from on top to under the body.

Fired up the vinyl plotter yesterday and put some lettering on it. One of these days I'm going to learn how to hand letter and stripe.

NH 250 was non turbo and did not have external injector lines, just a line to the front head and a return from the rear.
