  1. are you talking about the picture of fowchee with a ratface?
  2. i am also a firm believer of do it rite and you will only have to do it once. when running the body shop, i would tell potential customers there is only 2 ways to do things, the rite way and the wrong way. good repairs are very rarely cheap, and cheap repairs are very rarely good. we only do things the rite way, and that is not the cheap way.
  3. Welcome to BMT Daniel!!! that old girl looks to be in decent shape!!
  4. Bob, i had no idea what it was either. ....but google is out friend on these matters.
  5. this is a Mack truck site. for questions about that car, you would be better off asking in a European car forum, as they are sold over there not here in the United States.
  6. 20 in my mind, 70 on the calendar. but there are times my body reminds me it is closer to 170.
  7. yes, you CAN kill them. you just have to know how to properly dispose of a body where you will not get caught, and it can never be found.
  8. Ford was in 64 with the introduction of the "green dot" C-4 trans. GM was around the same time.
  9. Make sure tu check the oil for gas contaminaion!!
  10. i was talking to a younger "mechanic" a few years ago about tow/push starting cars with auto trans. he said no way, cant be done!!! he just so happened to have a 59 Pontiac Catalina as a daily driver. so i challenged him. "take the battery out, and have your wrecker driver push us up to 35 MPH." they both accepted the challenge. at 35, i told him to turn the key to run, and drop the trans from neutral to drive. he was amazed when the engine started. back then, the auto trans had a live pump connected to the output shaft of the trans unlike cars today with the pump connected to the input shaft of the trans.
  11. interesting to see your 90's still use our 86 and older dash.
  12. is that a Winfall school crossing guard??
  13. i would not be surprised one bit if the mounting hardware manufacture was outsourced to a grade school in china. they have no concerns about child labor laws or quality control.
  14. yes he is..... in his dreams, in between episodes of soap operas...🤣
  15. oh i remember them, just as Beacon Logistics, not Beacon Fast Freight. as i said, they are now in Woodbridge NJ, not Kearney
  16. thursday diesel was $6.39.9 in static island. only put $25 worth in the F350 to get back into jersey, where it was $1 per gallon cheaper
  17. dont remember beacon fast freight in kearny, but there is a beacon logistics in woodbridge nj. could be the same company.
  18. ask, and yee shall receive...... from the interwebs
  19. no pictures because i forgot to take them....but saturday for lunch at the Old Bridge Raceway Park spring swap meet we had 50 cherrystone clams cooked on the grill.....for two people.
  20. i bet watching soap operas has a lot to do with it!! 🤣
  21. i have been driving trucks for 57 years now. a=but i think i have only "worked" less than 20 days. i dont go to work. i go for a ride in the country, burn expensive fuel, put miles on new trucks, and piss off people behind me by driving 5-10 MPH under the posted speed limit in the right lane.
  22. happy burfday form joisey joseph!!
  23. back in 81-82 i was helping a friend who owned a landscape supply company. his u model tractor had an air start(the truck i was driving when i broke my neck). i got to a nursery to pick up a load of trees just as lunch started. 1/2 hour later the owner came out and told me t fire the truck up, as the guys were 35 minutes into their 30 minute lunch break. i have never seen a bunch of sleeping Mexicans jump so high when i hit the starter! the owner laughed.
