What you coming to Slowcala for? Stop by 75 Chrome Shop, buy some goodies

In the early 70's I ran (blew it up alot)an Alcolhol Funny car for Marinos Italian Ices. Parked it in 1974,picked a lot of 30% of the stuff of it. I've donated / traded it to Don Garlits Museum as it is still mostly in as raced trim from 1973. I'll stop by, my R could use some goodies... Paul

Looking at your pic, looks like it is caused by side scuffing or blunt impact, usually means the belt(s) split for want of a better word. Probbly the age of the tire added to it. Me, I'd look inside the casing and see if its split there to, if not I personally would run them but keep a close eye on them. Paul

Took them back and bought Hastings, I don't need any problems down and back to Ocala. Paul

oool. Paul

i hope that everything is o.k. with his family. if it is there are 2 more posible explanations 1 he is hiding from momma after talking in his sleep and telling his plan to save as many R model trucks as possible. 2 he is in the woods hunting for a new bear since a guy in texas borrowed the other one and flat out refuses to return her to him.

There is a third possibilty............. When his story of" "The Resurection of the R model" left off last week , our man was deeply enrapted in fiberglassing the hood. Mean while the intreped shop boy...Mimi Mack was welding the roof, jealously eyeing the bosses fiberglass work....... Could our hero be fiberglassed to the R nose or worse to a volvo?? Tune in next week for more of the new adventures of Reserrection R......

I started buying wire from these people to do my AC's harness. Got OEM style connecters and instrument panel light sockets too. Paul

My first impression is, that it looks like shit on a white duck

It is a homely looking thing ain't it! Paul

Latest satelite images show him crossing a corn field with a few jugs of fuel..........

Hope all is okay with his daughter and grand daughter. Paul

You can do a voltage drop test and check the amp draw on it, probbly cheaper to replace. seeing as it is an intermitant problem you'll have to be prepared to do it when it happens. BUT I personally would take a close look at the electrical switch connector on the key switch, since the Shut down and Malfunction lights act oddly at times. A "soft contact" or a over loaded connection could also cause it to act that way.

These pics were taken at the Freightliner plant in Cleveland North Carolina. We build these and ship them to I assume Europe or Austrailia seeing it's Right Hand Drive. Paul

Saw photo spread in Hot Rod of that engine all crammed into a early pete or KW cab with a long custom chassis. Paul

Went to get all new filters for my R today at Gabrielli Mack ($$$), because my local Napa had none. Seems to be a recall on the Napa Commercial filters that are / were made by Fram. I was told the bypass valve springs sent by the supplier were weak and causing the oil not to be filtered. This causes unfiltered oil to continuesly by run through the system. I thought the bypass valve was in the filter adapter on the block and that the filters themselves only had an Anti Drainback valve. I always though that Wix or AC made Napas filters to their spec. I've always though FRAM filters were a quality product. Went to FRAMs web site and only found a caution on defective gaskets on a few foreign car filters, called their tech line and got what seemed to be double talk. Any body hear or have problems with either brand? Paul

It matches the make believe "Silver Anniversary" vette he has for sale also. A lot of put together crapola. Paul

Mine was quick and painless. Paul

Didn't the White house start/ support Acorn?

No reply til I test it.

You know they want these cars so they can be green with less pollution. Well what happens when you plug in for a recharge? I'm sure the energy consumption varies, but currently they draw alot, like running a a/c unit. So now we have green cars recharging at a rate of running your a/c, maybe with your a/c on too. My question is how clean is the wood or coal burning power plants that are being overloaded with electric rats?

Well according to Al Gore and the White House there is no polution they are 100% clean.......unless the Electron Faries fart. Nobody realizes the the energy to build them, charge them and recycle the batteries causes more polution than a conventional car or truck. LNG seems the best alternative to me. Paul

The mud on it reminds me of the Charles Atlas bully at the beach ad. That 50 year old Mack kick mud all on you? Paul

Can't think...................

Only not here...but They're considered created or saved jobs.

The U.S. Department of Energy is defending its $529 million loan to a startup electric car company that will be building its first line of vehicles in Finland.

ABC News reported Thursday that Fisker Automotive had decided to outsource the job of assembling its new electric Karma sports car in the Nordic nation. Its reason for choosing Finland, the company's CEO said, was that the U.S. lacked facilities and workers capable of doing the work.

"There was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle," Henrik Fisker ABC News. "They don't exist here."

Vice President Joe Biden had touted the loan to the company as bringing new manufacturing jobs to Americans. Instead, about 500 jobs will go to a Finish company called Valmet Automotive.

Fisker insisted that the U.S. loan had been spent on engineering and design work that was done in the United States.

An Energy Department spokesman reiterated that in a written statement to Fox News.

"The Department's funding was only used for the U.S. operations," spokesman Dan Leistikow said. "The money could not be spent on overseas operations. The Karma also relies on an extensive network of hundreds of suppliers in more than a dozen countries world wide."

News of the Fisker outsourcing comes as the Obama administration faces increasing criticism over the Energy Department's $535 million loan to solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, which has since gone bankrupt. The FBI and a congressional committee have launched investigations into the company's collapse amid questions about how the Energy Department allocates funds in its program to encourage green energy.
