    It’s just going to have possibly a small exhaust leak. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Removing Head is the best solution which is a lot of work… Bob

    Yes, it’s amazing what they offer these days, especially sheet metal last I checked you could buy a complete floor with rocker panels for a 55 bel air I expect it’s the same with those… after a lot of years I wish I had kept the 48 1 owner low mileage, 1 ton 9 foot bed Bob.

    We were in there quite a while and the car never moved. It might’ve belong to the bartender or somebody else that worked around there or there was a few small businesses around the bar but yes I do appreciate your two cents as always ha ha good one.

    Frankly, they are both very embarrassing and I am sure most of us have no idea how they got to where they are

    If I were you, I would try to contact that fellow that’s taking up part to be models. One engine is no good. I’m sure you remember him. I am sure he’s going to part out the bad engine. Good luck.

    I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since my dad took me down to his work and 1967 to see the first brand new,U model they bought beacon fast freight. I was only 11 he used to sneak me a board on Friday nights a lot 69 through 73 excellent time for a young boy. Great memories then I owned two of them myself.U and DM but yes, we thought they were a little odd the first few times we saw them bob

    I guess that was my point Bubba, anything that coward could do to avoid taking care of his own people and exposing the railroad to the nation that they don’t give a flying hoot about anybody but themselves and run around with thier heads in thier asses another case of washing their hands to the entire matter…
