Also, AT Overland used to sell Flippacs. So basically an aluminum version that sticks out behind your truck at forehead height.

New from the factory between 4-5 grand.

So for 2-3X the price of a Flippac, what am I getting?

Another of my favorite builds was Paul Lamars Firebird:

I prefer the ‘78 442

Sadly, true. How about an Aztec or Trans Sport?

How about this?

BFD - we can even do this in Cali...

I’ve been corrected - she had a 1980 Camaro. I do remember the V6.

Yeah, I thought so - still with her - 35 years and counting.

My wife had a ‘79 when we started dating in 1981. The only pic I have is of her driving. Obviously I was more interested in her than the car..... Note the T-tops, sheepskin seat covers and period hair and glasses. The V6 pushing that much poorly suspended weight didn’t translate into stellar performance.

I’ve always been interested in the water tunnels for flow visualization.

“And we aren’t getting it.”

Ford in E-Type was pure blasphemy - especially when the subframe was cut and welded for the exhaust.

In a previous life before grad school I was a chemist in the liquor industry. one of my duties was QC of 45,000 gal of booze bottled daily. Of course smell and taste tests were required. Training allowed me to distinguish not only different boozes but also which distillery the product came from. Samples were sent to…

The proximity of the affected parts creates that illusion....

Very nice, however the model approaches the metric of the head shall remain larger than the implants.

TIL - didn’t know that - Thanx

I’ve always been intrigued by the Soviet methods of snow removal. Has anyone seen a vid of this contraption?

Isn’t there an app for that?
