I have a generator too, runs my entire cabin, but we don't have a well and haul our water. Here at the home, the generator is not big enough to run the whole house.

Electric bills are out of control now. Add a car or two that need to be charged daily. See you added the info from my buddy in FLA that we discussed before as he owns a junkyard. He has a stack already of battery's that have no place to go. He will NOT accept another electric car. Accidents and related fires and battery acid problems have our 1st responders scared as there is no good way to clean up/contain problems after an accident. What also is not mentioned Frosty, is the power grid that was never imagined to handle what we use now. Is each power station to have its own windmill???? Want a good laugh? Recycle windmill blades. There is no way to cost effectively recycle for these blades that are a city block long. What happens when the unthinkable happens and the grid goes down? At my house that includes the well. A taste of this for a few hours or even a day or two is enough to scare the hell outta you, on how much we depend on such a fragile system. Kiwi....need some tips on water collection/storage.

From what we can see, it's in pretty good shape. Jewelry box looks great! (engine compartment) Red Bird on the hood N black interior. Don't see that much, but I like it. Welcome to FP. Chat it up with us in the forum. More pic's are always welcome round here.

Glad it was something simple for ya. Enjoy that Pontiac!

Justa because it's cool.

Jessica, The way it shut down and the steering went out, sounds like your serpentine belt broke. This would also kill your alternator and run your battery down. Dead battery would make the clicking noise when trying to start. Bet it was running hot too. Hope you have someone that can replace the belt for ya and jumpstart the car. Good Luck N welcome to the site.

Nice lot of cars there. Welcome to FP. We will even let the Chevy guy check out the site!

Amazing bird, welcome to the site.

Nice job! Your additions blend right in.

Just watched Freiberger rebuild one yesterday on Motortrend. He only used RTV and was not copper. BUT .... His engines usually last the duration of his 1 hr show.

SOOO sweet it's makin my teeth hurt!!!!!

Don't think he is smart enough to call him a MORON. Same guy that rolled his car on it's side when he saw the GTO coming.

AC Delco runs best in my 421. Champion.....not so much. NKG???? Fine for my Jap dirt bikes, snowmobiles, never ran one in a car. Champion seems to run best in my small engines. Go figure. Very interested in E3 plugs. Believe they are made in FLA. Have heard great things about them but they are pricey.

Welcome to the site. Nice lookin Bird!

Fab'ed my shroud and painted black to make it a LIL less noticeable that it wasn't stock. Used the heavy roof flashing from a roofing/siding shop. Already black or any number of colors you could want for the project. Also bought enough to do the bottom of my hood, made my tunnel to drop over the carbs and used foam to channel the air to the carbs, cut out the fake blockers making the hood scoop functional and breathing cool air instead of the hot mess under hood before getting the heat problem solved. Your eye candy (motor) will command the attention under hood and most don't even look at the fan shroud.

Thought it was JUSTA me N my Ol Skool ways. Thankz for the backup LastIndian. Obviously elect fans have come a long way, esp with FWD cars over the years and comes down to users choice for your pride N joy.

Impressive.....Welcome to FP. Chat it up with us in the forum.

Pretty much exactly what I did with the GTO. Water pump plate must be checked for cavitation as well.

Simply amazing. Awesome job!
