My AR's yes thats plural, my semi auto Saiga and SPAS 12 gauges, plural again are on the couch armed and ready. Each family member is carrying their sidearms so LOOTERS? Come get some!!! Still got power, lost a tree but went out and pulled it off our fence before it crushed the fence. Getting ready to have a buffalo chicken dip and a Mountain DEW!!! for dinner. A lot of price gouging especially at the Haji convenience stores. Lets hope the law picks up on it after the storm.

Hold my beer......I got this.

Good news at least you are more inland now.

Jim do you need a place to stay? I'm not much better than where you are but I'm stayin' . They have a mandatory evac for Pinellas county by 6 am tomorrow morning. Whatever you choose to do my friend stay safe and be on your guard at all times.

Thats sounds like another road trip for me. Jim you should check out the car shows every Friday and Saturday in Old Town just outside of Orlando. Its like a car show surrounded by a fair, rides, shopping, and uh food. I can imagine that.....I just checked my YELP account. I have 263 restaurant reviews posted there and still growing, lol. Yeah, I'm a foodie.

Thanks for sharing Steve Excellent photography as always sir.

Frosty you got my number there. Not a smoker, not a drinker, not a gambler, but being a foodie is high up there on the list of vices. I wouldn't say a "club" per se as I dont bring my own bib or gold plated silverware but I do enjoy well prepared foods and If I can tie cars? or guns? into it as well its a bonus.

So I gotta work tomorrow on Labor day so the wife and I decide to make Labor day today and take an AMERICAN road trip, in an AMERICAN muscle car, down an AMERICAN farm land highway to eat some delicious AMERICAN BBQ. We are "foodies" so we are always up for an adventure involving a new diner, drive in, or dive. and this place is all those rolled up in one. Hope you all have a safe , relaxing, and enjoyable labor Day weekend. And here's the "Swamp Mafia" 1/2 pound cooked to order burger topped with smoked pulled pork, applewood smoked bacon, sliced Jalepenos, and melted cheddar cheese. Delicious and as American as it can get.

That kinda custom touch can't be found or bought on ANY shelf. That sets you apart from everyone else. Nice touch Steve.

That makes 2 of us.

and a VOE (aka electric cutout) exhaust, maybe a digital hood tach or the HUD?

But do you like it? Would it be something that would stir your emotions enough to consider buying one? Is this the Retro GTO that Bob Lutz should have pushed thru instead of the Austrailian model in 2004?

OH WOW! VERY COOL! and a very cool design. Thank you so very much. I am 'forever" grateful. PM sent JIm, a 3XL if possible? I'm not a fatass but I conceal carry and 3XL "prints" a lot less. Thank you sir for the shirt and a great site.

The fire could have grounded something and be as simple as blowing a fuse. Check ALL fuses and relays.

Good stuff Justa, Ive gotta fix my horns as well. Im also looking to find some 71-72 bullet mirrors both sides for the GOAT. Lemme know if you spot any at the Dream cruise for sale?

I'm your Huckleberry!

Its funny how we collect catastrophic failure trophies. lol I've got spider gears saved with only 3 of the or so teeth remaining on the gears from a 4 gear to a second gear drop in a race against a blown Mustang. I was owning that ass until the rear gave up the ghost. ha ha good times.

Steve you can build positive crankcase pressure and have enough of it to launch a valve cover plug if there is no other way for the crankcase gases to escape the engine thru another purge elsewhere. The crankcase pressure is usually caused by some enivetable blow by the rings. I run an oil cap on drivers side and a breather on the passenger side. I'm pretty sure on some valley pans there is a provision for a PCV valve as well. Jim Butler of Butler Performance will tell you "breathers are for tractor motors" but I'm sure you have to have some type of system to evacuate crankcase gases. When I first bought the Pro Street blown Trans Am, I had a bad issue of pushing oil out of the valve covers and on to the headers at Boost and high RPM's to the point it looked like a mosquito fogger or smoke machine going down the road. I had to run 3/4" hoses from the valve cover breathers on both sides to welded bungs in the collectors of the headers to let the exhaust form a vacuum on those hoses to pull the crankcase pressure from the engine because at boost there is no vacuum to pull the noxious gases from the crankcase.

Nice work Frosty.

X ellent pics, thank you.

great find! Congrats.

latest project. When I buy a car, I like to take it apart and inspect so I know what needs attention and what I can consider done and reliable. I pulled the gas tank to 1. Look for a possible build sheet and 2. check the fuel lines and look for body rust. Well I found plenty of rust between the tank and trunk floor and in the axle tub for lack of a better word. So for 2 weeks I've been sanding/grinding, primering, chassis painting, and then truck bed liner all surfaces including the suspension, floors, torque boxes, shocks, exhaust, axle,frame, and tank , She shouldn't see a speck of rust for a couple of decades hopefully,The truck bed liner only really went on the floor panels above the axle and the underside trunk between the gas tank and the floor above the tank here's some pics.
