  1. Have or had two. First was also a 1960 - red but previous owner painted it black. I stripped it and painted sky blue. The one I have now is 1962 that has been either my Dad's or twin brothers since 1980. It is still the original sky blue. A picture of them side by side in 80's Sunlight does not do that color justice. it is not washed out like it looks
  2. How are you doing that? Been riding MTB since 99 and never hit knee on handlebar
  3. Hopefully that is all it is. There is an injury to the lining that usually occurs in car wrecks when the knee hits something like the dash. I had it happen in a marathon when the kneecap decided to take out everything nearby. Had to have all the scar tissue removed via surgery and not with a scope.
  4. Some related background info on it http://www.golfwrx.com/607310/golfwrx-exclusive-the-story-behind-the-new-costco-ks1-putter/?utm_source=Front&utm_medium=Featured_Trending&utm_campaign=GolfWRX_OnSite&utm_content=unused
  5. Old timers were real good at doing that by ear/sound. Definitely a lost art. Exactly how I did the twin SU's. had a piece of tubing stuck in the ear.
  6. I can't imagine how much fun tuning a 6 barrell would be. Never enjoyed helping Dad with the four single barrels on a Corvair and my MGA had twin SU's which were a ton of fun (manual said "turn the adjustment screw until it sounds good")
  7. As long as big hits and names. The name is John Ruud and probably no one remembers him. However anyone who watched the Nebraska/OU game in 78 will forget his hit. Best video I could find has more content - go to 1:20 mark. I literally thought Kelly Phelps was dead on the field. They had one replay where you see his back expand backwards in shape of a helmet. basically Rudd got a 40 yard run and was untouched. Even more crazy was the refs ruling his "forward progress" had stopped before the fumble. Technically correct but a horrible call
  8. Username checks out????
  9. Used to carry multiple sweat bands on long road rides. For some reason my sweat poured only in the right eye but yep it was blinding.
  10. I may be wrong but IIIRC the officials had them move the cart and then the idiots moved it back later.
  11. This is better than the comedy channel
  12. Thanks for the link. I know I can get another brand but I also know that some of the other ones don't work very well. The first one I tried was the OEM Toyota one. Went down Parmer from McNeil to MoPac and pulled over to take it off. Literally thought the hood was going to detach from the shaking it caused.
  13. I remember getting them in mid 80's in Grapevine. Nice restaurant that used to be a house. Just remember going down a street and turning left at Harley dealership.
  14. Before moving I bought a ton of clubs there. Especially when you could pick them up locally. The some doofus decided golfers were a security risk and made locals use UPS to ship trade ins. Once I was in the area and dropped the club off at UPS main site - which is literally across the street from Callaway pre owned. Told em this is probably the shortest delivery you will ever make
  15. look up Tom McMillan - Rhodes scholar and Congressman
  16. Except its for a 2001 4Runner and unobtainable. Got 20 years out of it (10 years and warranty replacement for 10 more) so can't complain - just don't want to have to find another vendor if possible. At some point they quit making them for older vehicles
  17. interesting idea. May have to refinish it anyhow. The contractor who took it off Mom's house stored it in garage and somehow the shellac varnish coat started pealing. No clue why because it is marine varnish but I still may have to strip and stain again.
  18. Acrylic bug deflector on 4Runner has a crack going vertical on the deflector. About 2 inches on the 3 inch height. Any suggestions on a good epoxy or other type glue to keep it from spreading - obviously it must able to flex some while driving.
  19. Wooden front door on my house is fine. However Mom sold her house when she moved into retirment community and new owner is pretty much renovating everything so her old front door is now in my garage. It's about 60 years old and 200 pounds of old oak. She paid several hundred 30 years ago and then had it custom made so no matter what I have - it's an upgrade and it keeps it in the family. Problem is the height. My current one is 80 and this one is 79.25. How much of an issue am I getting in here. I have a general contractor doing some other work and I hope we can find a way to make it fit for obvious reasons. Is it easier to just raise the entrance threshold or should I try to lower the top threshold. Or just screw it and build a whole new frame?
  20. I do like that lots of other 70's colors. Wish they brought more back. Some options, however should stay in 70's. Good friend I ran track with had his Dad's flaming yellow Cuda with the flower power mod top. No way to claim what ever you were caught doing was someone else in the same car. Probably only one of that option in entire state
  21. Not to show my age but in the late 70's I remember seeing newspaper ads for 65-67 Mustangs - average about 500 bucks. Always wondered what the details were - wondering if any had a 390 at that price or just 6 cylinders and the "economy 289"
  22. had that happen back in the late 80's with mercruiser I/O. Had just finished a ski run and a buddy that was driving said "engines making a funny sound". Bearings were just toast somewhere in lower unit
  23. It has - late 80's mail bomb killed Judge Vance in Birmingham
  24. A couple of years I learned one of the automotive WTH's. The Amphicar - which was an pretty cool project - make a car that runs on land and on water. Guess who they chose for electronics - yep Lucas. Nothing wrong with electricity and water.. Also heard LBJ had one on his ranch and would scare by flying down a hill toward a lake yelling No Brakes and then plow into the water. In college my MGA with Lucas decided it was time to try and light the car on fire at lunch. Arced the starter switch which was a big box in engine compartment. The equivalent of arc welding until the battery ran down. Melted part of wiring harness - had to patch it and crank start the car until a new switch arrived.
  25. Yep - Lucas company motto - be home before dark...
