THE KILLERS?! The Killers spoken here. #1 fav song; "Read my mind" "Change your mind" "For reasons unknown"

1990 Dodge Van 318 EFI (will run carb for now) and '65 Fury pushbutton 727. I might have to move to Washington state soon, so it needs to be under it's own power before I leave. This is the '65 Plymouth FuryI I will use as a donor car. It runs and drives so well, I feel guilty cutting it up.

after a long hiatus; I got some work done on Fugly. Pulled the dead and otherwise useless slant sick out and spent today cleaning the engine compartment with Castrol Superclean. This stuff will eat paint if left on too long! I then scrubbed it with a red Scotch Brite pad and cleaned everything well. I mixed up some Nason Fast-Dry in a Preval sprayer and Viola!

I bought a '71 datsun 521 p/u on a landcruiser frame with a Capri v-6 and 4 speed. it was very rough, you could see where the roof had been replaced TWICE. the plate read "955 FKD" Yup; it really was f@$kED

GM=quality...... I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. MoPaR or no car, baby

I have little talent; but sometimes I can pull something out of my ass that doesn't stink TOO bad.

because I didn't feel it was off-topic? I figured it was in the "General automotive discussion" area

For us who like to draw or photochop pics of our cars. Maybe divide it into drarwing, p.s., photography, and non-automotive. just a thought.......2c

revision.....scanner sucks so the detail has been lost, but.....meh

You owe me.....

Flux core (Gasless) is no good for sheetmetal (I.E. rust epair on panels) Mine is a bitch and it's not clean. Fine for thicker guage stuff

It's not....last time I spoke to Jim, he sounded like he was hacking up hairballs. I will be working out of town all weekend, and it needs to dry out before we can go

I've found a stock '80-'81 sunny A14-A15 plastic fan works wonders in tight spaces

WE didn't get the 4 door until '71 I don't think you need longer studs, just a standard shank 12mm 1.5 mag nut

SEE?! I'M not the ONLY glutton for punishment here!!!!

No such thing as a KE70 in the US

Jim was sick today so I didn't want to bug him..... Just (again) post exactly which parts you need, and just throw up an offer less shipping so I can present it to Jim.

Actulally it's not for me; another friend of mine is gonna stuff his 400hp 400ci. small block shitty into it and make a '60s gasser out of it.

going out there tomorrow to get a '55 Nash Metropolitan, maybe should know by then.

nope; just the cheap way....this truck owes me about $300 in labor.

I dunno......this thing has like 13" drums on it. The misus won't be joining me on any more farm excursions after finding a little critter in her scalp. It has front and rear swaybars as well as 2ton rear springs, I think it will handle well...... BTW; that is a single throat 2bbl stromberg.......absolute shit. It will be replaced with a carter. It will be up and running tomorrow, while Daisy's getting another muffler. I'm not planing on restoring this, just half ass fixing of the floors, fast dry acrylic enamel white paintjob (maybe with a roller) and all NEW BRAKES!!!

pics!

So named because of the dozen or so little f@$kers Kristy had to pick off of me. It's a 1962 DODGE Sweptline D200 3/4 ton longbed pickup. I got this because.......; a) I have always loved the lines of the Sweptline Dodges ('61-'71), b) The B3000 is too light for all the towing I do, c) Kristy and I will be moving to Washinton state in a year or so and the B3000 is WAY too light to pull the cars, moving trailer and assorted bullshit the 2,000 miles. So here it is. It looks as if someone did all the bodywork, put it in primer and junked it. It's been sitting since '92 in my buddy's pasture on rims UNDER the drums. Kristy and I went out there yesterday, put a set of tires on it fired it up after sitting 12 YEARS and tried to drive it. The clutch reservoir was full of ATF hence why I could not get it to pump up. The front wheels were stuck, and it wouldn't run after I hooked up the gas tank line and put gas in it. Why? Line is plugged. So, disgusted by the 4 hours of hard labor (you try removing and reinstalling 64 lugnuts!) AND by all the little bloodsucking vermin crawling on me, we left. TODAY: I borrowed Jim's '74 F250 junkyard dog and pulled it out after soaking my levis in OFF. (Didn't work, they still sought me out.) Got it out to the dirt road and noticed the right rear wheel was stuck as well as the two fronts. Dragged it to the asphalt and it still wouldn't break loose. lowered the truck and rocked it back and forth.....STILL wouldn't break loose! spent 3 HOURS beating on the drum, trying to loosen the star adjuster, trying to remove the hub, all to no avail. Gave up. Spent the next two hours breaking the front adjusters loose, removing the outer bearings and dragging it. I had to raise the truck again and pry the drum from the backing plate, then pry the shoes from the drum. after I got it all apart, I could see a line of silt halfway up the backing plate. The ground must have flooded sometime. So I dropped it, hooked up from the rear and towed it back to town. A mile later, I heard a terrible noise like that of a flat tire or worse, a wheel coming off. I STOPPED right in the middle of the road. Sure enough, the right rear wheel of the Ford had come off. Upon close inspection, there were only 4 out of the 8 nuts on, and now those studs were broken off. I robbed nuts from the other wheels and hoped for the best. Got the whore home and headed for Jim's house only to have the truck die halfway between my house and his.....outta gas. Do I walk home and bug Kristy after telling her this excursion would only take 2 hours and now I'm into hour seven, or walk to Jim's and beg for gas after borrowing his truck. I went to Jim's The half gallon of gas wasn't enough to get it to fire, so I called kristy to come get me. Oh ya, today was Memorial Day.........
