Farm Truck

Thats a great Rat Rod there Gasket.Makes the Beverly Hillbillys rig look like a Cadillac.

Yep and the young couple driving it were REAL country people not trendy city slickers.

As close to a "Rat Rod" as i have ever been - My 466 Horsepower Pontiac 413CID






This car laid down a 167mph "unofficial" record at El Mirage dry lake in June 2012.

Dad's 396 CID "FE" engine in Parnelli Jones winning Torino at the 1968 Riverside 500. Sharp eyes will see Smokey Yunick's black & gold Chevrolet in the background.

That ain't nuthin', man. This is what I drove back in the early '80s in Austin: Beige 1972 Duster with three speed manual shift on the tree, man! Interior was green and brown plaid. I had to fight the chicks off just to open the door to get in!

Here is what I drove, Goldie. 1972 as well.



I always wished I had enough money to make it one of these.



And I really wanted one of these.

@chilipeppermaniac : Wow! Now that is one SHAGGIN' MACHINE! I drove something kind of similar for a year - a Datsun B210.

Goldie, What sucked the most was like I saw in the 510 pictured is the sad occurrence here in the East where road salt is used, RUST. That and having a hit and run driver rear end it in a parking lot eventually led to me being stupid enough to let the rolling chassis go to the crusher. Now even a rusty one of those will fetch $1000 on ebay

First cars ...
I don't have a GOOD photo of mine but check it out behind my bike.
It's a 1948 Ford Mercury, I had it in 1969.

My second car was a Fiat Multipla, I don't have any photo but like this ...
Great little van for a bike rider when you want to take your girl out on a wet night.

The seats could fold into just about any combination.
It spent a lot of time in the double bed configuration ;-)

Cheers, my third car was a 48/215 Holden, commonly but incorrectly called an FX.

Me in mine with the original Gasket looking at camera.



And a 48/218 lifted from the net.

So, we got the farm truck running good and then couldn't shut it off. We had to pull the steering wheel and replace the lock cylinder. While in there, we put in a new cancelling cam for the turn signals. Got a lot of stuff working on the old truck. We just have one A/C hose to replace and Pop will have A/C for the first time in 15 years!!!!
