  1. This entire big slip daddy routine gives me the runs. It only takes a minute to find the lyrics on line. at least half a dozen sites clearly say, "pink slip daddy". Until only recently i never heard of a "big slip daddy". In the 60s we called hem "Posis", not some silly made up term from a misheard lyric. This was SoCal surf, car culture music, not opera. Brian Wilson and the boys probably sat around, smoking some weed and tried to find words and phrases that fit and sounded cool. They weren't hot rodders or surfers, just musicians trying to sell their product Yes, a pink slip is what we Californians call the title, ironically enough because it is pink. Black plates, yellow plates don't mean dick. Just a made up status symbol like YOM plates. Excuse me while I kiss this guy
  2. I ordered every part to rebuild the front end on my 95 Dodge Ram. Every part was genuine Moog
  3. I have a couple of old spray can lids filled with toilet bowl wax that I have used for years to lubricate screws and have never had a problem with staining. Is wax really hygroscopic?? It has been used for centuries to prevent inclusion of water and air
  4. I had one on my old bug. I never needed it but it worked just fine
  5. It may have passed to his son Pete who often shows up at events in oCal in a Stevens
  6. Studies have shown that 87.48% of statistics are false
  7. Cabriolet. The Fun Girls. "Hello Doll, Hello Bernie."
  8. People on this site usually do not "upgrade" their cars. The focus of the AACA is preserving and restoring old cars. The basic engine was produced until the late 50s maybe later for forklifts, welding machines and other industrial uses. The country is littered with them so finding a good one is pretty easy. As to an automatic trans, that's another kettle of fish
  9. Stan and Ollie did the jack gag in 1929 in "Perfect Day"
  10. Always loved the Spirit of Motion Graham. This one is a beaut. I think Amos Northup would approve
  11. To my untrained eye, it looks like it was made last week in India
  12. About 20 years ago I was at the fathers day roadster show and I watched the guy from Sunchaser Tools straighten a fender that was badly damaged \. bit of hammer and dolly work and a session with his shrinking disc the fender was almost like new
  13. I doubt it. The Black Widows had steel fenders
  14. Anything is possible. How much time and money do you have? What is the reason that you want a four speed?
  15. The Chevy truck hoods of that era were, thoughtfully, provided with a factory designed weak spot.. in the hoods. If you failed to lube the hinges frequently you would soon face disappointment and frustration. I did
  16. Some guys that I worked with, saved "Marlboro Miles" to send off for cheesy products like ball caps and windbreakers. I asked, "How many "miles" do you need to get one of those little oxygen bottles with wheels"?
  17. Yes, but my hat covers it quite nicely
  18. Simplex Servicycles were still fairly abundant when I was a kid. We soon learned that they were not very durable as we thrashed them at full throttle.The mighty two stroke, one main bearing engine tended to eat itself. More than a few ended up with a lawnmower engine crudely transplanted
  19. Won't the funeral home miss the tranny?
