And BTW, The 3 bars and 2 resteraunts are 1 block away. Pet Boarding across the Street. 2 junque stores 1/2 block

Lamar I haven't posted the videos yet. Rob Quote. "Please confirm that Jewitt has the following tourist amenities: 1) a library 2) a tanning salon and 3) a bar? Oh yeah, and 4) a 24-hour SPAM-O-Mart. If so, we'll be there New Years Day, arriving at the Jewitt International Airport - a hotel limo would be nice." Unquote Library - Yes Tanning Salon - Yes But most just get Freezer burn here in January Bar Yes (3) plus my private garage fare. with drink umbrellas Spam o Mart Yes open till 7:00 PM Jewell International -Yes - grass runway, single engine only, watch out for the chickens Hotel Limo - Yes - I'll put the "Stock Racks" up on the Chevy Pickup. If you don't know what "Stock Racks" are well you'll need to come to Jewell Rob It's JEWELL not JEWITT That is a interesting Concept. A "Classic Car Theme Bed & Breakfast". We could put in a Hot Tub in wash Bay. The Hoist still works, we could install the Bed there. Which brings to mind the line in "Young Frankenstein" ...."Elevate me...." "YES IT COULD WORK....." And yes we do the same thing twice a year for our Birthdays. Road Trip for Junquing.

A bit off topic Lamar but here is a link to our Gas Station Promise to serve SPAM at the Ribbon cutting click here;; Home

Just 2 blocks from where we live is the Phillips 66 station where I used to hang out in High School. It was cleared by the DNR of the underground tank removal several years ago. No more gas sales. The last owner used it for a HVAC business till he hit hard times. So I presented the project to the Former 1st Lady and she agreed that instead of dumpng thousands into another car restoration we should restore it. We are not where we want it to be yet, but we have cleaned it and sandblasted the exterior along with new exterior paint. Now have a renter and will continue the restoration. It was built in 1953 same as me. and yes we had a semi-grand opening and served my famous "Boneless Hot Chicken Thighs" less the SPAM The bathroom tile is original turquoise and pink in near perfect condition We love keeping the flame going of the past. It is actually a great location next to the Post Office where everyone in town stops everyday. Check the progress at Home BTW where did you get that gorgeous Phillips 66 sign?????

MMMMMMMM!!!! SPAM PIE with Dead Snake Sauce. Drool Drool I forgot all about making my Holiday Spam Pie yesterday. Oh well Christmas is still coming. Tonight it's Sardines........in Mustard sauce.......of course:)

Well this seems like a simple project, but when you look at car back seats they are not uniformly squared off. I took off work yesterday for a theraputicle walk through a junk yard. Nothin' like a crisp sunny fall day in a junk yard. I found a 58 SUPER and pulled the back seat (which was not easy) only to find the springs were wrotted. So I turned my sights on 3rd row van seats and today found a new one for $125. which I will survey tommorrow.

Now that should bring a comment from Lamar:rolleyes:. Any body have a good back seat from a 60's Buick or BPOC. I just need a good frame/springs. Would be nice if it had material on it to use for a pattern Building a Sofa for the garage with spare tail lights from my 63. Surprizing how hard it is to locate one. They've all been crushed.

From your friends over at the Buick Forum... Happy Birthday. And a tip of the hat to Louis Chevrolet, Billy Durant and Harley Earl.

To our cousins in GM. I believe today is the day. Over 200 million Chevys and getting back on track. In commemeration I just bought a 62 Corvair window van.

4. Do not install a remote start kit on a pickup with manual transmission that does not have a neutral safety switch. Addendum B.. Do not bypass the clutch safety switch or wrap a zip tie to activate it. Addendum C... Do not leave transmission parked in "granny low". Quote wife; " Your truck is driving down the street........by itself" Story to be told at the next National.

1. You don't pull on Superman's cape:eek: 2. You don't check the level of a battery by holding a match over the battery. KAPOP!!!!:eek::eek: circa 1969. Checking over my 63 Merc Meteor in a friends heated pig barn. A friend with a heated pig barn in the middle of a cold Iowa winter is a "good friend indeed". 3. You don't use Brake Cleaner to check for engine oil leaks with a hot , running 63 nailhead:eek::eek::eek:. I am not smart enough to accept the advise of a very wise man who told me it was a Valley Pan gasket. So when trying to find the leak I shot some Brake Clean on the oily spot near the Distributer and WHHHOOOOFFF! A quick eye brow trim. I now hold the Jewell School Record (hoping to finally get that diploma next year)for the 40 Yard Dash (in just 4 giant leaps) from the driveway to the garage for the fire extinguisher.

I can only speak for John Deere. You can buy most parts for a JD 2 cylinder all the way back to a Model A (Tractor not the Ford) at any Deere Dealership. Until recently JD had their own Retro Dealership in Moiline, IL, down the street from where new combines and planters are built. It looked and was operated as a JD Dealership would have in the 1950's. Just down the street is the John Deere Pavillion which displays a rolling stock of one of a kind classic John Deere equipment. Several #1 serial numbers included. I can tell you our parts guys cringe when someone is looking for these parts because they have dig out the old parts books as JD does have them on the computer.

David Coco I'll meet you there some day. No offence taken

Our condolences to your family. Your Dad touched so many lives and will now touch many more. The Good Lord surely has the gate wide open today. How great would that be to live with your Grand Dad above a Fire Station. James and family, I wrote this about my dad when he passed Christmas Day 2008 and have shared it with friends who lost their Dads since. He was a hard ass (with a heart of gold) who had 2 passions; Farming and his Wife (our mom) of 63 years.

And I was going to post a tribute to my Company Car a 97 Lesabre 250K that just got retired for a new Impala. Didn't know all the windows go up and down and all the speakers actually work:D??

I could take the back seat out of my son's Riv and move the front seats back a bit. It could be a known as the Riveatta IIXL. Aint' nobody gonna darken a gorgeous day we're having here today in Iowa. 65 F sunny and multi fall colors R. Y.

Looking for a brushed alluminum valley pan for a 63 401 Nailhead. email at me buickman@ymail.com Rick

Thanks Paul $100 exchange at O O O Oreily's

Hit us with your best shot Lamar. Not exactly Pat Benetar!!!!!!!

As I have always said. "The key to a successful marriage is a heated garage". Or in this case a air/conditioned one.

My 97 Lesabre is throwing code P0102; Mass or volume air flow circuit low input Is that the mass flow sensor ahead of the air cleaner? Would that cause irregular idle and dying at a occasional stop sign?

Thank You Brian for your service to our country. Our thoughts and prayers everyday for you. Rick
