Mudbone Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Trunk or Treat event at our church this afternoon. About 18 cars participated. It was a drive by. (We passed out candy to the kids in their car) Sue decorated, all I had to do was park the car and open the trunk! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbone Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 We are having very strange weather here in IL. It was about 75* today so we took a drive out to White Pines State Park. The park was full of people! We also stopped at a few antique shops! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbone Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 My buddy found One Bid’s older sister! He was driving by an old Chrysler dealership up in Richmond WI. and noticed the Buick in the show room. (It is now just a repair shop) My buddies car outside is a 34 Olds with a Buick T Type Turbo V6. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 I did yard work all day. I decided to get One Bid out of the garage. (I have started it about every two months or so) It started right up and I went for a drive and put some more premium fuel in it. Two people came over and talked to me about the car. That is what makes it fun! Then I went home and parked it in the front garage next to Project 66R. Project 66R was not happy at all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneybeauchamp Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hi, just had an enjoyable few hours (several really) being entertained by your work on One Bid. I had a break from my own project for a change. Was really fooled by the overheating issue which reminds us all to always check what you are checking with something that you know works. I like you put things in boiling water ( gauges, thermostats) to check they open and close as I no longer have faith in what we buy. Was going to invest in a similar digital thermal tester, but now not so sure 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Checking what a PO has done is also wise as you don’t know to what standard they worked too, if any. He would have been better advised to skip the tunes box and spend the money elsewhere to get it reliable. Am sure your other project is missing out, but her time will come! All these posts give us inspiration to keep doing what we are doing. I might also try a video too! cheers Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Yes, it was pretty embarrassing when I finally found that it was the inferred thermometer. Electronic stuff can work one day and not the next. I felt sorry for the previous owner as he had done everything to keep it cool but the guy that did his radiator put in the wrong core. As for the inferred, I did get my revenge….. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) The floor pan and 90% of the trunk floor in One Bid is in great condition. The rear body mount panel that is spot welded to the trunk floor and the fuel tank framework is in poor condition just like it was on Project 66R. I am planning ahead. Someday this needs to be replaced, so I thought I would start looking now. (These photos are from Project 66R before I decided to do the frame off) Edited June 16, 2021 by Mudbone (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the answers I got. Ummmm trans fluid? The high performance muffler bearings & blinker fluid? Looking for fire ants???? Making sure the urinal isn’t clogged A chrome go faster!!!! hmm hydraulic fluid? My '50 Plymouth had the brake reservoir under the floor.? Making sure it had a floor and wasn't last owned by Fred Flinstone. checking brake fluid Brake fluid in the master cylinder. Checking for water leak?
