smithbrother Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I love FITTY FO's, but not the models with the SWOOPING rear roof line that wraps around the lower part of the rear window. Probably just ME, don't care for the models with built in windshield VISOR tooooooooooooooooooooooo! Ben may, maybe not? Ben's building a HOT ROD straight eight, SLOWLY,,,,,,,,,,,grandma was slow, but she was 84 and expecting. hehe Got to LOVE that dare Ben, Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialEducation Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Pretty sure the guy to the right of the Buick is doing some watering too. Not sure why else they would be looking down like that. Not like they had Pokemon GO back then... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I think that's KING TUT's tomb off to the right, those fellows, including the one in front of the Pontiac are looking for the EARLY PROTOTYPE 'pokemon's. We were downtown in a small town north of us, NOBLESVILLE, IN, and around the square there were at least 50 people with heads looking down at their cells, looking for dim dare stupid pokemon's. Some even walked out in the traffic without looking. NOT ME, NEVER Dale in Indy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tell where 'yall's mind is wandering! Aren't Buick people supposed to be "classier" than that???)) When I opened the picture in another tab, then enlarged it and got out the magnifying glass (related to the available enlargement in the software), it's easy to see the wall between the man's right hand and his pants leg. Probably more of a "sitting too long" stretch than "pit stop in the open". Besides, you're supposed to "empty" BEFORE the trip rather than at the destination. There's ALSO something visible in front of the rh rear tire, too far from the other guy's foot position. About right for a smaller person he's looking at. Appears to be something visible through the lower part of the rear window, outside of the vehicle. NTX5467 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph P. Indusi Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Another problem with hydraulic surge brakes is backing up. The trailer ball pushes on the trailer master cylinder and the trailer wheels lock up. One boat trailer my son had for his boat had an electrical connection on the trailer master cylinder that you put 12 volts on and it prevented wheel lockup. Probably had some kind of electrically operated valve that re-routed brake fluid. Turns out there is a 5 wire plug from tow vehicle to trailer instead of the common 4 wire plug. The fifth wire connects to the backup light circuit thereby providing the 12 volts when backing up. Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 There is one of dim dare FITTY FO'S with the built in windshield visor, not my choice design. hehe. Still recall when the first one showed up at the dealership, I said OH, NO....... I do LOVE dim FITTY FO'S though, well MOST models. Really liked my 54 Century HT with SCALLOPS.
