You know, we used to be satisfied with incandescent lights, but now any more. I left one tractor restoration as six volt, and I curse the day I made that stupid mistake. I gained some wisdom, thought.

I'm only a Ford guy so I can take a wild guess,--- 1968!

I've been unhappy with the 1157 bulbs in my taillights, so I replaced them with LED's. I already had LED's in the front signal lights so I thought I had exchanged the 'bimetal strip' flasher with an electronic one but I hadn't. That became obvious quickly, so I changed out the flasher and all...

It was quite cold and a wee bit windy tonight, so only fifteen or sixteen cars came out.

Hello and welcome to Ratrods Rule, from northern Alberta.

What ---- no progress! Getting your truck insured and registered is big progress, mister. Congratulations!

SnoPro, here's some food for thought, my nephew wanted to build a hotrod a few years ago but has since lost interest. He went to Edmonton to university and left a 1956 International truck cab sitting on my lawn. Would you be interested. I don't know the price yet, but it won't be very high.

Here are some more Thursday night warriors.

E-man, it doesn't show up in the picture, but it is clearcoated a little too glossy. If he had used really flat clear it would have been even better.

OI, this will be cool, but hard to do. You will have to find a 312 crankshaft, but rods and pistons won't be a problem. A three deuce intake is really, really hard to find, but two fours will be even harder, I think. Y-blocks rev up like a small block Chev. I think Mummert Machine is the place...

Thank you Smalls.

I asked a couple of knowledgeable guys at the A&W show last night, how to set up the accelerator pump even more. It seems that there are quite a few different nylon cams that are screwed onto the throttle shaft which drive the levers that squash up the pump. Well, mine was the wousiest one, so I...

I went to A&W again. There were a lot of cars there so I took some pictures. The '39 Dodge coupe was there again and I got a better shot at it.

Wouldn't you know it. I had a couple of longish test drives today. One was to the A&W so here she is.

There's even more to the 312 tune-up story. Somehow I got the strange idea that maybe my fuel pump was too good and pumping too much pressure so partly flooding the intake. I found an old pump off of a Y-block in my stash of stuff and mounted it on there. Not counting a stumble at easy...

I think so Smalls, but I had my son-in-law drive it in while I took the '55 Merc. He didn't complain, so I guess it was alright.

Here are some more pictures of our last Thursday show.

Very Cool pictures, Dozer.

Well you know what precedes Friday, --- right, Thursday. We had a biggish car show at A&W. Here are some of the cars that I haven't shown much before. The truck that I drove, ['55 Merc] was the one hundredth entry and it looked like there were fifty more after me. My son-in-law drove my '36 Ford...

I get quite a kick out of guys who can appear to be bungling the English language badly, but nobody 'missfollows' them, so they are still communicating proficiently. Keep up the good work, Guys.
