These guys would appreciate a 79 Ford Bronco. I know I do.

Elbow grease, and chrome polish will do wonders. I used to use the stuff made by Dupont, but I have not seen it latley.

I saw some stuff tonight at walmart called chrome polish and rust remover, but im not sure how well it would work. Im thinking about soaking them with vinegar the rest of the week, and then scrubbing them good this weekend. That is after i get back from NHRA races saturday.

I almost got my damaged fender off, got all but one bolt out, i was lucky enough up until that last one, where all the bolts had nut plates welded to the other side, but not the last one, and i couldn't find someone to help so it now has only one nut left to remove.

Nothing gets rust off of chrome like wet steel wool.

That looks nice Bruce. Is that some sort of a microfiber? I especially like the armrest.

moronthe- Thanks. Not sure of the material she used on the door panels. Something she picked up at a fabric shop here. The arm rests are a velour material she picked up from the same place. The armrests & headliner were done in matching materials last year.

Gastrick- Those plywood bombers are real sharp !

I scored a Lincoln V12 flattie!

Member joukaishou813924 was selling the V12 flattie out of his '46 Lincoln Continental & the old Tripper bought it & drug it home. Gonna put it in a '46 Dodge PU I have & will keep ya posted!!! Also... ck these fotos I took while there!

Is that a Blackbird, Trip?

Speaking of "drug it home", I chained the 48 tonner up to half a tree and pulled it loose from the trunk and dragged to to the north 40. My boys (2 & 3 yrs old) were in the cab with me bouncing around..."Pulled tree with truck, mommy!"

Also celebrated my 5th Anniv with Mrs. Throttle. Arby's, Walmart and "Angels & Demons"...nothing fancy, but enjoyable.

Yep... it's an SR-71 Blackbird! I was shocked to see it there... hard to believe it was designed in the 50's.

You need to come visit us out West guys!

I sold an axle, figured out the cowl and rear section of the truck cab I got is a 30-31 Ford .... now I just need to find some doors. ID'd the gas pump as a Bennett. Sorted through some of the parts I picked up trying figure out what the heck I'm going too do with it all! Went out to dinner with our pseudo-adopted kids. (They are both 27 so we call them our kids.)

BONEHEAD - is that Grand View Point in Canyonlands?

Neat view- I think I still like your back yard (CoNM) better.

BONEHEAD - is that Grand View Point in Canyonlands?.

Canyonlands, Green River, overlook, the other one is Grand View. 1-1/2 hours from my house. I can't believe you have been there, and didn't swing by.
