Hot rods, street rods, muscle cars and old trucks

[doc]

yea...the Covid deal burnt a lot of folks. I wouldn't be mad if they consolidated the swap meet outside just so I wouldn't have to walk 12 miles to see everything. Make sense they would want to keep all us riff raff outside the track anyway. Felt like they were aiming for the cars and coffee crowd inside with all the car clubs, the Smith Heritage car event and the Ford Driving experience.

I know @ramjo had fun at the Smith Heritage display trying to make sure my buddies son didnt lay across the hood of a $2,000,000 Ferrari F40.

The covid deal pissed off a ton of people, dumping the blue infield did as well...

I went on Friday, it was sad...been going since I was 12 - not sure I'll be going again.

That was my thought also. Definitely a sad sight compared to a decade ago.

Was visiting a friend last weekend and this is his STI swapped VW Bus he’s been building.

Cool bus but what is STI for those of us not in the know.

That’s funny the guy was reluctant of putting that badge on it because of that acronym!

Does he happen to be a geology professor at UNCC?

No, he is a retired private pilot. But I knew a uncc professor back in the day that had a few VW buses or actually those bus truck things. I went to school with his daughter and can’t think of their last name for the life of me.

Can't afford an old Mopar so I did the next best thing. Some people don't like these but I love them.

Been home visiting my parents for a week. Spent some quality garage time helping my dad with his ‘55 ford wagon. Getting the rack and pinion dialed in a bit. It’s a work in progress but it’s cool to help my old man in the shop.
It has the original 272 YBlock .030 with a T-Bird four bbl intake from a 312 YBlock. Holley 4 bbl. Trans was swapped from the old slush box Ford O Matic to a FMX 3spd auto from a mid seventies mustang. Grenada spindles for discs up front.
Dad and I got this car when I was in middle school and started but school, life, and me leaving for the army got in the way. About 2 years ago he started back at it as time and money permits. I haven’t been home in 7 years so it was the first time I’ve seen it in person with the progress. It was pretty damn cool. I even got to drive it around the yard a bit lol.

Dad's old truck is almost back on the road. Been sitting since July 2011. Finally pulled the aluminum intake back off and found out it was warped. So the cast 2bbl intake is back on. Carb adapter, 4bbl holley, and the old guy is getting close to pulling trailers and hauling trash once again.
