  1. Eh? What's that you say? Speak up. Tom
  2. Can you imagine what MS Windows would do if someone took a paper towel and Windex to one of those flat panels? You would get the blue screen of death so fast... Tom
  3. I like the Gulf Oil color scheme also. I wonder why the louvers are off center? Or maybe it is the center stripe that is off center. Tom
  4. In regards to two of the plugs not matching the other two: Does your engine have sequential fuel injection or Batch fuel injection? One of the injector drivers might be gaining or losing resistance. Or if your ignition is wasted spark, your sparkplugs might not be the platinum-platinum type that some wasted spark systems require. Tom
  5. Small world. I did the fiber feed for that place years ago. That's out near Wittman AZ NW of Phoenix. I remeber the facility was so clean inside you could eat off the floor. Of course they didn't have any vehicles or people yet, but it was still a spotless facility. I also enjoyed the speed limit signs for the 3 lanes of the 10 mile around, banked test track. It was the MINIMUM you could do in the fast lane (outer) of like 155 mph. This was way before cheap digital cameras, otherwise I would have taken pics. But luckily Google Earth took some for me. There are junk yards along Grand Ave in between Phoenix and Wittman. There are several other test tracks in that area also; an old Chrysler track off of 211 ave (I think) and maybe a Volvo track west of Grand Ave. I've met 5 LoCost builders so far and if I can talk one of them into selling me their older project there will be a 6th shortly. Tom
  6. Dermot, Dress yourself as a gangster of the period and her as a nightclub singer or floozie. Women love to dress up, either elegant or saucy, they love it. Tom
  7. Down around Tucson there are a few. The one that I knew of in west Phoenix was gobbled up by the housing boom. Please tell me you're not planning on making a living at a wrecking yard, auto or aerialmobile type. Tom
  8. The youtube links don't work for me. Can you post some pics? Tom
  9. Yes, that was run for about 5 or 6 months. It wasn't until recently that I caught the little finger point at the end of the hand (paw) slapping. Love those Geico commercials. The Little Piggy that went Wee Wee Wee all the way home is another favorite of mine. Tom
  10. Good for you. I see way too much of this on the road:
  11. Are there junkyards? You've got to be kidding me. With our dry climate all the rusty cars from back east heal themselves in 2 to 3 months, tops. Yeah we have plenty, what sort of work do you do? Tom
  12. Must be stealth birds.
  13. I wonder how difficult that would be to import. If it is a Westfield, what are the measurements in relation to a "book" frame, I'm a long legged dreamer. Tom
  14. Is it my setup or is that video pausing every half second or so? Tom
  15. That mis-quote of Larry the Cable guy is actually appropriate here. Tom
  16. I had a girlfriend just like the first responder described, ended up marrying her. Going on our 33 year. Tom
  17. If it sold why is it still listed? That is a beautiful car, in my favorite color also. Tom
  18. Well then, Congratulations. Put up some pics when you get a chance if you don't mind. Tom
  19. If you have an attic scuttle hole in your garage, place a 20" box fan up there instead of the sheet rock cover and turn the fan on low. We do that here to exhaust all the heat from the parked cars. Yes, older cars tend to exude gasoline around gaskets and fittings.
  20. First, what's a phone booth? And secondly, what's a dime? Tom
  21. Dang, Bruce. Why do you find and post all these temptations so close to Christmas? Now go out and find me one of these Superformance cars without an engine and tranny, Okay? I sure like the build quality of their cars; wish they had kept making the S1. Tom
  22. That looks like a converted seat bracket. Is it? Tom
  23. Now that's a great logo! I think we could solve all this hoopla by just having your choice of who patted you down. I mean really, just have a bunch of gorgeous gals and guys in their early twenties and in great shape, standing in a line. You could then choose your patter downer. Just think of all the starving college students and movie star hopefuls we could keep employed, not to mention people would think of just about any reason to go fly somewhere. I think tipping could be involved too, weed out those that can't learn how to pat down properly. Tom
  24. I absolutely love big racks too! The only thing I like more than big racks is the ability to use a pallet jack under them. Almost all the things in my shop are on wheels or can be picked up with a pallet jack. If you take your bottommost supports and move them up, you can store heavy, seldom used tools, under the first shelf. Kind of like you've done with the saw. You can also mount some short flourescent shop lights on the underside of the first shelf if it's up around 7' and have a nice well lit work space; even though it looks like your shop is better lit than most. Nice shop, BTW. What do you do for a living? Mechanic work? Tom
