Post ALMOST anything you want thread

Have a great time.

 

sorry guys i haven't been on ive been sick and the doctor thinks its a staph infection. i hope not when i get time i'll take some pics of the wagons got some 14 inch steel wheels on the fairmont

 

I hope you get better quick and don't worry about not being here we understand.

 

As in police cruiser wheels with the little dog dish caps?

Getting sick is not on the menu, not in the script, not allowed. Prove the doc off his rock.

 

thanks guys and yes sir norman dog dishes if i can find a set bad sadly no police wheels i found a set of 14 in steel wheels but they are only 6 inches wide. i might 5 lug the fairmont cause dad has a set of 14 inch by 7 1/2 inch steel wheels. and right now i might not rat rod it i buffed the paint and it came out great for 26 year old paint

 

I saw a Ford Cruiser site about a month ago. We never think about it, but if some cities and states still use the interceptors, they usually get a stock of FDPR (Frequently Damaged Parts Replacements). Might be worth checking by email with the Police maintenance folks?

If I hear of any, I'll let you know.

 

thanks norman ,the wheels i installed have real small centers like other ford steel wheels take a 10 1/2 inch dog dish the wheels i have take 9 1/4 dog dishes. so they might be hard to find i know 63 falcons and fairlanes use them so i'm on the hunt for a set and i hate e-bay

 

Hehehe!

This isn't really worth its own thread.
People in Oakland CA have found a way to make their cars even more annoying.
"Whistle tips" on the exhaust.
Notice that the first car they show with the noismakers installed looks just like mine!

That is one of the stupidest things being done to cars.

 

As some of you may have read. After being without work for maybe 2+ years I finally was able to land another job, I lost my last job at the Oakland Airport in the aftermath of the great banking/ housing collapse.

I now work for an auctionhouse in San Francisco. I hate going into SF everyday but its a job. And jobs are hard to find right now.

Anyways here a pic of me , next to one of the pieces that will be auctioned off.

Its a 1948 Pontiac Woodie Stationwagon. I had just drove it off the truck into our reciving dock and it was awaiting to be gone over by a mechanic before it was to be cataloged.


The car is a work of art. A three on the tree with a flat-8 motor and was given a frame off restoration. Sorry if the image dosent come out so well, its taken with my andriod camera phone.

 

I was slightly confused about those photos. I was born and partially raised in Illinois and I don't remember palm trees or an ocean. Or the Gulf as it seems in reality! But I do recall some big lake up near another State called Chicago!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima Glad ya'all cleared this up for me because I don't like being confused.

 

That pretty much leaves me out!

Okay I'll try!
