how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Good morning, gentlemen!

I've been offsite a while, Nancy has been sick again, thankfully she seems OK now. I took Emerson to an old car show in the park, and none other than Wayne the Train Hancock was playing there. So Emerson got to meet him, and now he talks about "Wayne the Train." I suppose I'll have to get a picture of him and put it on the front of one of Emerson's little train toys, so Wayne can pull right alongside Thomas and Percy.

The most impressive ride there was Everett Moore's 1960 Dodge Matador. White with the dual crossflow intake setup, a pair of four barrels. I'll try to get a coupleof pics up. Mr.Moore is a very nice older guy, and he said he redid the motor to run on unleaded by putting in some "swirl," and changing the compression. I hope to get a car of that vintage in a cople of years. Thinking on a circa 1960 Chrysler product, a circa 1950-54 Buick, or a 65-67 Goat. Those are the three I like best in general.

I have had two training rides so far for the Octoginta, an 80 mile bicycle ride around Douglas county. My asp is out of shape, but I did improve from last Monday to Sunday the other day. My old training style of push myself into the ground then rest five days stihl seems to work for me. The ride is this Sunday, my 58th birthday.

The Road King was a lot less effort, I'll tell ya.

Coffee is good.

Have a great day!

I had a 1964 Chrysler 300 K with a 413 that had that intake...
To open the hood and see the 4 barrel carbs sitting over the front wheel wells is an unmistakable site... Anyone that has never seen one looks at you with that WTF look...
Would still have it if it was not stolen from my front yard in CA

Cobey, this is impressive. You do a whole lot of hard-work type stuff. Make sure you lock your truck when you're there, unless you want to prank the thieves with something crappy that looks good, like my 036 pro with internal corrosion that looks pristine. Take care be safe man.

It all went ok, the bad ones stay clear of me, I do my best to be polite,
But I keep my back to the wall

Got the new phone working. I may have to go camp at Pinera Bread and use their WiFi to get my apps back up and running.

Not a bad idea really. Their dark roast is excellent as are their bear claws and pecan rolls.

I like trains. My wife used to ride them all the time when she was a child. My father sold the machinery to work on them to SanteFe and Burlington Northern.
But I have never gotten to ride one. Would like to someday.

Made one train trip in my life at 8 yo.
From St. Louis to San Diego. Mother packed a bunch of fried chicken we ate on the way. I still love it even straight out of the fridge.

I moved here from Chicago on the train in 1968. That summer we rode to LA on the Super Chief. That was very cool.

@teacherman where are you located in KS?

 

[cobey]

Got the 3rd 026 I bought torn down,
Cylinder useable, but had to order a piston to go with the caber rings I got
For it, it should run better

Morning midlanders!

Back to tinkering large Remys now that the phone is squared away.

And eventually build one good Wright C70 out of two.

Above is NOS snagged off evilbay.[emoji847]
