The Crosley isn't this thing though. But then I dunno. Maybe he really was short.

I mean I like my wagon partly for how small it is.

I'm kind of expecting 55-60 mph, maybe.

It'll probably slow it down a bit if I make a windshield for it.

As far as weight, my dad said he found somewhere on some website that said the Crosley station wagon weighed 1400 lbs. I haven't weighed this thing yet.

Text from my dad:

SAVE A GoBrandon JUG. COZ IT'S MY FAVE CULLER & COZ IT'S POIFICK FOR WEN DA GEEZER'S FOOL GAGE DISFUNXIONZ.



Translation: save an empty orange Go-Jo hand cleaner jug so he can use it to carry extra gasoline on his little Honda 400, which has reserve on the tank but he forgets to put it back to "on" after he gets to a gas station, and he runs it on reserve til it's totally empty and I have to bring him gas.

That kind of stuff scares me. Who's next on that list? It appears our long lost Alaskan, Ice road driver is no longer with us.

Think he means Faegol

Faegol has a hot young nurse....

 

[389 Hood]

That means nothing. He said he was in his late 80's and still kicking like a mule. If so, he went down happy.

Point being if I had a hot young nurse I wouldn't GAF about this forum.

There are no obituaries on legacy.com for his name & location.

She's only young compared to him.

Hey, perspective is everything.

Since my knees are up against the dash, there's no good place for switches and gauges so I'm making a little overhead panel.





Just four 10-24 screws.

Took me ten minutes for the first 3, maybe 2 hours for the last one before I ran out of drill bits and grabbed the f*in' acetylene torch.

I don't know what it is about bed frame angle iron. There's random spots where it's as hard as diamond.

I dulled 7 drill bits before I decided just to pop a hole in it with the torch & put a nut on it instead of tapping threads into the angle iron like I was able to do with the first 3.

It's gotta be bed frame angle iron. I've encountered this bullshit before with it. I've destroyed band saw blades on it too.

As far as I'm concerned, when it's no longer being used on a bed, it's f*in scrap for the recycler. Can't make shit with it.

I'd love to know what misfiring your brain was doing to make you decide to buy this thing.

It wasn't misfiring. I'm just f*in' weird.

 

[Electric Chicken]

You're a neurologist's wet dream.

I modified some once to make a bed lower so my MIL could get in it easier. She was a small woman and couldn’t move too good

The places I welded felt a little funny, like cast iron

I'd like to challenge a bomb squad guy some day.

I'll build a fake bomb, with just a loud buzzer that goes off instead of a bang, and see if he can defeat it without setting off the buzzer.

I bet they do that stuff in training all the time.

just give him this...

 

[GAnthony]

You have your work cut out for you, that's for sure.

If nothing else, it will give @GAnthony something to bitch about, as I'm sure there are going to be plenty of pictures.

yeah, another fucking project that'll take up megabytes of data space for all these 574,957,324,800 pics soon to come.

He's just having trouble adapting to modern technology.

When he was my age, the closest thing to a photograph was a painting on a cave wall.

yup, and we used crushed berrys for the ink.

I wonder if raviolis were carved out of stone back then.

that's how the concept came to me, a drawing of one of Mike Lindell's, "my pillow" on the wall, and Boom, raviolis were born.

I used to build car washes. At 1st they were using good ol USA steel drilled and welded like a dream. Then they started in with Korean steel. You could drill a hole no problem, then move 12" and could barely scratch the steel. That shit was all like that hard soft.

That explains why every other Hyundai is a good one.
