SFH1989 posted:It's called black pearl. You can't really tell from the pictures but in needs a paint job. I was actually surprised I don't have that many good pictures of it. My dad sold it five years ago and only got it back last last year. No I can't tell it needs a paint job! So if I understand correctly, a black pearl arrangement is where you spray a black base coat, then the colored pearl in the clear, then more clear over that? Looks like it has a really neat effect. Does it look black in indirect lighting? e: Terrible Robot posted:Your dad is so much more AI than mine, not fair Haha yeah. Mine just does not understand vehicles as being anything more than reliable transport, and actually complains when I try to put more tools in his garage.

My recollection is the same as your intuition: that they're there to keep the bank from eroding. I'd read before that people have done that along river banks that didn't have trees to hold the soil in place. As an aside, it looks like you went through Coalinga (Coaling Station A). Is it as desolate a poo poo-place as I've been told?

PhotoKirk posted:MN12's are not lovely, they are awesome. I guess there are fans for anything. Can you imagine walking out of the house in the morning, looking at that driveway, and then sighing to yourself that you have to move your '69 Camaro out of the way so you can get to the car you really want to drive?

I was at the pick n pull today, and saw this:  Sorry about the framing, the rows there don't really give much room. It was sitting on a modern-ish truck frame, had an EFI mopar V8 of some kind. I think this is the oldest thing I've seen at a pick n pull. Breaks my heart thinking about them crushing that and the '58 F100 that was there, but what you gon' do. There was also this:  And on the way home this:  Too bad there's no more cell phone pics thread, this really goes there. Excuse my wildly-aiming-phone-while-driving and also my horribly dirty windshield, and, well, the rest of the truck.

Looks like a '53-'56 by the grille, I'd lean towards the near end of that. But who knows if the big trucks were anything like the normal medium-duty pickups.

11BulletCatcher posted:Yeah, I can't say that I'm a fan either. Considering that that Camaro does occasionally see track time, at least from they've told me you'd think he'd have a better eye for the wheels. Haha yeah, if it's making much more than half that, there's not much of the original engine left. Judging by his choice in wheels, though, it's probably just "Fahf Hunnert," I'd love to be proven wrong though. Get him to lift up the hood!

Thelonious posted:The H.A.M.B. is a great forum and I lurk over there quite a lot (six-four Chevy owner). I really do like the forum, but the absolute rabid "traditionalism" is wild. Harping on people for non period mods (even so far as basic safety upgrades) is outrageous. I understand that most are the rules of the forum itself, but they're really missing out on a lot of cool poo poo by being so strict about "the old days". Yeah. I just put together a 2-bolt 350 recently, and just the machine shop bill was $2200. Considering I supplied a core block and two sets of heads, it really doesn't make any sense when you can get a 420HP 4-bolt 383 crate for $3300. Would have saved me like a month of putting the motor together, and I probably spent about that much money overall when you consider the pieces I already had, and all the various bits from Summit. (Cam, lifters, oil pan, gaskets, that sort of thing. Adds up.)

veedubfreak posted:Why the gently caress are quality air cooled engines so god damned expensive compared to crate 350s. When I finally get my hunk of poo poo on the road, I'm looking at around 4500+ for a decent 100+ hp engine. First world problems. There's an obvious solution to this problem...  Thelonious posted:I'm lookin at rebuilding the (originally rated 195 horse 2bbl 283) or a 310 horse crate 350 for not too much more. It's a summer every day driver/cruiser. The extra ponies would be appreciated, but not all that much. Especially since in good tune the 283/powerglide combo actually cracked 18mpg at 60-65mph. The 283 would probably do even better with a 200r4 behind it, but...$$. But wouldn't it be nice to have niceties such as a one-piece rear main seal, one-piece oilpan gasket, roller cam, and so forth? Plus, don't the 283s have road draft instead of PCV and similar anachronisms?
