Yes sir I understand that one. There’s a few days a week I do similar mileage. The oil fields I work in are pretty spread out, it’s 200+ miles from our northern wells to our southern wells. Enjoy them while they are new, I always feel kinda guilty getting the new ones muddy for the first time.

1976gmc20- yep we do our part to keep mother GM afloat!

yes sir,1966 movie called "Fireball 500",built by George Barris.426 Hemi power as well.

**Boog** · 03-16-2021, 11:27 PM

Frankie Avalon starred in that one.

**FleetsidePaul** · 03-17-2021, 12:35 AM

Didn't Barris build that car? I'm 99% sure it was.

But I don't think I'd be driving it around in the rain with no top.

I have the model kit for it somewhere around here in my junk.

Couldn't help but smile when I rounded the corner and saw this hippy bus.

**Sheepdip** · 03-19-2021, 02:12 PM

But a few years ago I did hear about MHP stopping a Suburban pulling a 14x70 MH on I-90 It was only notable because the trooper walked off in the ditch to get a picture and got bit by a rattlesnake!

Was headed for Ennis Montana a few years ago on I-84 between Twin Falls and Idaho Falls pulling a 30' 5th Wheel, the posted speed limit was 80mph, I was doing 70 and a extra long single trailer fuel delivery truck blew by me at way over 80mph.

Was over at a friends place today and he’s putting the finishing touches on this 56. He’s just doing body and paint, from here it goes to another shop. It was a pretty rusted up hulk when he started. Took it off the frame and stuck it on his rotisserie. Should be pretty cool when it’s all done.

I'll see if I can scan in the picture my wife took of my two older boys, standing in front of our '56 Chevy 210 four-door wagon. She picked the color out of the chip color book, but it's so close to your friend's color that we might have painted these cars out of the same can. I used #11 white for the non-blue parts.

Im not sure what the colors are called, I know they are all factory. The interesting thing (to me anyway) is the dash is painted a darker blue. I asked my buddy why the owner requested it that way and he told me it was the stock color combo.

A small bomb under my car.

My ex wife must have come by and dropped it on her way out. I think she's mad at me.

Happened to a friend of mine about 5 years ago, burnt his whole barn down and everything in it, they nailed it down to a battery trickle charger on a ATV.

Not sure how they do that other than maybe a tripped breaker but that could have tripped during the fire too.
