at least my kids Firebird don't have the angry look...in fact in another day or two, it's gonna have the "cool" look.
rims showed up today, not the classic Cragar S/S's we wanted, but the modern look 5 spoke should match the era of his car better. just waiting for the Cooper Cobra's to show up now....wanna talk an excited kid?!!!

Nice Cutlass. I had two 76s back in the day. I still think an Oldsmobile rallye wheel would look better.

Wheel locks? Do they ever have a key? I've known plenty of people including myself that had to fight those ridiculous things. But I don't know anyone that ever had their wheels stolen.

You do now. I had a truck stolen so they could take the wheels. Recovered the truck... sitting on the discs and drums.

my mom loved driving '70's large barges, Buick's, Olds, New Yorkers...prob cause she was only 5' tall. remember her telling me once it made her feel safer...
got a little closer on the kid's rolling stock today. 2 Coopers showed up. was like huh? turns out the rims came from one warehouse, 2 tires and lugs from another warehouse and the last 2 tires from a third warehouse. should be here tomorrow and finally get them mounted up

nice little bonus, didn't pay for them, valve stems and chrome to boot. also sent 2 sets of hub rings, only ordered one set though. not too thrilled with the luggies. need a stupid key wrench to use them....just went thru this with the stock locking lugs and no key. might just go down to the local speed shop and get some old fashioned hex head chromies..

my stepper looked close to that once. changed the fuel pump, took off the rear tires for clearence, which made the front end high, then slid the box back and put the back of it up on a barrel so the fenders wouldn't get broke (fiberglass)
when wife got home she thought i had actually broke the frame and folded the truck...lol

So serene. I was out and about at dust with my son and something about the evening after a real hot day had us commenting on how nice a summer evening it was. About how much we love the summer nights

This one is actually broken in half. It's along the route to where I'm working now and have worked of and on for over five years. Before that to other jobs, too. It's been sitting a long time. It's a plow truck. I remember when it first showed signs of swayback. I noticed it got worse. Didn't work over there till January after not passing by a few years, and now it's broke all the way. It's going to be a real gas hauling that one off, I guess the reason it still sits there

I took a hike along the C&O Canal towpath yesterday. Always a peaceful place to go and being Wednesday made it a special place for only a few people.

The peaceful Potomac River. Notice the Great Heron?

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Man, those pics remind me of the mornings I used to get up early and meet the sun on a riverbank. It wasn't nearly important catching fish as it was just being out there enjoying the beauty and peacefulness of it all.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

[QUOTE=Chevyland;8599670]I know everyone likes photos on this site
Let’s see what you’ve got
Keep it simple
Only (1) photo per post
And an explanation

It can be truck related
But does not have to be

However
You must be the one who took the shot

This is a photo I took some years ago out the window of our house back in Oregon ,, makes me feel cooled downed some just looking at this as it's been a 100 degrees here for a the last few days.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

That's what we all need these days, pictures that bring peaceful good feelings. That picture cools me down, too. On that walk yesterday, a day I thought was going to be like today (low humidity), it got right warm. Not as bad as it could be due to the shade, but I found the best way to cool off without jumping in the river. I didn't have a light to shine back in there, so couldn't be sure any bears had the same idea. I went in just enough to feel the cool air and hung around just a short while. This was right against the canal where water would have run in there. I think it's a mine from after the canal went out of use, or still got used and they dug it to take the minerals out by wheeled vehicle on the towpath. The minerals would have had to go straight into a boat from the mine

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I won't subject you all to the 1000 photos I took on my trip to Vancouver Island, but I do have a few I took just for you.

This is one of the nicest SWBs I have seen in person. I managed to get my camera up in time to get these, and also just in time for the driver to see my thumbs up. He gave me a smile. Possibly a member?

Taken in the harbour of Victoria BC Canada...

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

These were taken in Duncan, BC. I didn't know you could find a truck like this in Canada. I have never seen a truck with original rockers and corners until I saw this one. And it's just being used as a bin for old tires. If this was within 500 miles of where I live I'd have made an offer on it.

Still might anyway, these C20s seem to find me and who cares about driving and winching and trailering and fuel and all the rest anyhow.

Probably a camper hauler. About the best survivors out there. I really like that shorty. I wish I could buy that C/20!

Story from old timers here the blacksmith turned storage shed burned in the late 50s . One neighbor who is native and in his 80s said they use to play in it and it was full of tools . He said it "may" have been a an errant cigarette that started the fire
