Man... musta been slow around the @pullstart Stables today... Did you need a DOS computer to go that far back in the archives...?

 

Good thing I’m wearing my State if Michigan approved mask... :ph34r:

I would’ve choked when @ebinmaine blew the dust off this one...

 

:ychain:

 

 

I want you to know

 

Mister fancy railroad man

 

She burst out laughing.....

Even put it in Haiku

 

Hope it made you smile.

That's funny right there....

 

If it makes you feel any better I'm reorganizing the basement workshop today to be more user friendly so I can do some colossal things.

I don't make excuses. Ever.

I am who I am and I do what I do. Nothing more.

 

 

Progress? Well, we're workin' on it....

You don’t let these guys harass you. Take your time and make sure you don’t cut any corners. Do what you got to do. Now get busy :teasing-whipyellow:

Don't encourage Eric to get any slower or Col..... or what ever it was!  Will never be finished. If he gets any slower Trina will have to remove the rust and repaint all those parts.

That won't happen... But only because it's sitting in the humidity controlled basement.

The wheels and tires are in the car. They'll be dropped off to be mounted and fluid filled.

Yessir. All are tube type farm tractor tires. The packages of tubes are just out of camera shot, lower right.

Hehehehehe.

Me too. ((On vehicles :hide:))

 

These rears are 6.70-15s. Blowed up they should measure just about 7" and the whole ride should be 40", +. 

 

 

You see the Charger for a wiiiide one. 40" across on 10.5s w/ no spacers.

 Wide tyres are fine but don't bite like narrow ones will, due to the spread of weight on the ground. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

If that's 100%, then why are the skinny tires up front and the fat ones are for traction on the back of a on a top fuel dragster 🤔... Jus' sayin'

Well now that's a whole different game of physics there. 

Hard surface, ultra fast machine, big engine, very little steering to be done.
