What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2021]

Sounds like typical Ford truck mileage. Other than our main highway 75 mph is about the safe max, 80 mph isn't a thing here, unless you want a ticket.

70 is the speed on the stretch of highway betwwen my place and des moines to the east and omaha to west. it nestled down to 55 towards des moines' downtown area. if you arent going at least 5-10 over on a given highway you get passed like youre going backwards. before i realized the odo was off a week after i got the truck, the sumbitches got me with a speed trap doing 73 in a 60 just keeping up with traffic.

Everyone drives fast here too and tail gates like mad here. The RCMP are out on the major highway's here pretty often.

Wouldn't they get hit by the trucks? I'd think it's safer to stay on the shoulders. Then again, when they get splattered it would slow traffic down so I guess it's just a different way of doing things...

They actually have to take up the lane on purpose, a policy now, officers have been hit and killed.

its a 76, should it not have hardened seats from the factory? i dont need any parts that i know of... yet.

I am going by what my machinist told me. My 77 360 did not have hardened valve seats.

If it's thay bad they should be buying RHD cruisers, park offset into the lane as required and approach the passenger side perhaps... feel bad for all those families, I was picturing a guy on a horse standing in the road

Got after two of the side projects this morning. First up was the 69 Camaro, opened up the new Digital Dakota gauges and mounted them the a new gauge cluster, high quality pieces.





Soon




Next up was the "Leg Breaker" 4 wheeler, needed to pull the carb and clean it, bunch of trash settled into the carb after the rollover. Secondly the tires needed slimed for puncture protection. Carb cleaned and tires slimed, need a couple hose clamps to put the fuel filter in.

Already sick of the Ferd? Or just need more rust in your life?
