:lol: That's another Atomic Annie, placed at the top of a mountain across I-70 from Fort Riley. Same series of cannon, though without its piggyback tractors. The apartment complex I lived at was close enough to see it from the top of that small mountain (or large hill, depending on one's opinion), w...

That brings back memories of when I tried reviving my grand's Man-Of-War in '89. We took it to the one shop in Podunk Quincy, FL, that did that sort of work; and they indicated the whole front end needed surgery. That is understandable as it was still factory-stock at the time. They gave an estimate...

:lol: I think you know me by now, and that I meant that with the most acidic snark. I'm a Gen-X'er who was brought up with just about every educational source of sarcasm available to X'ers. We used to call it "pretend to be," until some self-ordained Gen-Z whippersnapper came up with "...

Bump for an update. Today I installed the new shock absorbers, after being admittedly hesitant to do the job because of that annoying ordeal with the top bracket fasteners on the port side. The starboard-side shock absorber went in without issue; the port side, not so much. As if dealing with a perm...

Does this suggest Frankenstein may be put out to pasture? :smt009 I don’t know how long the new battery has been waiting, but lead-acid will self discharge at like 3 - 5% per month, so be prepared. Oh, no, Lee, not a chance in Hell of that! Frankenstein is still my choice ride; the Mustang (which s...

Oh, that's so cool that somebody uploaded that! I was thinking about searching for that on YouTube, but you found it for me already!

Well, it will be very soon. Saturday I'll be boarding a bus to Tallahassee to retrieve it. Luckily, last year, the last time I saw my mother, I was able to wake it up from a three-year slumber. It needed a new battery and new tires, which I was able to get with.a little help from Mom–she wanted to s...

Now I remember a Maaco commercial from the late-'70s, Western-themed, cowboy going out with a rifle to shoot his old Mustang: "Goodbye, old paint."

Well, Scott's Sadie had A/C, don't know if it worked. He would only bring it out on days that were perfect. Save for the wagon-wheels and the blacked-out bumpers, the car was stock, and very decently equipped. We weren't exactly buddies; we were just aware of one another as we drove the only clap-do...

Yes, Wayne, there were lots of times through the duration of this thread that I thought (or to be precise, hoped) I fixed it, only to see more water when it rained. I might be taking the risk of jinxing myself with this report, but that last storm was soggy enough to drown the car, and it didn't. Fr...

Thank you, Wayne! How long that lasts remains to be seen, but for now it's a relief. Chevy, the windshield has not been off since 2007. The leaks had been going on for longer. I had thought about cowl rust, but my thorough exams of the cowl with the panel and wipers off revealed nothing. Besides, th...

Yes, not everyone is a George Barris. :lol: I had also seen more of those pudding-brained "What to do" posts than I could tolerate...many of them coming from newbies-with-'verts. I H8 newbies-with-'verts. :P I think the incident where the transmission was literally shot began my regular sn...

That's what yours looks like now, Dan?? I remember when it was blue with Chevrolet wheel covers! Actually, looks much nicer now.

Reviving this thread from dormancy for an update. As many will recall, water leaks have been probably the longest-lasting, most mysterious, and most irritating problem Frankenstein ever gave me. Following Rob's advice from 12-1/2 years ago, I acquired a tube of windshield sealant several months ago,...
