That's what I'm talking about . Gasser's ! And when you think Gasser's you think 55 Chevy's and 41 Willis.
I think it's excellent a Weird thread gets hijacked into a car thread.
I know David and J Rod would approve anyway.
That's who we are and what it's all about.
Jean you feel free to post any old Pic's you want anywhere.
I can't imagine anyone on this site being offended.
Those are some quality clear shots .
I miss old Dragster Man too he had some mean machines of the long Variety.
I need to sneak over to Bobby Langley's house and snatch some old pics and copy them.
I doubt he would remember when we worked together.
He wore that dang Billy Gibbons beard even in the Texas Summer.
I have a new copier/scanner and with these new repair programs you can really enhance old photos.
I took a moth eaten little photo booth shot of my mother at about 10 years old and filled in the holes and took out the white spots and made everyone an 8 x 10.
If I can do it a monkey can do it cause I'm technologically challenged.
I have to fix that though with help from a couple of friends who are computer friendly.
On advice that I'm too old to work on hot rods anymore I bought this LT 4 Vette with a lot of goodies and you tune it with a laptop. LOL
I told the guy I bought it from , I used to look into modern race cars and marvel at the myriad of electronics in wonder.
I STILL DO ! LOOK IN WONDER THAT IS !
My most recent question after just spending $400.00 for a Dyno Tune was in really small print.
The only DUMB question is the one you don't ask.
I have a habit of first charging my Batteries in my Vehicles then disconnecting them while I'm gone 30 days or more .
Question: When I unhooked my batt. for an extended time Did I loose my high dollar Tune ?
When I next start it will my 383 jump straight in the air and grenade in a total fireball taking the Red Vette and my house with it ?
I'll tell you I was on pins and needles on that one.
Need not have worried as all three unhooked computers are flashed programed and will retain programed info.
Seems my Dumb Arse dodged the bullet again.
Now on to 64 or better GB laptop and save tune into a folder and Disc for safe keeping and play away.
See I'm learning .
I feel like the Army Air Force Pilot in the movie that was froze for 50 years and brought back to life and stared in wonder at modern Technology.
Is it any wonder why the crew chiefs these days get big bucks??
Every time you see them ,the guys are working on the engine while the CC works at the computer.
How many old farts around who know race engines and are computer savvy anyway ?
CC wanted , Nitro experience and Video Game experience nessessary !
Someone told us decades ago and we probably laughed that computers would run every thing one day.
But 8,000 HP engines and 5 disc clutches ? Well Yeah!
Really Weird alright , Drag Racing and Computer Technology who would have thought that back when those 55 front bumpers came off to fit a tow bar and someone said, " Hey that looks great " !
