Aug 2012 : If it needs to shine, it's a problem. If it's an old truck, it's just patina. | |
Aug 2012 : I left ethanol-contaminated fuel in tank for months, so intake valve(s) stuck. And when I started truck for last time in ATL, it back-fired through intake ferociously enough to blow up the power brake booster check valve.

Dec 2009 : The boys were impressed by some car with flames painted on it, so I told them they could paint flames on the truck. Worked great, except the mild blue masking tape (which won't even pull latex paint off sheetrock) pulled off the old green paint. Oh well. |
Oct 2004 : Camping out in infield at Atlanta Motor Speedway next to the Bubba Chalet. | |

Nov 2000 : I kinda liked the overhead stereo in the "Art-Truck", so I moved the stereo overhead in the work truck too. I ran the wires in the roof. Added clearance lights too. And gauges. |
Aug 2000 : Bought 1981 F250 (140k miles) as a functioning alternative to my immobile 1982 F150. Included camper top (sold) and propane conversion (cool, but removed tank to make space). |
