    Brought it to work today. Had to have the door window looked at. Definitely a bright red. Funny, three older guys eating donuts walked over to check it out.

    Pontiac GTO 50th Anniversary: Ghost of “The Goat” Still Haunts Detroit

    Happy 50th anniversary, Pontiac GTO! It’s too bad the Pontiac brand isn’t still around to celebrate, but there are legions of proud GTO owners and muscle car buffs who treasure the model that launched the muscle car genre.

    I tried to research this. I wonder if it is all different cars or like a complete set of all their cards from 1970

    Bidding is over, it did not sell. Crazy what collectors what and what collectors sell toys for. Crazy! Covetousness at its best I guess.

    Looks like people are stopping in to show off their cars....

    Check this one out.

    A little older than mine.

    Different idea. He made a clear cover to see the rockers.

    Not feelin that front end paint - the hood looks like someone ran out of money - roller rockers add small friction loss, but the plexi explains the owners thought process.

    If I were you - I would sell yours to me and you could buy his. - Sounds fair to me - I'd be doin you a favor Buddie !

    What a cool car Frontier Auto Glass was working on..



    I believe it is a 1946 Ford Deluxe

    Ford Motor Company introduced its De Luxe Ford line in 1938 as an upscale alternative to bridge the gap between its base model (usually called Standard)[3] and luxury Lincoln offerings. The "Deluxe" name was used intermittently before and after this to specify an upscale trim, but the De Luxe Ford line was differentiated as a separate "marque within a marque" with separate styling and pricing through 1940. During 1939, Ford had five lines of cars: Ford, De Luxe Ford, Mercury, Lincoln-Zephyr, and Lincoln. After the war, this was simplified to Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln. The 1941 Ford line included "De Luxe" and "Super De Luxe" trim, but these vehicles were not marketed as a separate line.

    The De Luxe Fords of 1938 featured a more sloping hood and ornamental heart-shaped grille. This look was passed on to the standard line for 1939, as the De Luxe Fords gained sharp v-shaped grilles with vertical bars. The standard line once again inherited the De Luxe look for 1940, this time with body-colored vertical bars. The 1940 De Luxe Ford featured a three-part grille with horizontal bars.

    Hot weather and vapor lock

    One issue I'm having is vapor lock. Or a least I think that is the issue. When it is 85 degrees outside and the engine is hot the engine tends to stall sitting at a red light.

    Narrowed it down to the stainless steel fuel line getting too hot.



    It is rather close to the engine. First option is going to be to insulate the tubing.

    This looks promising.

    Hot Rod Sleeve is thermal sleeving capable of withstanding 1200°F continuous and this nonflammable sleeve has a special weave that allows it to expand and contract over fittings and terminals. In addition, it has that old school sleeve look with modern heat shield technology. This is a perfect way to protect wires, fuel lines, brake lines, clutch lines for your custom build. Perfect for shielding fuel lines-helping to stop vapor lock, protect sensitive wire looms from close proximity heat, shield brake lines and hoses, stop clutch cables from melting. Available in 10 and 100’ rolls.

    Maybe a better option would be to reroute the fuel like further away from the block.

    Knock on wood I have had basically no issues with my pickup. Radio was replaced 4 times but other than that it runs great. Most of the truck was made in the states.
