hosestop@msn.com Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 1 .The 1972 shop truck came from the desert and mice ate the wiring probably ,somebody repaired and changed some colors ,I make them stock colors , I cut out trans wires and put a toggle on back up lights in cab . and it runs started up ,getting plowered today !(did I say it has 92 k original miles !) 2 . Dr.Pepper cap is what I told him for what color - A cust sent me a 1971 510 2dr to paint red , I convinced him paint it Marroon , the stock color is a little rare at this time ! for a later job very straight almost rust free ,anbody know this met brown 2dr from up north . I like getting the car as a stripped shell for a complete paint stock color ! ![url=http://s1183.photobucket.com/user/Alleycatgarage/media/100_2507.jpg.html][url=http://s1183.photobucket.com/user/Alleycatgarage/media/100_2508.jpg.html] Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 That truck and that dog go well togrther. Lean and most probably mean. Looks like a German Shepherd and Coyote mix [not intended to be snide, they do exist and are very smart!]. I had one when I was a wee lad and yes he was very smart and very loyal. He even saved me from getting hit by a car (my dad said it was a datsun) :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I bought an extra pound for the keeper, James at last swap meet ,they also have artificial crab meat cerviche for like 6.00 per pound but its a little sweet kind of , my friends make it with yellow fin tuna or Dorado and it's really good you know it is soaked in lemon juice over night and citric acid cooks in fridge , turns white ! Orange Ruffy sliced lenghtwise along the natural divisions between belly, upper and lower body meat. Squeezed lime juice. An envelope of Good Seasons Italian Dressing dry mix, A little Japanese Rice Vinegar [and I do mean a little] and a shot of Mazola corn oil [i will explain!]. Marinate at least an hour, then toss on the grill over good hardwood charcoal! Mesquite charcoal would be ideal. Grill until you see char marks, it has already been "cooked" by the vinegar and lime juice. The corn oil lets you pull it off the grill without all of it falling through to the charcoal. Eat it right off the grill! Yummy! Quote Link to comment
