The snout is braced internally with bearings and even with the offset drive it's not that much longer than the other Ford kits, but that's what they need to clear the distributor.

Thanks for the excursion into the new age music.......its.....uh......different... ...

Funny CME and I like other drinking song also........ I'm looking for 100 bottles of beer......

I read this morning that between the Coug fans and the Iowa State fans they drank the Stadium dry of Busch Lite and were well into drinking all the Bud Lite also....... must be a fun bunch I'm thinking...... and it was a big win also at the Alamo Bowl. Congrats to the Cougs. Drinking a place dry is no new thing for their fans....they have drank many an airplane dry on the way to a game and have shut down bars before because they drank them dry. Of course the Cyclone fans are no slouch last year they drank the City of Memphis dry of Busch Lite......now that is some serious imbibing......

I'm glad that Husker fans are more mature and rise above the common folk......

The older I get the faster time goes........ here we are headed into 2019.....bring it on is what I say.......here is to 140mph in the half.......free Pappy's from now till we run out......Do not invite the Coug fans.....

That reminds me of a history fun fact. 1945, when the war was officially announced over, Russians drank the country dry, completely. Two things you don't do when it comes to Russians, fight them in the winter, or get in the way of their vodka.

An account of a former Russian soldier

"The only day I was ever blackout drunk was May 9th, 1945. I woke up on the street hugging two loaves of bread."

Lot of Old World tradition in that one Hoxx...saw it somewhere before. Don't think you see much of that these days. Pretty good the way she carried it off.

Shouldn't be any surprise for the Cougs H1, you must have seen my post on new student orientation. And that didn't include any of the Drinking songs

It's a true fact that back in the late 1700's and early 1800's most farmers would convert their extra corn into whiskey. Everyone had a still almost. The whisky was easier to keep and had a ready market when called for. Corn whiskey is what fueled the early pioneers, most of whom ate meat and drank whiskey as their main diet. So corn whisky sort of became like a vegetable to them. served at every meal. I have it from good sources that folks drank or I mean ate plenty of the whisky veggies.......I'm sure some were vegetarians.....who needs meat? We will just have corn whisky veggies...... does that remind us of anyone? Yep I thought so......

Speaking of history and great movie theme songs...did you ever see the movie Once Upon A Time In The West? Lot of action, probably a little like the West was started... Also some of the best Western movie music that Clint Eastwood wasn't in.

Here's a couple clips...think the whole movie is on You Tube now. If you haven't seen it worth a look sometime if you like Westerns...Might be helpful when you make a movie out of Your Book...

That's funny Ruxy. That's where i picked up my C4 after over 30 years since my last one.. almost the same except for the Steel Blue color. Had to tape up one of the headlights on the way home at night. No big deal to fix and otherwise it was a great car..

Thanks for the support of the Cougars this Year...

Interesting how things change H1, now there making gasoline out of it because they have cars. I also thought you had retired to start a Hemp farm hybrid with more THC which should be much more profitable and require much less space. I expect to see a new National Brand pretty soon... HHH.. "Hammy's H1 Hemp" you just need a good "Jingle" for it...They call it "evolution" I guess....just saying...

I picked up my GS in Phoenix too.

We got most of the side panel today. Got started late and the temps dropped so it really fucked with the vinyl and didn't get a chance to do the side skirt on the other side, it's small and I'll get it next week or so. Looking to get the engine in very soon.

Yup. It will be an ugly, loud and fast bag of dicks. I think I might enter it into the Optima Street Car Challenge
