Dude EVERYTHING looks good with Cragars...

 

This also has the look, but does not require cragers!

In an Italian mood this morning. 

 

Just wanna go for a ride on the open road in this. Course I would not have put in the smelly diesel motor.

I sure as hell would have put in a Diesel motor. What's wrong with Diesel?

Love this Hellcat, pulling a hellcat.

Personal choice, but Extremely smelly, would rather have the fresh air smell and very toxic over a traditional gas motor. Personal opinion and your welcome to have the Diesel. Diesel contains arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde and nickel. 

As both my wife and I being cancer survivors, I think there is just so many better options over diesel.

Diesel Exhaust and Cancer

Diesel Engines & Public Health | Union of Concerned Scientists (ucsusa.org)

I just care about my friends and loved ones that I would not want to expose them to the following:

• Lung cancer
• Birth defects
• Asthma
• Heart Disease
• Premature deaths
• Emphysema
• Allergies

Diesel exhaust, specifically the nitrogen oxides damages lung tissue, lower the body's resistance to fight infections on top of a wide variety of lung diseases and is a common major component of Smog.

As one who has graduated from medical school and studied the effects more recently due to my own cancer scare 7 years ago, I care enough to accept that we need to change and stop using tech that can hurt humanity.

One must say, if we gave up on coal much earlier, would the biggest coal supporter who died in 2019 of black lung still be here today? Diesel is the same thing, yes we need it for specific jobs in the commercial sector till better replacements are available, but could we not do with a healthier better option?

There's a place for everything / there is no universal solution.

I am not really into pick-up trucks as you guys know. SUVs...

Well...I do like some. My preference for a type or style of pick-up truck stems from the military work horse truck.  Mainly WW2.  

The latest pictures I posted gives you a glimpse into my world.  I have always been fascinated with WW2 machinery. Guns. Tanks. Planes. Trucks. Etc.

And, to me, German and American military hardware are some of the most beautiful machines created from WW2.  Not getting into my hatred of the German war machine of 1933-1945, I sometimes have an internal conflict of posting that, but I cant escape the fact that German tanks, guns, planes...halftracks...are indeed, beautiful designs.  Ditto that American half-track. And American WW2 war machines too.  

Since I dont have another outlet to post some of those things (and I dont really want to post those in the Random Thoughts thread just in case somebody might think Im randomly thinking in invading a country or something,  I wanted to express my love affair of WW2 machinery.

It started out as a Toyoter 4Runner.  It ended with a Dodge Power Wagon...

Dodge Power Wagon (WW2 workhorse truck)  lead into the Chevy G506 1 1/2  ton 4x4 workhorse truck. Which lead into the half-tracks.

I LOVE the radical proportions of this '58 Ford : 

Y-you guys realize I'm serious, right?
L-O-V-E short hood/long deck cars. 

 

^ That top Electra coupe is a real sleeper (other than the exhaust). I think I posted a vid of it here whuppin' on a 392 Challenger on the strip.

- - - - - 
 

Yeah...I remember seeing such a vid.

I didnt realize its this same Buick.  Ill go searching for it on here later in the afternoon

 

Allow me:

 

All stock body/interior, naturally-aspirated big block Buick (tho I believe around 490 CI).

uh, what year is that Electra 225? Early 1970s?

1970 Buick Electra 225 coupe and sedans. 

 

 

Yes; 1970.

Coupe is 4700 lbs, 3.90 gears, 11.4 in the quarter mile. 

I love it because spec-wise it's close to what I'm building, but my car should be 500-600 lbs lighter.
