cny first gen 71

Happy new year everyone I guess this may be first post of the new year. Hope everyone has a great new year.

It's the annual new Years day running of the wrecks a day early because looks like rain then snow tomorrow. Snowblower is all ready for whatever comes and started and car car for a bit and even the lawn mower too as it's so nice out today. I know no pictures didn't happen so here it is. Car wants to go for a ride but way to much salt on roads, everything but snowblower is put back for the rest of its winter rest. Happy new year to all.

Don't have to take anything down if you don't put it up to begin with.

the engine builder would have been my first call.

Aren't you going to miss all that when you retire? 😳 I'm sure you and Amy are looking forward to it but yea the urologist is in your future sorry to say. I go back Friday for my follow up from radiation treatment to hopefully find out that it worked. Hopefully start off new year on a good note.

Yes it's sad, he was a good person but he had a good long life. If I was still working I'd be getting a free day off, federal day of mourning but it's way better to be retired.

Get a stethoscope and try to track it down that way, sounds like something is rubbing somewhere.

That answer we can tell our cars just not our woman 🤣 the cars need to hear us talking dirty to them now and then.

I for one am kinda glad this year is done and I'm hoping for a better year next year and hope everyone else has a good new year, stay safe everyone!

It does require some special tools and skills, I'd suggest if it's something you've never done before to have someone that knows how to do it properly. I did learn how to do them many years ago but I would definitely have it done for me now.

In a perfect world with no rust they are fine but unfortunately 99 percent of us have to deal with rust on the older cars and the newer ones too.

Sorry to hear this Rob hope you get better sooner than later. Merry Christmas

5 and 15 year badge, couple more years to get 20 year

Joe is right most people overlook rear end thinking motor needs more. Gear it properly for the type of driving you'll be doing and set up.

I see Dennis got his screws at home depot, got a little bonus too

I could imagine you with hair and beard permed 😅🤣😅

Are they for my car? awww you shouldn't have but that's a nice Christmas gift 🤣

I used aluminum flat stock just drilled a couple holes in it.

Yea we got a light dusting about 4 inches or so nice light fluffy stuff. But it's cold about 20f going down to single digits next couple nights 🥶

I do 😁

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka or what ever holiday you celebrate. Have a safe and happy holiday season with family and friends be safe out there too. Yes shortest day of the year today and one day closer to spring. I like the new picture Joe it looks good 👍 it confused me at first but that doesn't take much 😅 happy new year too, let's hope for a better year next year!

I've sold a couple things off market place only bought one and met at a neutral location to complete sale. Yes be very careful.

A friend of mine has to get rid of his 71 402 auto, he don't really want to but having a cash flow problem. It's partially apart right now, was a running driving car before he started working on it. He's Asking 10 grand for it. I included a couple pictures any more info let me know I can give you his number.

What is it you ended up doing Jim? I'm kinda curious.

I'm not sure but I believe this is the one you have to cut and bend out of the way, and after you change the nut fold back over and weld back up. Kinda like this. The northern guys have mentioned this before luckily you have interior out already. I'm sure someone else will chime in onthis too.
