Welcome

Hey welcome aboard you will find this to be one of the best forums on the net people here are more like a family than any thing else so good luck with your project and if you need anything just ask.

 

from Northeast Pennsylvania

I spent 20 some years building circle track cars for pavement - lot of good times and equally a lot of bad times

Also spent 9 years working for a company based in Bosie Idaho called Morrison Knudsen. We rebuilt EMD locomotives in their eastern plant in PA until their CEO got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar.

That is one nice looking Cornbinder you have there

 

HI
Yea .. I remember M.K. .. There still rebuilding Locomotives here at the spot out Federal Way. Main down town building been gone a long time, building there but its not M.K. anymore.. I can't think if the locomotive rebuild shop is still M.K. tho.. It might be Yanke's now...
Round-d-Round. Boy that was kind of fun.. Tho I had some step-nefues (sp) that were heavy into it (the whole family on there side dad raced a long time) and were champ's in the class I ran but never got any help tho. I was like a fish out of water in the car good ness, did all my own work. Spent a lot of time spinning out comming out of 2 at Merdian. Only raced 5 years In the late 90's. Seamed like I crashed every race, as the saying goes.
"A race car never dies, You just get tired of fixing it."
I got tired of fixing it.. LOL
Yea Thanks... I like my binder. That pic of the is kind of old so now there's some primered spots getting read to repaint.. but it wasn't bad for spray can.. It sure surprises people when it just takes off and is gone when I nail it.
Thanks all and talk at ya later

Welcome from Ocala,Florida........

 

I like that old Comet for a daily driver.

My Mom's in Boise.
The old MK office, isn't that the one where the fountain out front would freeze in the winter?

Tim, I'll bet that you are familiar with Jalopy Jungle in Nampa.

 

Welcome! I dig the truck

 

from mississippi

 

Yes that's the building. good Old Jalopy Jungle.. There tied in to Barger Matson now.. Yea they all are charging $$ just to go into the yard now.
If you mom ever need help I'm always avaiable to help if I can. I donl't know anything about the newer cars, EFI or computers operated cars. But if she has something old I most likely can help..
Take Care

Welcome to the board.

 

Howdy Neighbor. I'm just up the freeway from you. Payette. I you need anything just PM me. I have tons of parts. Its unconfirmed as of yet but I will be the Idaho State rep. for all things Mav/Comet. Look forward to getting together for a car show. In Sept. they have Cruise Night in Payette. Would like to get a mini meet planned.

 

HI Joshua
Sounds good.. What night is your cruise night? is it every week?
You got 302 motor tower's for a mav? I'm going to be needing a pair.
We have a cruise in every saturday night at one of the drive inn's here. Kind of right off the freeway @ orchard and kootanie.

Generally, they have a cruise night every thursday, at the local A&W. But the actual car show is in late Sept and 400 plus car show up. Two mavs and my comet where there in the sea of camaros and mustangs. As far as towers, do you mean motor mounts? Is of right now I don't have motor mounts that I am willing to give up. But I have a parts car the has the tower sheet metal, but dont know of the condition as it still has the motor in?
