Another friends car at Saturday's show. '39 Chev built by a friend (since deceased) and currently owned by a mutual friend who did the body and paint work at his home shop. He's a damn good painter considering it's just a hobby.

The engine compartment reminds me of a professionally dressed woman who's true intentions are exposed by her underwear when the business suit comes off.

 

[hermosabeach]

Ah yes, when men were men and only pink lunged sissies didn't smoke.

My uncle did a high school graduation deferment, joined the Navy and went off to the tail end of WW2.

Everyone who smoked got a break to go topside. No smoke=no break.

So everyone smoked.

We cut up two of those to build modified stocks back in the day. Not to mention the old Ford coupes we cut up too.. I hope St. Peter is not an old car fan or I'm gonna have some trouble talking my way in.

I would not let that nasty water touch me unless I was getting paid five figures per occurrence.

use antifreeze much, the rust on the water jacket is scaley

I spent 5 days in an Air Force hospital in 1976. Believe it or not, we could smoke in bed from 0730 to 2100 hrs. At 0730, ambulatory patients were required to make up their beds. After making up the bed, the patients could get back in it.

Anyone know if they still practice that?

Oh, please!

 

[Longshot231]

Oh, please!

I swear that it's true.

Don’t know if you know what this... but it is the actual team room door from LL’s Marine recon scout sniper platoon.... that’s some amazing historical stuff right there!! If that door could talk!!!

Cheers, Sirhr

So let me understand, this door is mounted in lowlights house? So the door knob to the left of the door is for normal height people?

 

[EddieNFL]

Oh, I believe it's true. Just couldn't believe you thought it might still be.

They use a modified version of this.

Are those kiesterable? What a convenient place to keep lunch!

I guess you're right. That stuff probably went out with the khaki uniforms.

Not long after. 1505s disappeared around '78, '79. You could still smoke in most areas until sometime in the early '80s (if my memory is correct). By the time I retired, it was frowned upon and you were restricted to specific areas. Fortunately, I had quit years prior.

I suppose one could kiester it if they had room.

I wore the 1505s right up until the last day they were authorized. Seems like a million years ago.

We could also smoke and drink adult beverages at Commander's Call.

The "Air Force Now" movies could either put you to sleep or give you some comic relief. We had a Squadron Commander that gave us short speech during Commander's Call.

After his speech, he said; "I am required by Air Force Regulation to show you the movie 'Air Force Now."

He then proceeds to hold the reel up over his head and said, "You have now seen the movie, 'Air Force Now.' Dismissed."

Same with fatigues in the '80s. Was at SQ HQ the last day they were authorized and the commander asked, "Are those still legal?"

I got chewed out for wearing jungle boots and told to take them off.

When I asked why they said, "cause you ain't in the jungle."

I remember, during basic training, we were told that we could convert the 1505 pants to knee high shorts and go to clothing issue to get a pith helmet. This was authorized only after completing basic training.

Nobody ever cut their pants into shorts or requested a pith helmet. I regret not getting the pith helmet. It would make a heck of a collector's item today.

 

[Snuby642]

Pith helmet and shorts what kind of outfit was wearing that?

 

[Soulezoo]

Pith helmet and shorts what kind of outfit was wearing that?

The "Pyramiders" when in Benghazi.

 

[Jefe's Dope]

I was thinking this:

But it was likely more like this:

?

 

[Soulezoo]

^^^^so gay.

 

[Longshot231]

^^^^so gay.

That is why nobody wore the shorts or pith helmet but before you laugh at the Air Force...

 

[Snuby642]

USAF 1977-1982 all I had was o d geen fatigues and dress blues.

The dress uniform sucked compared with other branches.

I could not agree with you more. The USAF dress uniform was inspired by Ralph Kramden

 

[Snuby642]

Yes at multi service functions we looked bad it embarrassed me.

At least we know where the Navy got their idea for the dress white uniform:

 

[Snuby642]

I participated in a wedding of my friend, he wore his full dress marine uniform saber and all.

Now that was impressive.

 

[Mooncake]

Yeah, the Marine's dress uniform is easily the best.

1972 at the Phila Naval hosp. there was a ward of marines with chronic active hepatitis from shooting Drugs in Nam, and they sat on their beds and smoked all day...until their liver enzymes came down ,and then back to duty.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Don't you know the apostles were all in one Accord? Acts 5:12

Yeah I would need a new set of leathers after that

I bought the 455 to put in my 66 Oldsmobile. The price was right for the engine and transmission and the rebuild was always the plan. The only thing that really mattered to me was that it turned over. Once stripped, cleaned and honed the block it's probably going to get a Edlebrock package. 500 horses and a shit ton of torque to move my 4 thousand pound car.
The 400 Turbo Transmission will be built to handle the power. The company that built my last driveshaft will get to do another one. Their last one has held up to 400 ft lbs for sometime.
Oldsmobile is new to me so I have not decided yet on the rear end yet. But that's usually the weak link in the power train.
The easiest way to fix the problem is to use tires that spin instead of hooking.
Like gun powder...... love me some smoking rubber smell.
