We'd all heard that there was a drug problem in Detroit, obviously this cinches it. On a positive note at least you can tell where all the rust through is!

FINALLY got around to hooking up the manual choke one the Galaxie the other day, sure does make it easier to start on a cold day!! Later on I'll convert it to an electric choke. I've been working on dummying up the hydroboost for it; I bought an extra under dash brace and brake pedal for the car so I can figure out the mounting without having to take the car out of service. I need to space the hydroboost out away from the firewall to get the correct placement using the stock hydroboost push rod. I figured I'd be better off not modifying the hydroboost in case I ever need to replace it. So far it "seems" as if this will actually be straight forward.
You could not give me that wreck. Now, $4K my way and I will haul it off.

Not a damn thing salvageable on that one, maybe the back 2ft of it. Nothing else....
1 door and it is not on the car.
What are these idiots smoking. It has to be the good

I’d run that motor all day on the corn juice. Cheap and everywhere in this part of the country.

I’m considering doing the Hot Rod Power Tour this year.

There’s nothing to consider. Do it for me if you’re not gonna do it for yourself.

Ok. I’ll do it in your honor. Paint your face on the side and everything.
That takes way to many mods to make it work reliably. Not something you can just throw in the tank.

Meh. I’d have to do a whole fuel system anyway for that kind of motor. Get one rated for the stuff and drop on an E85 carb.

Definitely do it! A buddy of mine did it a couple of years ago and had a ball. The only complaint he had was the lack (perceived) of early iron. Too many late models with AC, power windows and killer stereos. Not enough temperamental early iron with 460 AC and pipes you could hear in the next county!
Yup. I have friends that run the stuff. It is a bit more work or so it seems.
I put my time in running methanol in the race cars. Pickle them if they are gonna set for a spell. Get-em back out and clear the system, change the oil, plug in the oil heater, put in the hot warm up plugs, get the cold natured SOB fired and warm. Put the race sparklers in it. Hang on.
Not that much to run E-85 I know but screw that.
