I will share two more pictures they are of a bike. This is my boss' 76 Bultaco Astro. He bought it semi-restored and completed it ( paint and machine work on the engine were done by someone else but he built it). He used to race one just like it in the 70's but lets another guy race this one. If you have been to the flat track races at the Marion County fairgrounds in the past couple of years, chances are you have seen it in person.

We got a solution for my bosses 67 Vette. The calipers that were on it had been rebuilt with stainless sleeves before, but they didn't a ****ty job. Asked the boss if he wanted to have his rebuilt or get an upgraded caliper. He said the car was good, but not that good to consider rebuilding the originals. He just wants it to stop.

Wilwood offers these bolt up one using the original rotors and hardware. I'll finish up the install next week hopefully, barring we don't need more parts...

If there are any Roadkill aficionado's. The newest Stubby Bob episode is one of the best yet. INSANE.

As soon as I saw your post (Before reading it) I knew that was a Bull. Damn fine bikes.

Rare truck here. For a few years it was possible to get a GMC truck with a Pontiac v8 engine. They don't come along very often. I'd love to have one someday.

Unless they are some iteration of an Ardun head. Some Olds engines had 3 port heads.

No trickery. That's an F6 dually doing a full-on, hitch-dragging wheelstand.

Received our replacement radio for the roadrunner today. The original 8-track is kinda pointless to put in this particular car. If it was a complete numbers matching build, the 8-track seems rather rare. The new radio is a reproduction of the AM/FM, but this one is all electronic and is WAY smaller. Has blue tooth, AV jacks and 3.5mm jack. Way cool.

Maybe Tornado drive gear with a reverse rotation cam. Of course, It's late and I probably miss-spelled most everything.
