After 20 years in the same place, I now find myself having to move across town.  I have collected a few things for "projects" along the way that I now just want to get rid of instead of moving them.  Pics will follow when I can get them out of my wife's camera (which may have just gone to Mexico to cover some off road race).

Olds 455 Logs and snails, polished    $100

Olds 455 windage tray w/ bolts         $40

Ford 460 MSD                                  $100

Ford 460 longbolt logs/snails  UGLY    Best offer

460 valve covers w/ some outside rust    $25

stringer mount foot throttle                 $25

460 PTO  ugly                                     $20

More details to follow at some point.   Still trying to decide if I'm selling a Holley 850 and my stash of Chrysler jetboat stuff.

Nice Mallory dizzy with Accel wires and looms  (forgot if it is Olds or Ford)  $100     

All items are in the I.E. and I would rather not try to ship most of this stuff.   Step right up, Operators are standing by.

I have 3 different homes that need a variety of electrical issues addressed.  1 50 yr old tract home in Corona and another in Redlands.  Also need a ton of things cleaned up in an old Victorian in Redlands.  If there are any honest hardworking electricians looking for work, I think I could keep you buys for a while.
Referrals and/or recommendations are always welcome.
I need this work done ASAP so don't be shy.  I really don't want to just pick a name out of the phonebook.  Oh crap that just dated me didn't it?   Operators are standing by  951.454.1934

I am looking for a place to clean some motorcycle hubs in preparation for painting.  They are cast magnesium.  I also have some bare rims that I need polished.  Anyone have any leads anywhere in the I.E. that won't tear stuff up?

Not mine but I wish it was.  This sucker is built right and priced pretty good too.  Just posted on the D 37 website

Please celebrate accordingly.  And be advised any Budweiser product cannot be considered as beer due to its lack of taste, quality, alcoholic content, and no longer American owned.   That concludes this Public Service Announcement.

Just a heads up about boating local this Saturday.  La Laguna will be hosting professional Water Ski racing and the lake will be closed to public boating.  But the following Saturday the city waives all ramp fees, so get yourself out to Helsinore this weekend and next if'n you can.

An ad from tirebuyer dot cm  was running here the other day.  I'm needing tires on my truck and so I clicked on it.  They had an fantastic price on several great tires for my MegaCab.  They will ship to many major shops in my town for free, or to my house.  And they will give me a discount towards having them mounted if I use one of their shops, of which they had many to choose from.

I know Brad didn't want to bring in the ads and that he has no control of them, but this seemed like a pretty legit way to save some big bucks on an expense that we all have from time to time.  I'm just trying to help y'all spend your money  LOL

This week the original 99 Cent stores have Coppertone spf 30 spray can for  NINETY NINE CENTS !

Despite the new science that says the aerosol lotions are pretty unhealthy for you, I think they convenience with kids trumps that.  I bought a dozen cans yesterday.  That might get them through a year of camping trips and lake runs.  Maybe.  They sure can lose these things fast.

I am on the look out for anything cool that has to do with trucks.  Do you have, or know where I can find, trucks or off road related stuff worthy of being published in a national magazine?  Truck?  Shop?  Tech?  Big inches or lift, tire, or motor?  Let me know about anything that you might think that other people would like to read about.

I have a few friends in the industry who are hungry for truck and/or off road related material to eventually end up in one of several nationally recognized magazines and maybe video.  For now being local to So Cal is helpful although frequent trips to Las Vegas are planned.  Obviously vehicles have to be not only clean but interesting or different enough to stand out, but great shops or products can be good too.

So who wants a few minutes of "fame"?

I can't believe I'm doing this but I have been drinking heavily for hours.  Money is tight and I'm tired of just seeing this boat sit unfinished.  so its kinda of a drunk thread but not. Anyways

A couple years ago on a lark I drove up to Fresno to buy this boat basically unseen.  It ran (Ford460/Berk) and the price was a steal.  He said the pump was new but something quit working on the last outing.  Crawling under it I find a 12 pack wrapper in the grate.  And a ton of stuff wrong with the trailer.  Crossing my fingers we get to So Cal with no trouble.  I'm a happy camper and only $1600 lighter!
Fast forward . . .  Two years ago I spent another $1400 having the trailer completely re-habbed including tires, brakes, bearings, etc.  The motor turned out to be junk but the interiror is good for a year or two.  Rub rail needs some love but not much.  It is brown, which is honestly the only reason I don't put it together.

Two grand for the boat, or $3K for the boat with most of the parts to build a bad ass 460.  So far I have had zero luck posting pics on this site so if it don''t take, Pm me and I can email you one or two.  they aren't great pics but I din't have much to work with today.  I can get more when I'm not quite so looped.   Original everything, dog house is there but side seats are dust.  Solid classic boat, I just don't have the time to work on them both.  Or the money.  Why the hell does it have to be brown?  Why?
Holy crap ~ I think I got this !  thet deservs another Jack n Pepsi dammit

OK, this is the plug in a two stroke dirt bike we are talking about here.   I'm running out of time and you guys are all I got right now.

Sooo will running old (5+months) premix turn a normally nice light tan electrode gray?   I don't have a lot of time to fix problems between now and the race on Saturday and I'm going to change the fuel anyway.  But I am going to have to make time for a jetting season/carb inspection if I change the premix and that DOESN'T return things back to normal.
Somehow I developed a serious case of water in my tank and I have NO friggin idea how it happened.  I mixed it and the raw gas came right out of a 5 gallon drum of VP that I had just bought.   I haven't changed any jetting but I have made a number of suspension and clutch changes.  I really need to focus on them and getting the brake shoes changed out between now and this Saturday.  I would really sleep better knowing that stale gas will cause a tan plug to go gray.

C'mon someone please at least blow some smoke up my ass.

I have a CRF 50 and a CRF 70 that are giving me fits trying to get running.  The little one won't run without the choke fully on, even though it ran fine when parked nearly a year ago.    And the big one has gas coming out of the vent in the bottom of the carb whenever it is running but not when turned off.  The drain screw is closed completely.    Any help?    Anybody want to buy the 50?

Just throwing it out there .  .  .

So I have this boat halfway back together but don't really have the funds to finish it anytime soon.  I spent $$$ on having RiverDad rehab the trailer and it has 5 brand new tires.  The boat has original swim step, interior is very useable but no jump seats, gauges work.  Big plus is aluminum fuel tanks down the sides. Boat ran until the motor broke a year ago.   I bought the boat several years ago but have never used it because of minor wiring and carb problems.  It was bought to be a restored classic but I just have lost interest in having two boats, and frankly this one will never be the beauty  my Wriedt is without a color change.  It is however a Spectra 20 which has got to be one of the all time best jet boats of all time.  Set up for a BBF with a Berkley jet that seems to be in good shape.  Rock solid in the chop and lots of room inside, these really are great boats.
I know someone needs this boat more than I do.  Actually if you were ever thinking about getting into the entry level racing classes it would be an excellent start as one of those too.  I don't want to just give it away and I have already stored it for 4+ years, it ain't no big deal to keep doing so, but I would be interested in talking about a deal for someone on here.   Getting pics is kind of a pain but I'll do it if we talk first.
