Our 2017 SoCal vacation

[SASSY]

So, It's raining like crazy here in SoCal so thought I'd go through the annoying act of getting some pics on Photobucket so I can post them here.
Man, what has happened to P, Bucket, recently it has been a b!tch to use!!!
There rant done!

We're gonna need a truck section!!

After I seen that thread figured I should add to that thought!!
Was out for a bicycle ride the other day and besides seeing these old trucks and this wore out hens tooth, ran into Sammy!!
Met Sammy through Tony in 2014, we attended several car shows together when I had Sassy down here.
We talked about Roy Pool who yes, is in some part responsible for Sammy's TIDY Falcon drag car.
Here is Sammy's workin ranch, has had it for a couple years. He put a 5speed behind the 177 and says it's the answer for workin.
350 gears in the back allows him to keep up off the line in traffic and runs 70 mph at 1900 rpm.

Those are some nice rides. I also like the town name. I never knew there was a town named Caliente. Someone ought to drive their Caliente out there and park in front of the sign and take a picture.

[poboyjo65]

Loman there is a Caliente Nevada too, fairly close to Mercury Navada, both are fairly close to area 51.

Hey Johno, this pic is on the west side of Caliente NV. Is on Hwy 93 not far north of Vegas.
We went through it on our way from Twin Falls id. to Vegas.

Sorry Fred I thought you were in Caliente California. Mercury is west of Vegas.

So there's this hotrod shop down Wisconsin St. from the 101 here in O'side.
I've been hanging around the front of the shop till a fella came up and twisted my arm to come in and look around,,, lol
All kinds a neat stuff goin on!
He ended up giving me a tour so ya know me I was taking pics.
This is just the Ford stuff, tons a other stuff too.
Ron, the engine bay pic is for you,, ya see it?
Thanks to Poboyjo for introducing me to Postimg,, way easy and quick!
A few more local drivers at the bottom

Your welcome Fred ,but thank Comethead ,he is the one who put me on it. it doesn't hang up or run slow like pbucket.Thanks for the pics ,keep them coming! I think out Pop will like the name of that shop!

[popscomet]

I DO LIKE THE NAME of that shop,,for sure,,,and in my younger days I owned and drove a black mercury like that one ,mine wasn't that shiny,but it did have a flat head with alumn intake and 2 carbs,,,and a foxcraft floor shifter !!

I knew Pops would like the name of that shop. Some nice fords.
I see the eps motor looks kind of like a Saturn unit. never seen one installed like that. Hard to tell, is that connected to a rack or direct to the centerlink? I hope he plans to put a boot over it to keep water out. Looks awful close to the ground, could be vulnerable.

Am interested in this trick to make pics easier and faster. Getting a little anoyed with PB.

Hope you guys are enjoying the weather. Do you miss the cold and snow?? I wouldn't.
