Those thunderbolts are the thing of legend. Held drag records across the states well into the 70s. They built the Boss 302 mustang to try and trump them, failed haha. Balls to taking the fairlane on track, just getting throigh each day is scary enough.

I've included it in the deal with the fairlane. The deals kinda done, but not happening till autumn time as I've got a shed load on at the minute, and the current owner wants to do the rest of the show season in it which suits me too. It's not that big anyway, only 19ft....

So about a year ago, this came up for sale down in Plymouth area.. I pissed about for too long and missed out.. Went to the hot rod meet last night and there's a guy there with a 51 Cadillac convertible, talking to him for a looping time and he mentions his 58 mercury. I think nothing of it and keep talking about the fairlane and his Cadillac, then he mentioned his mercury station wagon on air. So I asked about it some more and he shows me a picture and it's that car. I asked him a bit about it and got chatting and he tells me he's looking to swap for something different. I offer him the fairlane as a PX and he's really into it. Swapped numbers and he's gonna call me in the morning.. Long story short I've just bought a f**king sick station wagon on air.

Yeeeeeeeeah. Good work Sam. Went to a hotrod/yank car meet last night, really enjoyed it!

Massive spotty crack. Took the fairlane out today and smashed about 60 miles, used a little water but I think I've got a colaping bottom hose, the symptoms would suggest so I'll swap out when I get the electric fan on along with all the other hoses, new rad and water pump. Ran like a dream though, I think the issue has been underlying since I bought the car to be honest, it's never ran so smooth and it goes like a rocket.

Found it... Took the inlet off and decided to do it right so took the carb off to get to all the bolts torqued properly and in order. Noticed when I'd took the carb off there was 2 vacuum take off blanking bullets that were bone dry and cracked - found the leak... Replaced with folded over rubber hose filled with rtv paste. New hoses throughout too and it's great. Runs like a beauty and goes like a train. Sounds fantastic too! Don't think it's ever been right so it's a pleasant surprise!

I've always been abit bummed out regards not being a traditionally good looking lad, I've always had good looking girlfriends and the woman I'm gonna marry in 2 months is a 100% smokeshow. Recently for the wedding I've lost abitta weight, shaped up abit and found my 'style' if you like. Feeling good about it and got a good vibe from a few women in the bars last night which was a waste of time but super sick.

No Builders crack ahoy!

Heady gasket done... Been a run around the block and it has a huge air leak somewhere. I don't think the inlet has sealed to the heads so I'll whip it off tomorow and get some RTV round it too. Casualty - one back where t shirt and shorts didn't meet..

Some wank stain walking home from the pub slumped outside my house leaning on a lampost shouting "ITS COMING HOME" is not the one.

Yeah but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to read a date and realise it's old content. f**king Linda, stupid whore.

f**ks sake Linda

Struggle is real.

What the hell happened to that blade?! It'll be a full on inception moment when you try to cut a blade in half.

Absolute bliss....

Stag do this weekend... LADS LADS LADS BOYS ON TOUR WEEEEEEEY LADS LADS. 3 days narrowboating in Leighton buzzard

To follow on from this I've just had a water pump, and gaskets turn up in a box, upper and lower dad hoses in separate boxes and all the clamps I need in 2 boxes...

I love RockAuto, order 300 quid worth of stuff, over 20 components and they ship them all individually. Even single gaskets...

New gigantic TV, so watching Wonder Woman in 4K. Dunno what gives me more of a rod on, Gal Gadot or the epic picture

Mega bump... 2 sessions has created this.. All work by the incredible Sam Ford at Silver Needles. Super pleased with it, one more session to finish up the tiki and the hibiscus.

Didn't even see that bit, Jesus what a mong

Amazing. Gotta agree with Dan though, stop trying to f**k suicide girl types and just find a normal girl.

Had an awesome few weeks, bought some nice stuff, done some good paying work for a solid customer who pays when he collects, had a wedding planning meal with the family and the in-laws, back for my second tattoo sitting in a week, had a measure for my wedding suit saturday and just done some cool things. The past few weeks has really taught me work smart not hard, it's really paying off too!

Saw that on facebook then lost it on my feed, looks awesome Mike! Perfect timing
