Sorry but I had to figure this out. it's bad when you can build web sites but cannot figure out photobucket.

No, it isn't - photobucket is harder [emoticon]

Nice rig, by the way.

1981 Dodge with a 360. Not the nicest one around but it gets the job done and everything works! [image]

ANYONE convert a 440 ...... to use the 413 Industrial heads ?

Nice rigs, guys! Looks like I have the junkiest one of the lot! [emoticon]

I did make a big improvement over the weekend- pulled out the lousy carpet, cleaned the subfloor, 2 coats of adhesion promoting primer, and all new vinyl flooring through out! Plus new throw rugs.

What a difference THAT made! Boy-howdy! The new dinette table gets made today! I wish I could find that apple green laminate...

MBD, what mods would one need to make to put 413 heads on a 440? Shouldn't they still bolt on, despite being B heads (vs RB heads)?

Thanks for the support Leeann, but...I'm still embarrassed, Good Grief!

Did that camara set up come as a package or did you piece it together? How much? That would be Flippin Sweeeeeet for dropping a boat in this orange mammoth of mine. My boat is a PITA if it's not at the right depth when loading....and my young prodigy is often more interested in the bikinis hanging around than helping me?? Wonder where he gets that?

No beauty contest here PW! I gotta neighbor that dropped $60,000.00 on one and has used it once in the last year. His taxes were over a grand this year? And....for all that money....what does he get to fix?? Nothing! He didn't get to pull carpet, lay sub-floor, or tile. No way brother, what fun is that with nothing to break and fix!

Just think... we keep them another 30 years your apple green and my fruit loop orange may be back in style?

My carpet was the Rust/Orange/Yellowish shag - but some nice person bleached it so it's really, really pale orange. We will be replacing it with grey Berber. The rest of the floor was ugly, cheap, brick/stone patterned vinyl, which we will replace with click-lock wood laminate. My countertop/dinette table/backsplash are hideous speckled pink and we're stuck with that (at least for a while).

I bought the camera and receiver for $25 and the monitor for about $90, both on eBay. It's a 7.2" widescreen that normally is a flip-down. We removed the plastic stuff and mounted it upright instead (so we had to turn the camera upside-down). We've got the camera mounted on the roof behind the rear vent in an old security camera enclosure he found in a *cough* dumpster so it's waterproof (the camera is water-resistant, but we wanted a little extra security).

It's really sweet for driving down the road with the trailer - we can see behind the trailer and the lanes on both sides, so no more questions about whether or not it's safe to change lanes. We chose to mount it that way rather than aimed right down at the hitch or just past.

Oh, forgot to say:

Nice rig, hotrod! It may not be the nicest one around, but it sure isn't the junkiest one, either.

And getting the job done is the important part [emoticon]

You know MK and Leeann, we need to meet up somewhere and get pictures off all these 70's relics in one place at one time! Just think of the colors!!!! Oh man, and a black light... [emoticon]

I'll get some pics tonight of the new floor.

I still haven't gotten the new intake and carb (along with a bunch of other van related parts) a fellow Moparts member harvested from a salvage yard near his house for me. We were to meet up Saturday, then Sunday, but nothing came of it. I'll just remain patient! I missed the Iola trip already, so now there's no real hurry.

MBD, if I recall, isn't your rig one of those "Saturday Morning Cartoon" looking pointy-nosed rigs, like a B on steroids? I'd LOVE to see pics of that!!!!!!!!! [emoticon]
