I put Flat Head V-8 In service 10 years Carb, Ignition, Two new water pumps, all heater hose and service ran strong and just needed a clutch fork, a few glasses and I have access to glass, pulled drive line and did not work on any more, would make a great ride [via]
Go for it.
P.S. The interior is flawless.

Happy Socialism Day – An Opinion
Once May Day was coopted by socialists (to commemorate the 1917 Communist Bolshevik Revolution) President Grover Cleveland sought to distance an observance to honor those who worked in jobs requiring physical exertion. Labor Day was created as a sop to the unions, and it accomplished little except to foment class envy, the lever used by Leftists throughout history.
Labor Day was easily coopted by Unions, who are by definition socialist. Work too hard or too efficiently, you make the sluggards look bad. That’s what I was told, as was my father – work at average or below, nothing more, or you’re out of a job. When the top producers drop to the mean, the mean drops even lower.
There’s something obviously wrong and inherently evil with that credo, and I never bought into it.
Every worker starts out as a pissant. Few workers stay at that level… unless they want to. Who is dumb enough to want long-term minimum wage? I certainly didn’t.
Note that there is no holiday respecting the one institution that supports labor, pays for labor, frees people from impoverished economic slavery and provides step stones to prosperity, and that is Free-Market Capitalism.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is either ignorant or a liar.
BTW, here’s your bratwurst. Mustard’s over there.

2013 Independence Day Parade
The float’s all gassed up and ready to go, and we’ll be at the biggest Independence Day Parade west of the Mississippi tomorrow. (I have a key to the crappers, too).
See you there.
Stolen modified float pic came from here.
UPDATE:
That’s what the float looked like today with a Ding Dong in front of it:
The Tim Conway Jr. Show is worth listening to for the theme song alone. It can be heard online 7-10PM weekdays AM640 KFI.
