Yo!

Howdy

That may not have been the transmission so much as the whopping 50BHP the engine (claimed) to produce...

The earlier ones were advertised as 36hp

EBCFs. There are others?

Ah, ok. Thought so.

I've got a set on my Precision, they're like close to 3 years old now.
I'm quite shocked they still have lots of life left in them.

I've killed the ones on the Birds.

1966 II from the guys I bought the NR from. They told me they bought one and was waiting for them to list it.

What a repair looks like under black light.

No affiliation. Seems a bit much, but it's a list price.
Gibson Thunderbird II 1966 Pelham Blue / Inverness Green | Reverb

That's super optomistic, if I had $4k maybe $4.5k burning a hole in my pocket I might still hesitate, and let it pass.

My Dad pulled a ~21 foot fiberglas boat with his. Not very well.

there are already after market improved magnets and controllers for electric cars…

And a Ford is working on a road that charges the car batteries.

My box of slot cars is jealous.

Hey, look who is here! How have you been?

Not bad! Busy as all hell

But that was a thunderous 36hp.

So, aside from the obvious drag car endeavors, what else have you been up to? Finding much time to play the bass? Any new Tbird or SG acquisitions?

It’s been a while since you’ve been here, I’ve added a couple of birds to the flock but recently decided Gibson wasn’t building what I wanted so I decided to just make one myself, came out pretty good…

Oooo that thing looks slick!

My last musical purchase was Carlo’s 77 Thunderbird, I don’t know if I ever posted about that.

Other than that, got a Harley, been rebuilding the C10, started a new job a couple months ago. And obviously Covid happened and frigged up a bunch of stuff

My Reverse-Non-Reverse was finally finished.

Congrats on the new Job! Is it South of the Border or up in the Tundra?
I’m always up for a nice Bike pic. I’ve come close a couple of times to buying a Harley VRod Muscle but keep backing off because of hand and shoulder issues. LOL - right now I’m not so sure I could handle a moped.
As for birds, a Tbird shot is required in this thread especially on Thunderbird Thursdays!

Today is a good day to post that '77.
And your Harley.

Amen!

Chuck - I really like how sleek and streamlined that came out, very nice looking!
I didn’t realize you had bicentennial pups in it at one time.

Love em all, but that ‘64 is to die for!
And for the record, have you ever thought about becoming a leg model? If not, you should.
