I got a squeeakin squawker.
my speedometer cable is a squowkkkin'

when I drive down the boulevard, it sounds like I'm torturing a baby chicken. its a blood curdling squocking shriek , deafenin squocking noises.

driving home in reverse doesnt help.
the train horn fails to drown out the squawk.


i need to unhook my speedometer cable.
i suppose i can look it up in the book, but if you have handy hint , i'm all ears.

back on the streets
sittin on 3 switches -


- front bags, back bags , kill switch -

and 2 buttons - flames and train horn !!! NEW!!









after a semi lengthy rebuild of the drive shaft
and new U joint
look out rat racers

prefer not to have to build one !

i'll be in the back seat.

everybody was excited to see a Packard
and the cops were extra excited to see raw flames

the choke got stuck open in the middle of the parkin lot

no big deal, couple old timers pushed the car out the way

and then some real old old timers grabbed my tools and gave me a top notch tune up. shes runnin better than ever
