October 15, 200718 yr Sold for Grits and have pics to prove it...Backwoodsboy and Darlingchip just left to go back to NY after picking up Bucky.. They got tossed off the Taconic State Parkway for having a trailer but we were able to get them here.We loaded up the car..I fed them some slow cooker Chicken and Dumplins and we finished the deal. I hope they check in when they get back to let me know the trip went OK..anyway..here are the pics: Honestly...sold for grits: and the Buckster on the trailer:
October 15, 200718 yr mmmm, chicken n' dumplings, was going to have that for dinner tonight as well, but mom wasnt feeling up to making it good to see that bucky went ot a good home. i know how hard thats has got to be to give up the one that you love. stay strong connie.
October 15, 200718 yr Name change to Rocky88 in order? I can't eve imagine letting my Brumby go.. I guess it has to happen sometime.
October 15, 200718 yr Well, we made it! A few minor turn arounds (and MAN that dodge is thirsty!) ....but we're here! Made ONE quick stop at McDs for a coffee (and to show off some shiny subiness in the parkinglot) THANK YOU CONNIE!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: .....anybody got any GRITS? (I am currently out of stock.)
October 15, 200718 yr Author Yes.. I was sad to see him go and the driveway seems so empty now...but like I told John and Jess.... I would rather see the car used then just sitting around..He still has some good miles left in him and for being an east coast car all his life..is in pretty good shape. It was kinda hard yesterday when I was washing him..telling him whats going on...but all if fine and he approved cause when John started him up to load him on the trailer...no ticky ticky and he just purred quietly. I had to laugh after warning John about the grabbiness of the new clutch;) Bucky couldnt have gone to a better home ..thats for sure..and I am happy about it!
October 15, 200718 yr glad it went to a good home. i had to sell one of my babys this last week also the 69 olds was beasty looking ion the trailor tho . but i have an emty feeling in me. i guess its what you got to go through.:-\ rob:burnout:
October 15, 200718 yr i guess its one thing to have one project car and one daily driver. Or to try and fix up your daily driver. I had a 73 monte carlo which i loved. I loved taht car. I only drove it during summers. My mom got remaired and told me i had to get rid of the car. Soon after that my girlfriend broke up with me and i didnt have anywhere to keep it. Under stress and severe depression i sold it. For a pitiful 1300 bucks. Soon after that the guy i sold it to choped the roof off and tried to make a lowrider out of it. I have seen it a couple times since then striped sitting on blocks in the back of a shop. Not to say that this is going to happen to bucky which im sure it wont. I guess what im getting at is there are always ones you regret letting go. Theres always the ones you dont want to let go. But sometimes youve got ot do what youve got to do. Ben
October 15, 200718 yr Author Came home from work and everything just felt and looked empty....the driveway.. I went out to the garage and there hung his old licence plates. But I do NOT regret my choice...John even said he thinks his Mom might take Buck over ..she had one just like him..so i will be curious at her reaction. I really need to find myself another one soon...can't see life without an EA82
October 16, 200718 yr Connie, Bucky made it home in one piece....on the other hand the dodge didn't:eek: We lost a piece of the exhaust:rolleyes:
October 16, 200718 yr We got him home ..... and started right in. AXLE PARTY! The end result Dont worry Connie...... He's in good hands! We got BOTH front axles changed. ....also thinking strongly about putting some REAR axles in as well (pics updated daily!)
October 16, 200718 yr Author HAHAHAHA I told you those axles were shot!!!...Glad he is home..looks pretty happy next to that Brat if you ask me. As for the Dodge..what do you expect?? Its a Dodge:grin:
October 16, 200718 yr Jess looks like she's having a ball playing with in the goop:grin: NICE --->Vehicles: BUCKY92! 86 lifted BRAT
October 16, 200718 yr Jess looks like she's having a ball playing with in the goop:grin: I wouldn't say just playing.... she did the (harder) driver's side axle. You keep what you kill:grin:
October 16, 200718 yr Author You keep what you kill:grin: Dress it and toss it in the slow cooker!!! :lol:
October 16, 200718 yr ummm i really don't know what you guys like to cook but I am not eating that axle......... Yes I was having tons of fun with that axle and the grease is still in my fingure nails until I cleaned it out with my knife:eek:
October 16, 200718 yr Author Hey..you are doing better then me..I still have yet to do an axle..lucky you..have John to show ya how
October 16, 200718 yr I am more than happy to rent john out for some of your cooking:grin: He is a really good teacher and very patient when I am just about to swear at it he will give me a chance to cool off before he asks if he could help. LOL
October 17, 200718 yr Reminds me to do the d/s axle on my Turbo Wagon. It looks just like that second one. Looks like Bucky is in good hands. Yes I was having tons of fun with that axle and the grease is still in my fingure nails until I cleaned it out with my knife:eek: I'm going to feel like less of a man by saying this, but I wear latex gloves while working on my car. Keeps the fingernails clean for the ladies.
October 17, 200718 yr I wear latex gloves while working on my car. Its not a bad idea really..... my only problem is finding gloves that I dont rip to shreds in the first minute.
October 17, 200718 yr Usually the only time I wear latex gloves is when I do axles/boot/CV's. Man, what a messy job, as Darling Chip demonstrates :-p
October 17, 200718 yr I sometimes wear nitrile gloves, and sometimes my leather "mechanic" gloves. Depends on how nasty the job is. For fine work I often have to remove them anyway. GD
October 17, 200718 yr Hey Connie, Sorry for the loss. But you should be happy knowing it's in good hands!! And BWB, You wife is a keeper!!! I don't know to many woman that like to get dirty and work on cars!! Your lucky..... Anyhoo good luck with the buckster......
October 17, 200718 yr Author I dont wear glove cause I like to feel what I am doing.....Anyway..Glad you guys are having fun with Buck...I have now come to the conclusion that I have no reason to post on the Old school forum anymore...WOW ..just thought of that:-\.
October 17, 200718 yr Stay strong Connie! You can come visit anytime you want. (he MAY make an appearance at spring Carlisle) Ill send ya a few more pics tomorrow. :cool:
