Thanks, we were there with a few friends from Grade School and our kids. A nice family event.

R U OK?

You caught the not putting out a video video. Thanks.

544 Views & no Subs. If there was a dog driving it, that would have gone viral.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage okay I agree. Because I've got a family member that has a few different channels. He can hit a thousand subscribers in a matter of 4 months with a dog channel.

It is basically a modern looking French Trike.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage Pepper's unique but cool

The car is at "Big H. Bricklin" a Bricklin restoration shop south of St. Louis, Mo. the shop owner's name is Howard. I have a video of one of his customers cars I posted a few days ago with the shop's name and number noted. My daughter and I are working on a Video of the shop. Howard also has a website

$1,850, that is all I know for now. I asked if it ran or stopped. Still waiting for a reply.

​@@Blu_Grit_GarageSo did I read that right 1850.00 for this unique machine?

That is what he said, but that was not running. He said he can probably get it running for under $2,000. I think the Museum of Transport will be given first option to buy so more people can enjoy it. If the Museum does not want it then it will go on the open market.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage if you're talking about the national Museum of transportation in St Louis down south my impression is that the weather borrowed than buy. I've only reached out to contact them once. I would like to go there and look around. By the way the mack rubber duck truck from the movie 🍿 in 1977 sitting in the public area.

And I am sure the neighbors love it.

I have a picture of one somewhere that was a Pro Touring one with a Big Block & Flip front end. Huge tires in back that just made the car look shorter.

I have seen Mark off & on for years. He was a photographer for the SCCA & was a Road Racer. He traveled & raced these small British Sports Cars, I believe Bug Eyes, Sprites & MG's

I did not like the cross bar method. This way takes up less space & is easy for one person to do.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage I agree with you. We use them on 2 1/2 and 5 ton trucks in the army 🪖

I can't math, we are 22 shy of half way there. Close enough for Government work.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage how much look at your numbers wrong I thought you were a little past 2:50. Master banner 3 and I saw it as an 8 or something. But still you are making great progress

My dog likes to play and make games of things. I can see Violet liking that puzzle!

Thanks for the input. I was not sure how long ago emery cloth was invented. First time I saw one of these. Sounds like it is about the same age of that coil tester I posted. Came from different people.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage I believe you're right. Emery cloth and sandpaper been around since the 13th century. At least Emory paper has been.

I will check them out, thanks,

I was wondering if you got my previous reply. I replied from my I-Phone & now I am on my laptop & I do not see a reply.

@@Blu_Grit_GarageI see a separate comment on the video, but this looks like the only reply.

Yes it is. I bought her Bear Spray because she found Bear Scat on the walk. She also saw a Bob Cat earlier in the week so she might have to be careful with her dog. Food on a leash.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage I grew up around coyotes bobcats and a few wolves. I saw Bear tracks a couple of winters ago. I've seen a cat numerous times over the last few years. Beautiful and golden. All are dangerous and even deadly

Yup, the housing is painted & the center section is apart waiting for bearings & races so the Limited-Slip can go in. I will have to figure out how to put it back together.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage that all sounds great

And since I am old & uncoordinated I tied it to the ceiling so I would not knock it over.

Funny you mentioned a DeLorean. I saw a Cyber Truck yesterday that is also Stainless Steel, but it was painted or wrapped White. Wonder how many DeLoreans were painted or wrapped after a wreck?

My friends dad had a Possum like that.

Kind of does.

I have to look up the difference between a Hare & a Rabbit.

I have to look up the difference between a Hare & a Rabbit,

Turns out that Bricklins were in at least a half dozen films. one disturbing movie I remember was "Demon Seed".

I think the Saab Sonnet III from 1970 looks a lot like a scaled down version of the Bricklin if you stick that big bumper in the grille.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage I can see that. Now that you mentioned it. Good eye.

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 Yesterday I took off work & had a goof-off day with Anna. We got some footage from a large local Classic Car Dealership & also visited the Brickland Restoration Shop mentioned in the last video. These video's will need a lot of editing so hopefully we can post them in a week or so. Trying to post something every day to get the 500 Subs, in time.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage thank you doing pretty good on you climb. Talking about the number of subs. I remember how long it took me to hit 500. I started putting on there in a post. Who's going to be my 250th? I did that when I was within about 15 of the 50th and 100 marks. It worked. I haven't done it in a while I just hadn't thought about it. There's a classic restoration and I think dealership as well south of St Louis on highway 55. I'm pretty sure it's on highway 55. I don't know the name of it. I tell you what. Do you ever get over in the vicinity of Joplin Missouri? Tell him to say because I protect his fellas right to privacy. How no one else has ever covered them that I've ever seen, I don't know! He does it all he's been around a long time. If I say too much then other people will figure them out who he is. But I realize it's a long way from St Louis. See I like going to Oklahoma and Southern Kansas. So Joplin is right in the area. I can share a few with you if you would truly go out there. Side note. Another old junkyard been around for nearly a hundred years is done. It's cleared out completely. Well there is one old tow truck. And whatever may be left in the buildings. He made a pretty good offer to me on a couple of lots in those buildings.

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 I have not been that way since pre-Covid. I used to go on Father's Day weekend to Tulsa for the SAAC (Shelby American Automotive Club) event. A Cruise, Road Racing, Drag Racing & MCA Show. I don't think we will be making it back that way anytime soon. I will look into those other shops down south, Frisco Hill, Mann's & Griffin.

Similar, the GT-2 looks better than the original in my opinion.

The long videos do not seem to get the viewers. I will try to get useful automobile related shorts out, but the non car related ones get the most views. I cant believe the Bunny short got over 10,300 views & 20 subs.

Just re-checked, over 10,500 views & 15 subs. Was going off my memory, but my brain is not what it used to be..

I am still trying to figure this UA-cam thing out. The Bunny Short Analytics show over 10,600 views & 21 subs so I guess that is the latest & greatest. Look 3 different places & get 3 different answers.

The Early 80's Granada & Monarchs had the beefier truck housings, but the 57 Ford housings are fine. I believe the Center Section & Axles are more what you should pay attention to.

Thanks, I have a universal Tech Short out this morning. I am curious how that will do.

Peaceful, a little scary finding Black Bear Scat on the trail. Like a Good Girl Scout she is prepared.

They are out with Shears clearing the Trails for Guests.

More work for dad!

Nothing that cannot be accomplished with a big hammer. That is how they managed to fit a Small Block Ford into a Sunbeam Tiger.

Thanks for the comment & support. A friend is coming over in a couple of weeks to do a video of installing a limited slip.

@@Blu_Grit_Garage Sweet 👍💯👍

The Rabbits (Hares) come and pick what they want out of the garden, no Iceberg. Thanks for the reply.

A little long, but Anna was not in the mood to edit so late at night. BTW we put out a short of my sister calling a wild rabbit to come to her and it got over 10,000 views & 18 Subs. Nothing to do with Garages other than the rabbit being beside one. Kind of disheartening, but I will take it for Subs.

@@Blu_Grit_GarageI put heart and soul into a Louisiana road trip. Best video I’ve ever done. Hardly any views. I have a two minute video of drunks getting kicked out of a football game…. 250,000+ views. We’ve got to make peace with the fact that the more sophisticated the content, the fewer people there are who will appreciate it. But you can grow it and you’re doing great!

@@johnwilburn I guess part of it is people just don't have much free time. I work a full time job, take care of my elderly parents after work 3 nights a week till 11:00pm & most of the day Saturday while working on the Channel & Maverick. (Not on the Maverick as much as I would like).

@@Blu_Grit_GarageViewers have short attention spans. That’s why shorts are even a thing.

I will have to look that one up, thank you.

She does now that you mentioned it.

Thanks for the nice comment.
