Yes I do, but not in a while. I am a life member there. In the late seventies they needed money, and me, and my freind bought life memberships far $150.00. Not many life members left.

I belong to "for abodiesonly"  also. My name there is barracudadave67, been a member there since 2004. when the weather gets warmer I'll probably start working on my 360 again to put in my "LAST" project, which is a 66 B-Cuda. I also have a 67 B-Cuda CoupeFormulas S, all original, and my 69  "Slickback" 340 B-Cuda. But I'm not getting any younger, and guns are easier to tinker with.

Good to see another car guy in the group. You've got some great stuff there Dave! I'm doing a GM "A" body right now....slowly but surely......65 El Camino. Definitely not original....frame off resto-mod....still a long way to go, but at least it's on the road now. Keep us updated on that 360!

Man, you guys make me miss my car building days. I was never really a muscle car guy, I was always a traditional hot rod kinda guy. This was my last project before I started hurting too bad to work anymore.

My 37 Ford pickup while it was still under construction.

I get to hang out with  the "old school" guys at Bonneville Speed Week most every year. Lots to see on the salt, and lots to see at the nightly car shows at the casinos too. The Rolling Bones guys are awesome to hang out with....and the 12 cylinder Duesenberg at the casino was something just too cool for words.....

I had a '35 Ford 5 window coupe for almost 30 years. Body was stock, rear wheels were reversed 15" Lincoln, front were 15" Mercury. Engine was .030" over-bore small block Chevy, Duntov cam, (final) carb set up was dual 4 barrel carbs. Always wanted to put a 4 speed tranny in it, but family and house come first. Sure miss that car. The last truck I lusted over was an early '30s Dodge p/u, chopped-channeled, Chevy small block, 4 speed tranny, I saw it in the closest small town (Sauk City) last summer. I WANTED that truck, but doubt I could have crawled into the driver's seat! (jh

I finally got down to the basement for awhile today, getting back to 2-3 projects that have been neglected too long.

I mounted and bore sighted a scope on my new coyote rifle, a Ruger American matt stainless in 243 Winchester. Got a couple boxes of factory ammo for it, believe it or not, and a couple boxes of bullets for reloading but now I need to come up with brass for reloading which are very hard to find. Everything is on backorder.

Good luck finding anything for reloading at the present time, unless you want to pay the rip-off prices on gunbroker, and ebay.
Even Amazon has sky high prices on rloading equiptment.

Powder Burn, do a search for the .243 brass you can probably find some, even range brass. Now if you nedd primers, and powder, I can't give you any ideas.
