The Tecnacraft wheels have proved next to impossible to find. Marwan make reproductions of the square-block tires but I've not had much luck with the Tecnaraft wheels or any others that look like original Cragar wheels. In keeping with an 80's truck look, following is the best that I've come up with...

Making some progress on this build. Definitely not a beauty queen. 😁 But it is going to be a strong runner. Decided to go with a 10T nose plate and a spare 3Dprinted front arm mount leftover from my Detroit buggy build. RPM arms and a trimmed shock towers (top was split) are added. An old set of alu...

Bozo was just slightly before my time. I know of him, but his program was no longer on. You callin' me old?? :lol: :lol: It was on WGN before school. Kids would win a prize based on how many buckets they could land a ping pong ball in. If you made it to the last one you won a bike. A Schwinn if I r...

Turns out that the entertainment industry pushed for copyright protection and ended the era of being able to record with a VCR, which turned them into players only, or VCP. This reminded me that we used to put a tiny piece of duct tape over the hole on the back of a music cassette so we could recor...

I wonder if Bozo was more of a local program than national. I believe so. Based out of Chicago and available on WGN if you had cable. I was neither in Chicago nor had cable back in the day. In fact, I didn't have cable until around the mid-00's when my roommate upgraded from phone line to cable int...

I have to vote for hair spray. It just seems like such an appropriate use of beauty products. I have a 4 barrel, magneto ignition potato gun that's been sitting unfinished for 26 years or so. Really, that coincides with when I no longer had access to a suitable firing range. Back in the day, I purc...

I wonder if Bozo was more of a local program than national. I believe so. Based out of Chicago and available on WGN if you had cable. It was a local program. Ken, I'm surprised you got in Evansville. But yeah, I dreamed to be on the show and watched it before school. Loved that creepy ass clown.

I remember Bozo being on before school....dreamed of going on there and being one of the little kids that got a $50 bill.

Can't remember why they got $50, but that was the memorable part of the show for me. They didn't hand out $50's on other shows!

So good!!

Before the cable, which my family got pretty quick, we had NBC (12), ABC (8), CBS (6), and PBS (UHF 23) for the most part. When Fox (35) popped up, it was like a whole new world arrived!!

Shocks built using SRS cartridges and MIP internals. The internals are held in by a snap ring.

I'm not sure on shock spring color. I had sourced front and rear shock sprinks in black, for a cleaner look. However colored springs just seem to suite an SE.
