  1. Yea, I knew Ford didn't install any but their was a few custom car shop in Detroit that would like Kar Kraft. I was not much on Fords back when I was a kid. I was a Mopar nut and love those Hemi's.................
  2. I use to have a guy that lived down the road from me that had five of the old chargers in a field behind his house and when they were looking for more parts cars they paid him some big bucks for the five he had and sent a crew out to pick them up.
  3. Welcome to TGO. Hope you enjoy your stay. Take a look around. TGO has a lot to offer.........
  4. I had to laugh when you mentioned the 460 lifting the front tires just before breaking a rear axle or driveshaft. The drive train had so much torque that I saw a couple of them actually pull the Pinion gear out through the front of the differential housing. They were notorous for that only because they would not put the 9 inch hog head rear diffrentials in the Mustangs and traction ladders to stablize the rear end and stop the wheel hop they had. All the Mustangs had wheel hop with a v-8 engine in the early years and it took Carroll Shelby to show them how to correct the problem when he built the first fast back Shelby Cobra with the 429 CID engines in them. A kid in my home town had his dad buy him one of the first Shelby's and it was so fast the kid was afraid of it and I don't think he ever really opened it up to see what it was capable of. I moved south so never did find out what he did with it.............LOL
  5. Good start and bet the finished product looks fantastic. Look forward to seeing the finished product...............
  6. I wouldn't enter the woods going to and from my stand and any moving I might do back when we owned the farm and was still wearing it when I retired from hunting. My son and grandsons all wear the orange when they are hunting my sons property since until this year he had poachers. The poachers are gone but they still all wear the orange when they go in the woods. If I was a farmer these days I would do like Chris and put my dogs in orange and if I had cattle or horses I would have a big orange X painted on both sides of them. I have not had any friends get their dogs shot but have had a few get horses and cows shot over the years. Better to be safe than sorry...............
  7. Thats a wall hanger for sure along with some great eating..............
  8. I love the old car chase movies. Bullet was good, Dirty Harry Crazy Mary was a great movie, Vanishing Point was another good one, and then can't forget the Blues Brothers even though it was funny, it had some great car chases. Some of the newer movies with Vin Diesel and that Black Charger were good also. Love that wheel stand he did in one of them. Dodge Chargers have been used in quit a few old Hollywood car chase movies. And then there was the the miracle Charger in Dukes of Hazard. I read that they had to have 5 old Chargers and hundreds of spare parts for them to keep making the program. At one point they were advertising for any old junk Dodge chargers people wanted to sell they would buy them. They said they had 1 good one for the car chases on the roads and rebuilds that they had repaired after they made those jumps because in most cases the entire front suspension had to be rebuilt and fenders and hoods straightened so they could use them again.
  9. If it does not rain out there pretty soon there won't be any California left except a big pile of ashes. I do feel bad about all the people that are missing from the fires and the many homes, businesses and even small towns that are being lost in the flames. I don't think Trump can throw enough money into the state to stop the fires.
  10. Let me start off by saying congradulations on the new addition to your family!! I know this might not fall in the catagory your looking for but let me say this. When I was brought here to Tennessee from Illinois at age 16 to live on my Grandfathers Farm/Ranch I didn't own a deer rifle but had been hunting small game since age 10 so was not unfamilar with hunting. My Grandfather ask me one day if I had a deer rifle and I said no sir. He didn't say anything but just turned and walked away. About 10 minute later he came back and handed me a Winchester model 94 and said every boy should have a deer rifle in Tennessee. I went the next day and bought two boxes of ammo and went out in a cut down corn field and put up some targets. A buddy of mine that lived down the road from me went along. Well, needless to say the recoil was about like a 12 guage 3 inch Mag round which I was not really expecting and it hit my shoulder fairly hard. My buddy Wayne told me I needed to make sure I had it tucked into my shoulder better. We had put the targets out about 60 yards and my grandfather had told me to put the target on top of my front sight when I went to practice. Well, was shooting at 8 inch pie pans placed on a couple bales of hay stood on end. Out of a box of 20 rounds I had 12 hits for sure but a couple looked like I may have put a second round through a previous hole. That deer season I managed two deer hunting with Wayne and his brother Tom. Over the years I killed a lot of deer with that old 30/30. I still own it and It will be my Sons someday. He did grow up using it to hunt with and killed his first several deer with it. He began hunting deer at age 11 and he used the gun to bag I think he said 14 deer before he went to a 30-06 Winchester Bolt gun but the gun was passed down to his oldest son when he began hunting and he killed 16 deer with it before he stepped up to a 308 Savage model 110 bolt gun & scope. My Son and daughter in law thought there would be no more children but sometimes things happen. A new addition showed up after his older brothers were 18 & 16. His name is Logan. Well when he was 10 years old his oldest brother began taking him small gamehunting to see how he would react. Needless to say the 30/30 had one more hunter left in her and at age 12 Logan bagged his first buck on a juvenile hunt with the 30/30. He is now 15 and has began looking for more range and has been shootng his fathers 30-06 but wants a 243 so that will be coming from Santa Claus this year. I know you weren't expecting a book report but it all really goes back to a family heir loom hand me down issues. That gun was bought new by my Grandfather back when he was a young man and since then it has been a deerslayer through 6 different family members. It remains in my oldest grandsons gun safe waiting for the next generation. There has been another 30/30 Marlin added to the batch of deer rifles in the family only because someone wanted one with a scope. Good luck with what you deside for your future deer hunter. If it is a hand me down from his father it will mean that much more over the years.
  11. Of course any Sheriffs in any state that goes against the anti gun politicians won't get the press they deserve for defending the Constittion and 2nd Amendment. The people that elected their Sheriffs need to be commended for picking a man/woman that will uphold the oath they took to stand by and support the Constitution. It tells the anit-gun politicians that the citizens of America has a Constitution that was written for the people by the Founding Fathers and not for the politicians to tread on like it does not exist. We need a lot more Sheriffs and and maybe some Governors should start speaking up and saying NOT IN MY STATE!! Maybe inventual those gun grabbers in DC will get the message that the Constitution is the LAW of THE LAND and not them and their big money people............JMHO
  12. I don't know?? He's a city Police chief and the city overwhelmingly voted against it so I doubt the city council, police Commisioner or Mayor will be to fast at firing him over refusing to act on an un-Constitutional Law after taking an oath 3 times to defend the Constitution............JMHO
  13. Try the one I just posted Erik. https://www.foxnews.com/great-outdoors/kentucky-man-bags-deer-with-decapitated-buck-head-stuck-in-its-antlers
  14. Man thats about as strange as it gets right there .https://www.foxnews.com/great-outdoors/kentucky-man-bags-deer-with-decapitated-buck-head-stuck-in-its-antlers
  15. And they claim they want to come here in peace and not cause any trouble. What catagory of trying to kill a police officer is peaceful???
  16. Well I guess I am lucky in that sense. Darby can't talk and if she could the only abuse she could complain about is to much spoiling. My neighbors are all gun owners and we watch out for each other. All of my family are gun owners. I do my best to fly under everyones radar. Hope our new Governor is a Pro-gun 2nd Amendment person. I think he is since he wants to train and arm the teachers in the schools.................JMHO
  17. RIP Mr Clark. I use to never miss Hee Haw. Favorite show while growing up.
  18. Yep, for sure any guy that even thinks his ex-wife might do this might just decide to either leave that state or just do a murder suicide and be done with it. If they are already having major issues they cannot settle things it could get really ugly really quick. I'm sure glad Tennessee is not a red flag state>>>>>>>>>>>YET!!!!!!!!!! Don't really know that much about Bill Lee but if he wants to arm teachers I don't think he is a Red Flag kind of guy............JMHO
  19. Well for what it's worth here is the reason the man died and who made the complaint and why? https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/red-flag-law-anne-arundel-police-serving-order-to-remove-guns-shoot-kill-armed-man
  20. Interesting read from USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/04/19/red-flag-laws-strip-gun-rights-violate-constitution-column/526221002/
  21. Back when I hunted I always used Winchester 150gr Silver Tips and was never dissappointed with their performance. All my children and grandchildren are still using them as far as I know.
  22. I do have an issue with Orders of Protections. LIke you have said, when it comes down to needing one of those they more often than not turn out bad with someone being killed. I don't have an answer for those except I would never get one against anyone. There are also cases where the police are called out to a domestic dispute that appears to get settled and within a day of two someone or sometimes entire families are killed in murder suicides. Things like that will never be stopped whether a gun is used or any number of other weapons, knife lead pipe, hammer, ball bat, even arson etc etc. As far as having someone come to court to tell them they are going to take away their guns of course would never work. There should be a hearing in which the person gets to face their accuser and be able to provide a defense before the order is handed down to take the guns. The reason they don't want to do that is look how many cases would have to be heard and how much time the courts would have to spend just on these cases. The state has just decided to bully their way through this and it got a man killed. I for 1 would like to know what the extended family member put up as a reason for them to go after the mans guns. I doubt we will ever know????
  23. Welcome to TGO. It looks like Knoxville and the surrounding area is going to be getting pretty crowded before to much longer. A lot of folks have been looking at that area recently.......................
  24. There is little doubt that it is another foot in the door and I think if it gets in front of the Supreme Court it will get the door slammed on their foot and all of the Red Flag bills will get declared Unconstitutional. It's just a matter of getting it into the Courts hands. You can bet with the death of the man in Maryland the bills are being looked at very carefully by many people and some that have the power to put in in front of the court...........JMHO
  25. This is probably not gonna make much sense but going to say it anyway. The man that was killed over his guns had never been arrested or even a traffic ticket and a complaint from some extended family member was the one the made the request that they just take his guns and it got him killed. I think who ever this person was should be required to file a complaint and provide a reason for the Confiscation for the records should it go to court. Of course this one won't be except maybe Civil Court. The CA shooter had been in trouble with the law when he was young and again when he returned home from Marine Corps. The reason the Mental Crisis Unit was called to his home was because he was having as issue of domestic violence and kicking holes in the Walls of the home they lived in. Now maybe some people don't see a difference between the 2 cases but I do..............JMHO
