Re: A '54 named Busty

Took her on the freeway for the first time today, and stretched her legs a little bit, only problem is terrible front suspension squeaking, sounds like I'm a Foster Farms driver transporting baby chicks! and this is after a hefty dose of silicon anti squeak spray, so I am open to ideas and suggestions on how to make it stop, please and thank you

Re: A '54 named Busty

Do you have a heim joint supporting your steering shaft? Mine was squeaking and a little silicone lube took care of that.

Re: A '54 named Busty

poured a little milk on the stock OEM intake manifold, this is one of a few parts GM didn't hit with the Ugly Stick too hard (just has that large ugly wire harness conduit opening on one side, otherwise it's nice and symmetrical)

I may do some plastic welding and delete that divot some day... possibly never

First one to get the AC / DC reference wins $7 bucks in bit coin.

No, no seats. Used it on the dash and the black trim pieces on a 79 Jeep Cherokee.

Re: A '54 named Busty

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

They should use it in a commercial.

Re: A '54 named Busty

Or it could be this:

Late AC/DC singer Bon Scott was known for his wild ways and Malcolm Young could be spotted sporting a handle of Jack Daniels as big as he was, but Angus Young doesn’t drink. At all. In fact, you’ll only ever see the AC/DC guitarist knocking back a nice, cold glass of chocolate milk or the occasional cup of coffee. Got milk?

Re: A '54 named Busty

Yeah! I won! And all those years ago, mom said listening to AC/DC would rot my brain.

Looking at Busty right after reading the Rusty thread just points out how different yet same your trucks are.
Busty = Round body, LS motor, green paint with patina, black wheels-white letters out
Rusty = Square body, LS motor, green paint, black wheels-black walls out

You need to do a side by side glamour shot of your rigs. I'd vote for a calendar showing.

ha ha, very cool observation, and don't forget it's all about Laces Out and Rusty started out with white lettering but ate through that set of rubber cause of poor alignment and a heavy right foot

angle iron bolts up to the underneath of the Camaro frame horns where the anti sway bar went, and extends forward, precisely this much
