Re: [FWDLK] Newbie



  True story  - 

1975-6 ?  A junior high school socializing pastime was rollerskating down at a local rink.  There were "big shot" kids who seemed to curry 
favor with the establishment.  They could out-skate most anyone there, and were just generally "big shots".  So, there was some sort of 
race and naturally the big shots had to get in there and show their stuff.  The disco scene was getting hot, and the whole tight pants and
bell bottoms was "the scene" and one of the big shots had a dandy all-white outfit to show off in.  Well, said big shot took a nasty fall during
the race, slamming into the boards, breaking his leg above the knee.

  Medics were called and our boy was hauled off the rink to a nearby lace-up bench to await help.  When the medics arrived, they informed
our boy that they were going to cut his pants off him.  The fuss this kid tossed was WAY over the top, considering.  Lo and behold, when 
they removed the pants, the kid had a sock and a cucumber strung around his waist and hanging "strategically" in his pant leg.

  Oddly, after this incident, we never saw him around that rink again.  Hmmm .....

The best comparison I can make to that is sticking a sock in your underwear to impress the ladies!

Some years ago I went to the Hot Rod Nationals, along with the racing
they have a decent swap meet and car show at the venue where I am.

Whilst walking the long way to the swaps area I spied a nice looking
small hot rod coupe, and since it had an open hood area I was able to
spy the 'hemi' sitting in it from a distance.
ALrighty I go, lets check this one out a little.

MAJOR BUMMER when I got close enough to it to stick my head around it.
It Had Black Plastic Valve covers in the early Hemi configuration, But
it had Skirts on the flange. The Skirts covered the spark plugs and
wires going to them, Yups Someone went to some trouble to make FAKE Hemi
covers to disguise the chebby small block to look like a mopar!

Basically the plastic covers allowed the spark plug wires to pass
through them like the hemi. The Skirts were also cut to just fit between
the exhaust system at the manifold as they provided the camouflage of
the true spark plug locations.

At least it was semi-retro, it did have chevy double hump heads.
