Yea I did a lot of Chevy killin back then I was the only guy with a ford everyone else was Mopar or Chevy.In my opinion I think Mopar was all time king of street
My little ford was hard to beat it had the narroed 9" ford with 538 innards and strange axles and a billit driveshat,and a doug nash 4 speed.there was a kid that buged me to sell it to him and I got in a tight for money so I convinced his dad to buy it,he drove it to shool and slamed it into a bridge piling showing out for the girls just fubared the engine,one of my regrets.

He cut all sorts of corners, I fought him all the way to the bitter end, then ended up throwing him out and doing the sheetrock and finishing myself. But the roof was already "done" by then.

I'm headed up there now to have a look-see. There's a couple buckets of patch sealant in the garage. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cool. Hope you find the source easily. You may have to crawl up in the attic to find it.

No, it's worse. I have a sister that lives here and does all that bitching. At least with your wife you get something for the trouble. I don't even want anything from this woman.......'Cept maybe for her to get a better job and her own place............

I smeared some of that rubberized tar patch compound stuff around the base of the vents and in the valleys. I'm hoping that does it and I didn't fuck things up worse in doing so. But, really, I didn't see anything obvious. The roof actually looks great.

It's a "California Ranch", Bob. It has a very shallow pitch and NO attic.

I cleaned the gutters and swept all of the tree detritus off while I was up there.
