New on The Den

[Pat]

New HERE to The Den. Was on The Nest back in the day & am still on Evo occasionally. Am currently on my third Eagle. Bought a new Kamback when I got back from Korea & traded it about a year later for a new wagon. Got married, wife started a business & we needed a pickup, so it was goodbye Eagle. Still miss having one, so I now have BlackBird. '86 wagon. Needs A LOT! Just getting started, HAD plans for it years back. Didn't happen, long story, Not going into it here. Folks that knew me on The Nest know the story & the end result is on Evo. I now have BlackBird back & as I said, slowly getting started on him.

Welcome to the Den Pat, nice to see you made the migration.
Hope you get BlackBird up & going soon.

[Pat]

Thanks. He's running, probably NOT gonna get the 360 OR any paint. Just hope to keep him running for now. Whenever I hit the lottery (yeah, right), he WILL get a lot of stuff done. At Tech School (again). Strut rod bushings & an alignment this time. NOT something I wanted to try on my own in the middle of winter. Get that done, it's 2 more new tires to replace the other cracked/dry rotted ones & then HOPEFULLY, start driving him.

Good luck getting your Eagle up and running! Your old username was like 1Oldman or something?

[Pat]

1 Old FORD Man was what I used before, yeah.

Pat is down near St. Louis now.  He still has Blackbird.

[Prafeston]

Well he picked up a new driver fender for it courtesy of SpreadEagle and then me and amosende transported it to St. Louis for Pat. He's got Blackbird in the local tech school. Hope it can get all fixed up soon!

[IowaEagle]

Yes, it would be nice to see the BB back on the road again.

I'm baaaaack.  Been a while, kinda been on SpaceBook. BlackBird's gone (RI.P.), it got rear-ended almost a year ago (late May 2016). Bought what I thought was gonna be a replacement (White Eagle) in July 2016. Has a chinese knock-off of a Motorcraft, took it to someone to fix in Sept.? probably Oct. because I got a hip replacement first of Nov. & couldn't drive for a minimum of 6 weeks. Got it back with not much done to it. He said that chinese piece of junk is warped. So meanwhile, my disability got approved & with my back pay, I bought Brandon's. That brings me up to THREE vehicles now, all in the same parking lot at the apartment complex. I get the bright idea that since Bleep & the other Eagle are legal, I might as well do White Eagle too. At least they won't be complaining about that, too! Took it in & he didn't even bother putting it in the system. Not in the system, no charge. No inspection, not in the system! I think the pics. pretty much speak for themselves!

For those who missed BlackBird's demise, here's what happened: Up until I saw the bent 'frame', even then till I saw the gas tank kissing the axle, I was thinking about keeping it. That decided me, no leaks, but just a matter of time if I drove it like that. So, it found a new home. I think the guy wanted the tranny out of it.

Here it was leaving.
