Stovebolt Love


You might be a Stovebolt Lover if:

  • In2deep - you have a two or three car garage with one truck in it. Whole or in pieces.
  • Popcorn - you get up at 4 a.m. to work on "the truck" because it's more important than sleep.
  • Fahr - you excitedly call your wife to tell her you found the perfect (insert missing or broken truck part) ... and she's as excited as you are about it.
  • Tony M - your wife checks the history feature on your computer and finds nothing but pictures of naked ... trucks.
  • Fatfenders - your eyes glaze over when someone talks about any truck newer than 1974.
  • 46 Burb - you spend quality time with your wife on the living room couch with a laptop posting on a Stovebolt forum.
  • Patrick66 - you have parts from the last 17 trucks you've owned, and can identify every one of them!
  • Sublime- you heat bake your intake manifold in the kitchen oven and stink your house out for hours.
  • Mugsy- the first thing you do in the morning (besides make a cup of coffee) is turn the computer on and go to The Stovebolt Page.



This list was taken from our Stovebolt Valentine article in the February 2006 News page.

Feel free to add your thoughts. thinking

You hope the weather on Valentine's Day is fair so you can get the truck out of the garage for a run.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Absolutely No Touching - LOL!!! Even though I did pay for them. She has her things and I have mine. Speaking of, I think I need to invest in a bigger cart. It's now full and overflow is stacked on the table. Plus I need a place to setup and run my newly acquired old 1930's - 60's Chevrolet film strips I got from Jon H "carbking" to convert to digital files so they can be shared with fellow Bolters. grin
