I can’t remember how old I was ( early teens? ) when I got one of those Chevy ‘small’ block V8 kits to put together.What a ‘GREAT’ present which I thought my parents couldn’t afford,as there was 4 of us kids to buy for. I had a ball putting it together! Eventually,it made it’s way to collect dust in the cellar,and ( sinfully) got thrown in the trash,years later.Yeah,I know what your thinking…sad! 😥 .

I was almost 3 this Christmas. A Macy’s NYC Santa.

Cakes, I had one of those engines too. Small block Chevy, “The Visible V8”. Had little light bulbs for spark plugs, which lit up as the engine turned over, and an electric motor that turned the engine like it was running. Mine also wound up in the basement, and I lost track of it over the years. I had a lot of fun with it. I did find out that the more batteries you could hook together, the faster it would turn over. I finally burnt the little motor up. Oh well, shit happens!!

Guys you might like to believe it was a SBC but it wasn’t. I still have one, most likely a Caddy motor.

Pat/Mikey……Maybe that’s why Mikey blewup the engine, trying to rev it up like a small block Chevy when it was a Caddy engine. 😆 😆

OK “V” Man ❗ It being a crappy day and seeing your post made me dig into the back
of the closet and look at some old family pictures. I found this picture of my awesome
first 2 wheel bicycle that i got for Christmas. Don’t know how I ever wrangled that out
of Santa. 😆 I had that bike until I got my driver’s learning permit. 😛 WOW, memories…

Nice good old days pics! Not to change the thread here, but VBob talked about caps. Just had a flashback…anybody ever make any cap “bombs”?

Yeah Man…pick em all apart …ge2big bolts and pack em in with a nut connecting…tighten, throw up in air ,,,,when it hits Ka-Boom.Then there’s always the potato up the exhaust pipe or put a big fish in the intake manifold. We Had Fun . OH- playing cards close-pined to hit the spokes …instant “Motor’ for your bike.

I think I was 10 or 11 when I got a Schwinn ‘Phantom’ bike for Christmas, that was a ‘deluxe’ bike at the time! I remember the cool headlight and the horn button in the center of the enclosed ‘wing’, just forward of the seat. Saving up my coins that summer, I bought a set of ‘crash’ bars for the rear wheel, and ‘V’ bars for the front that attached to the front spindle,to the ‘outer’ handle bars.It was like putting a set of Cragar S/S wheels on your hot rod when you started driving! Yeah Dino,I confess…..I too had the playing card attached with a clothes pin on both wheels! Always attracted or annoyed ‘ole’ people!
