We lived just off of NW 183 street and 47 ave, which is where 183 st ended at the time. They set up a Hawk Battery just off what would be 183 st and 57 ave which was a field at the time.
Yeah, I remember practicing "Stop N Drop" and cowering under your desk in school....like that would protect you from anything !!!
And I remember the daily flights of aircraft flying out of Opa Locka Airbase in the north end. Had the Navy Blimp Base there also, which later housed the Goodyear Blimp in the 70s and 80s.

I know that blimp base! We were way south near SW 306 St and SW 187th Ave.

Very true! Why make it worse, one of those things there is no answer to, kinda like tailgate dampers.

I sorta think, with no data to back it up, that it's really not that big a deal. But hey, do what you want. I have a stock engine cover and I'll leave it there.

And, class of '80 here

I'm class of 79 too.

ohh shit here we go, class of 79 as well... old enough to know better but still doing it

Good to see they're included in this package. Most don't included them and everyone comes on here looking for the hardware because they can't instal their new engine cover.

When they had the first run of covers, pre Covid, they were about $70 but no hardware.
Post Covid, they are now double the price and come with HW.
But I'd probably still ask Benny if that is still true.

Class of '78!

Don’t have a cover, first new purchase without one! Kinda bugged me at first, not anymore

 

[SFB]

It''s a water-cooled engine, not air cooled where cooling fins come into play. Heat is dispated via the radiator and fluid circulating.

Tell that to those that say it, I’m just the messenger

I'm going to date myself even further. Do you remember this tune closing WQAM 560AM broadcast right around Midnight? Goodnight May Love

WQAM was THE Station that all of us High School Kids listened to!
I don't remember the DJ.... been too long.

WOW! I'm OLD but not in mind or heart.

Now this is a Hoot! Dedicated to all us Old... never no mind... As Good As I Once Was
RIP Toby!

His name was Rick Shaw. Remember him well and met him several times over the years at our reunions.
And of course, Chicken Man...

Chicken Man - "He's everywhere He's everywhere"

Now that is one I I had long forgotten! But when I read "Chicken Man", the first thing that came to mind was "He's everywhere, He's everywhere!"
