first time iv`e seen one of these fellows in 15 years .. they were/are harbengers of a failing ozone layer years ago .. they have super sensitive to the sun skin .. they cant see in the dark so most have perished ..

as usual a fantastic event at the ardmore school show .. if you`re one of the first 600 or so to show up you get to park in the shade .. this event has exploded in the last 4 years .. i remember when 100 cars showed up .. it`s a huge area .. plenty of shade .. easy access in and out .. there were already about 900 cars there at 10 am this morn .. i heard one of the parking attendants in a bit of a panic as the sherrifs dept. had radioed in that a caravan of about 200 cars was headed that way .. he said " well ' we will start parking them on the football field .. tickled me to see so many friends even though it`s about 40 miles from home ..

iv`e put it off long enuff .. time for a hoss rebuild .. gunna change to grabber blue color with silver hood stripe and accents .. may or may not freshen up the motor .. depends on the wallet .. needs a new deck lid .. mite reskin one quarter panel .. and one door .. the rest is just scuff up and respray .

Awesome,Hoss..Will look good Grabber Blue..

I have an old hotwheels car that looks just like that one, but it's glossy purple, no flames, and has giant sidepipes that in real life, would restrict the door from opening.

good to hear from you bud .. i`d love to be at the lounge but i cant tolerate elmo one bit

you cant ignore a moderator ........... we have had discussions about what is a safe car or not .. this toy does`nt look very safe to me ..

followed this thing a few miles today coming home from work .. finally decided to get a shot of a nice 340 cuda .. so i thought .. had some rust around the rear wheel wells and some badly repaired door dings .. def was`nt original paint but looked aged .. got to the front end and noticed a shaker hood .. with the word HEMI on it .. somebody dug up another gold mine

Still not a bad looker,Hoss...would rebuild nicely..

ok .. name the object round two .. what is this thing ?

looks like a old steam engine to me. but what do i know

Wood plane? And not the flying kind....

A popper on steroids..!
