Yup, I know, I'm just amazed by how much,,,,,, stuff you have to shovel through. It's still easier than dig'n through boxes of old rags to find pics. and such. Thank you for the web search tips. I'm a (no offense to any cave men ) cave man. -
I've been using this laptop my daughter gave me for Christmas, to do research for more accurate models. Looking for pics and info on 58 chevys, amazing things are to be found. Like a 55 impala,,,,, or a 58 with a 59 dash, and so on. So if you don't know, how do you know what's what ? ! Luckily, I have HUNDREDS, of automotive magazines, and books to fall back on. How does the new gospel of cyberdom get its info ,who puts a porche on a page dedicated to old chevys ? How? A computer is only as smart as the people entering the DATA. BLAH BLAH BLAH YADA YADA WAH WAH WAH WAH WAHHHH

NICE work, I like the painted brake drums, I remember seeing this back in the 60s and 70s. My brothers HATED it.

it just happened, no plan, no vision, just mindless slap together fun. -
I was inspired by an article on the mid 60s fx hemi darts and cudas. I was going to try my hand at correcting the rear wheel openings, but decided it was above my skill level . I've got another somewhere, maybe a wip cant did it.
