    It's actually a '66 Chevelle Malibu; but yeah it does kinda look like an AMC Rebel from that angle

    Today was a very nice 3-hour show. We brought the Highway Star over and lots of other neat cars showed up. A nice older couple in a '66 Caprice parked beside us. Also my friend's younger brother showed up with his original paint, '69 Newport, which was sold originally here in our city. Very nice car. (pictures uploaded out of order not sure why)

    AMC Javelin at today's local show; might've been the one in primer I've seen years prior.

    And here's some from this afternoon.

    The pleasing parts of the cruise night last night. While me and my mom were going about looking at the other cars, my dad stayed behind with our car and I was glad he did. He met some guy who apparently has two '69 LeMans convertibles, and various parts including a set of chrome bumpers and grille, and maybe some other parts. And also my dad ordered chrome wheel opening trim and got a promo code to get 20% off the set price. The parts are coming.

    Kinda Irk/pleased but more so some irks. Took HS to the cruise night last night and it was pretty awesome. But some things made it kinda not awesome. Like on our way there some punk kid blaring his cr ap music in the lane beside us spewed up some sort of material from the road (not rocks thank goodness) but when we got to the cruise there were white blotches all over the hood we had to wipe off that weren't there when we left. And during the cruise some large military vehicle merged in from nowhere right in front of us; obviously didn't even pay the $20 to be part of the show/cruise, and we were stuck behind it for the one round we made. We were going to do maybe another round but some guy in a '69 Torino cut us off when we had the green arrow so we just decided to head home. I was somewhat baffled that some other classic car owners don't respect other classic car owners.

    Took the Highway Star on its first public debut (since we've owned it) at the local cruise last night. A record turnout with the most entrees in a very long time, maybe even in the history of the cruise night here. We were also part of the actual cruise too. Usually the cruise takes us down the historic Queen Street, hence the name "Queen Street Cruise", but half the street was torn up for construction so this year was the Bay Street Cruise instead. Lots of nice cars and some I hadn't seen before, like a '62 Imperial, my favourite at the show. Hmm... This car looks oddly familiar.... The guy who restored our LeMans also restored this '67 Beaumont.

    Ah yes I remember being part of that stampede towards the bus back in the day… good times.

    Update: it’s back and yes finally a wiper motor has been installed. But still missing parts for the washer fluid sprayer and missing parts for the parking brake. Turns out though, it had a horn the whole time. Mechanic pressed it and it honked once. Though now it’s not honking so the horn relay connection must be very faulty or something but pressing all three buttons and it doesn’t honk now but apparently it did so I dunno.

    HS should be coming back later today after a sleepover at the mechanic's shop. Should 100% have a wiper motor, a couple other little things, and maybe a horn.

    Looks absolutely fantastic; I've been wanting to do a mod top mopar for a while now. Yours looks great.

    Some nice Mopars; also like the '59 Buick and Dodge Dart in behind the old Pontiac in the second photo.

    Gave HS a hand wash yesterday after we came back. Not a cloud in the sky so the paint looked extra awesome. And the neighbourhood was dead pretty much all afternoon and it was just amazing on a beautiful day like yesterday. Hasn't been like that in maybe over 10 years. Got the spare rim sanded down more and my dad primed it last evening. No spare centercap but a plastic lid basically the exact same size and chrome anodizing from some garlic glass jar looks like it'll work perfectly after putting a pontiac logo sticker in the center. And finally later this week we'll 100% have a wiper motor installed, and washer fluid container. Progress.

    That looks very way cool; never heard or saw this car until just now.

    The sunniest day in like 2 actual weeks. Back to cloudy and rain for another week though. 👎

    The unbuilt stash is yet something I have to experience; if that’ll ever happen. When I started building my dad had a very small stash that fit in one box, and then I built all those and started buying my own from the store. As of now I have officially built 60 models, and rebuilt 6 of them, and right now have zero to build, with one coming by mail in a couple days. What I do is build them as I buy them; a seemingly good strategy that keeps unbuilts from piling up. Mind you I haven’t been in the hobby long so that’s probably another reason there is no unbuilt stash here, but really if you buy one at a time, and don’t buy again until one is built, that would keep down the unbuilt stash. But then you have a built stash so really either way it’s still space being used up.

    Took the Highway Star on a Father’s Day morning cruise, only saw one other classic, a 1974 GMC Sprint. No pic of it as we past but here’s a pic of the same vehicle at last year’s cruise night. Very cool car truck.

    Really a great show yesterday, loads of nice cars; especially a 1960 Bel Air that was bought originally here in our city according to the dealer badge on the trunk; an older lady said she had owned it since 1971. Also another '69 LeMans owner, though of a convertible, who had the car since highschool. Very nice cars and very nice morning show.
