    Today's sightings. This '65 New Yorker musta broke down on the way to the car show, as it was there on the way there and back.

    1964, the year in which many believe was the birth of the muscle car.

    Looks great; a guy in town here has a ‘77 Cougar in the same colour, but witha dark blue vinyl top.

    Ordered myself a 1970 Mercury full-line brochure. Now I've got a brochure bug happening. But in some cases it's more affordable than Model Cars and easier to store because brochures are flat, not really 3-D like a model car. That being said I'm not going to spend $102 on the '69 Beaumont brochure. Although that would be a totally awesome addition to the collection. Read through my '60 Plymouth brochure this morning, every word, cover to cover. Only makes me want the real car even more. Very informative on features I didn't even know.

    I am going to built it, I was jokin' around. Plan is to do a larger scale version of a '70 Olds 442 Hotwheels from my carefree youth. (interent photo)

    Well, it did arrive today. Very pleased.

    Yes, I heard about that; that's too bad, it was a great kit the first time I built it. This one I have now, I might have to keep unbuilt and in the packages; who knows, maybe in the next 60 years it'll have Jo-Han kit rarity status LOL. But I'll probably build it.

    "Sebsatan" that sounds like the Devil's son.

    Turns out my 1960 Plymouth Brochure from eBay is way way ahead of schedule, having the delivery date be sometime today, instead of August 1st. Whether or not that's 100% true I don't know, but as long as it gets here.

    I've noticed other guys who've bought the '71 Olds all got the clearence price of $9. Also the reason why I got another one myself was the clear out price. But knowing the hobby lobby I go to, kits have to be sitting for years and years before getting a clear-out price. That's how I got the 1/16 scale '57 T-bird; also $9 clearence.

    Sighted my second Monarch last evening, a '60 Richelieu to be precise.

    Man of my word I was able to get a better photo of the mystery Merc from my last sighting, last evening, and it turns out it's a '60 Monarch Richelieu, the Canadian counterpart to the Mercury. No rear bumper and no interior suggests a project car. Second Monarch sighting after a '51 wreck car in a gully. Pretty cool.

    Looks great; I did a similar thing where I turned a '57 Chrysler 300 hardtop into a convertible.

    Saw a '68 Meteor Montcalm convertible last evening, but also a Mystery Merc that appears to be a '60 Merc or Monarch. Hoping to have better photos later today...

    Pretty nice show. Apparently loads of cars were there right at 3pm when registration opened even though the show was actually supposed to start at 6pm, which is when we got there. Didn't get a great spot as a result, but it was a good show. The Bordertown Classics private collection from Barret Jackson and Mecum auctions were there, as they were last year. Didn't stay till the end because it started to pour so we left an hour before the show ended, as other cars did too. Good thing those wipers worked. The guy who restored our car also did this Mustang CS

    Project '70s lawn chair is complete; officially a solid chair to sit on. No more lean, not more sag, and a reinforced structure. Took a little longer than expected since, stupid me, didn't realize the drill was set on reverse so there I was reefing on it to drill holes and it was taking forever. It's like the literal 100th time I've done that and I never figure it out right away. But I did realize and after that it was smooth sailing. I must say I am quite pleased; just to think, it was sitting in the gully for at least 30 or 40 years, and now it's as solid as any new chair.

    Rotary Fest car show tonight. Already seeing the Bordertown Classics collection down the road from my grandma's heading down to the grounds. These are real deal cars from Mecum, Barret Jackson, etc. Just seen a '69 Chevelle, and two of the '70 Road Runners heading out. Show doesn't start till 6pm but registration begins at 3pm and there are a lot of cars in the collection so must be getting there earlier to avoid driving them in crowds and heavy traffic. Oh it's gonna be a good show tonight.
