  1. Brother from another mother and a sister form another mister is how those rhymes go i think
  2. Yeah it was actually for sale before this show, and we had seen it at last year's local show with a for sale sign and it was owned by an older couple downsizing a collection. Unfortunately the car was out of our price range at $39,000 which was actually reasonable considering the condition. Original 383 car turned 440. The photo of the car here at the A&W show was with its new owner, and he was a way younger dude who put different rims on it. Though the rims on it now are way nicer than the previous ones.
  3. The final show of the 2023 season; even with the prospect of rain, the local A&W had such a big turn out, late comers couldn't find a place to park. A&W had been rained into cancellation twice prior, so it was good the show happened this time.
  4. Though school is over after the 13th, today is technically the last day as today we go to school to do two tests, the rest are online so after today I'm basically done for the week, so that's like 4 weeks of christmas break, instead of the regular 3, and even then elementary and high school only get two weeks. Hoping to find some small part-time job if I can over the break.
  5. I dig that Saab, man; out of all European cars the Saab has to be my favourite, especially the early '49 to '69s; but I may be mildly biased being of Nordic European heritage myself
  6. While on a camping trip we drove into Suds for weekend shopping and wouldn'tcha know there was a car show goin' on so of course we stopped in.

  7. Front of the car was nice, but the rear with those tailfins...whoa
  8. Started my ‘62 Catalina kit today; a tip for you guys; it turns out if you have the box art facing you while you’re building it motivates you to actually finish the build. Works for me every time.
  9. Out of curiosity has a 66 conversion been created for the amt 66 Chevelle ?
  10. Gee I’d love to build that 69 Galaxie
  11. like house vacuuming (A chore I do instead of the dishes, phew)
  12. I know my Great Uncle’s ‘65 Bird was first registered October 8th 1964 but the first owner got the car July 6th 1965 so I would assume October 64 was when the car was built. Also the wipers in that car, they are operated by a lever on the dash that you pull close or push away for the speed, but he has a folded piece of paper in there keepin the lever back because he said it’s spring loaded so without the paper jammed in there the wipers come on full throttle. Not really sure why it’s like that; never asked him
  13. I would imagine it’s just “come with your car” but I did see cars with a registration sheet in the windshield so I’m not entirely sure.
  14. 'em is an odd choice for a word to start a sentence.
