Nice job. The color looks real close to a 62 hardtop I bought in 66. I think it was called fawn.

Nope. It was posted in the under glass section at the end of December. Jim did it. http://www.modelcars...showtopic=51590

I've always admired your builds and wondered where you went. This is another beautiful example of you work.

This Dave is a beautiful build. Outstanding.

Very nice looking shoe box. I like it very much.

I like it. Nice work on the front clip.

Greg, Hemming has both the flip version on their website as well as the ability to download a PDF. They archive 4 issues back. I prefer to download the PDF as I can read it anytime and print out an article if I want to take it somewhere. Also, the mag can be accessed from anywhere you can get the internet, like a cell phone etc.

Been thru Iowa. Ain't nothin good come outta there. Except me.

Digital would be a blessing Greg and a jump, I believe, on the competition. I know, what competition. I opened my email last night and there were the notices that my Hemming Muscle Machine and Classic Car were ready for download in PDF format. Within a few minutes I was reading the new issues To me, it's the only way to go.

George, I hate Michigan winters. I was born north of Flint, grew up in Southfield and moved up in the Saginaw area after the riots. I used to count the days between Thanksgiving and Easter. Gloomy winters with no sun for long periods of time. I can't be too hot, but I can be too cold. I actually have bad dreams about having to move back there. I love it here in Florida.

We only have 1 cold day yesterday and 2 cold nights and it will be nice weather again.

The only way a gator would come into a house is if someone was feeding it. I've been here 21 years and have only seen one gator around the house and that was because there is a small lake next to the house. The DNR came and took it away. Now snakes are a different story. I've never seen a cottonmouth, but I did kill a 20 inch coral snake in my garage last fall and 2 of my neighbors have seen a 4 foot rattler around. I've never seen any big rats or ever heard of scorpions here.

You moved to the middle of the state Jim. The temp here only dropped to 30 degrees.

Here are some pic's I took at this years Turkey Rod Run at Daytona Speedway this past Thanksgiving weekend. This is a Marshall Teague Fabulous Hudson Hornet kept by the speedway museum.

I found it. It's at the Volusia County Fairgrounds east of Deland. That's about 12 miles up I-4 from me. Who's going?

What train show? Where?

It's supposed to reach 49 degrees today, but the windchill is making it feel much colder. It's only supposed to last a couple of days and then return to normal. Yes, It's cold for people in the 40 degree range and most wear a coat with a hood and gloves here when they walk their dog.

I'm going with real on this one.

Your 265 ci 6 was not the stovebolt 6 phased out in 1962 , but a new version introduced in1963 that incorporated thin cylinder wall construction as in the v-8's.

"--no mention whatsoever of the newer Chevy 6 which was introduced for 1962 as the standard engine in the Chevy II (wasn't the 230cid unit though--that came a few years later, larger bore and stroke, base line engine for the 1964 Chevelle)." Methinks I read quite well. Ya i'm of Sottish decent. By the way never stated it was standard. Just new.

Now , back to my original post. Any New Years modeling resolutions?

Good idea Jacen. That is about as graceful an exit as you can make at this point.

Jacen. I will be 67 years old in 2 wks. My eldest son who will be 44 a few weeks later, lives with me because of physical problems, When you get to be my age, maybe you will comprehend the post a little bit better. Chuck gets it ,as I knew he would, but you are a different story altogether. I made this thread for a certain intent. Yours and Chucks posts were not in line with my intent. Chuck cleared up his position and you took offence when non was intended. Learn to know your friends from there past actions toward you, or have you forgotten already?
