Awesome unmarked car. Very similar to our cars in Milwaukee.

I've got to look at this section more often.

Don't know if that car is sunk in the sand, or all the bottom has been rotted away. It does appear to be a Model A of some kind. Don't know if it's good rod material, though.

I was admiring that middle fifties Chevy truck you posted, Raul. Hmmmmm nice....and then it hit me...he put a Corvette cove in there. Subtle but cool! Very nice!

Prolly something there is only one left of or really rare...a Hemi Cuda ragtop?

Thanks, I only could remember the car came from Ohio. I saw it in Milwaukee World Of Wheels.

I would have to mention Hank Borger. Many of his builds in the old Model Car Science and Car Model inspired me to try different things. Ira Dahm as well. I have to add Gary Schmidt, I think without his generosity (giving me back issues of SAE to replace those I lost in a fire) I would not have had as much research and study material. Mark Gustavson for his nice comments on my gentle fun poking of his models in "Model Behavior" funnies. Juha Airo and Gerald Wingrove for showing me the high levels one can ascribe to in this hobby as well as bill Geary.

Beware the Menehune!

Time for a little story. I was at a car show last year and like most, really didn't understand the purpose or reason for building a high riding car. I came across a Caprice with a Rolls Royce front grille and headlights. This car was up on high suspension and wheels. The care taker of the car was there and I asked some questions about it. I got to look closely at the workmanship of the chassis, the paint and interior. I was very impressed with it. It was a maroon car that was online and traveled the circuit of car shows. I can't find the car, but, as I said I was really impressed. The build quality was top notch and a lot of money went into it. So Mr. lownslow, don't leave us yet or the hobby. A couple of "nattering nabobs of negativism" shouldn't chase you away.

...and yet the cars in the background continue to intrigue me. The 72 Riviera, the 77 or so Charger/Magnum/Cordoba in black and gold.

Love that old Ford, but I am intrigued by the gold 75 0r 76 Buick Collonade next to it.

Here is the first Astre. Canada only. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1048082937037328283PLHUhC

Is there a pic to verify the accuracy of that front grille opening? I don't quite remember that look. I would certainly like the full body kit/stock.

This sight is slow, it's always been slow. I just accept it.

I think I pee'd myself and my face hurts from laughing so hard. I have done #148 in preparing for a performance of Kenny Rodger's "I Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In" during a karaoke contest on the stage. Peoples eyes got real big as I popped all those "pills".

As the tropical breezes waft over your hammock suspended between palms as wahines bring you drinks, and ukulele music is heard in the back ground.

I'm very familiar with old Econolines. That is not an econoline, it's some euro van of some kind.

Wow, could be some kind of home built British thing. I do know what the tank is behind the drivers seat. It's a coal gas generator to produce gas to operate the engine. Common during WWII when petrol was scarce or rationed.

What kind of van is that? It's cool though.

Stud muffin, Gregg? ;) :lol:

GAZ was started in 32, so yes, the plant produced 1929 or 30 type clones of the A. They also did a clone of the 33 and 34 Ford but had slightly redesigned the grille with a vertical bar in the middle. After that, they started making their own designs.

We got 18 inches of "springtime" here in the Muskego Wisconsin area. A bit more than Chi-town who got 14 inches I think.

I hope you go see an actual doctor, not just your football coach. Your coach works for the school system and may not have your best interest at heart.

Nope, not Ford at all.
