  1. "News today will be the movies for tomorrow..." , goes a line in A House is Not a Motel by Arthur Lee & Love
  2. Dogs by Christian Death is one of my favourite Rikk Agnew songs on the Deathwish E.P.
  3. SYcamore (79) is the most common COX number I've seen. MUnicipal (68) sounds like a South Pasadena COX. HIghland (44) is an FX (Foreign Exchange) COX, IIRC. Image 12 of California - White Pages - Los Angeles Central Area - June 1964 A through KORT | Library of Congress (loc.gov) [EDIT] : MUnicipal (68) is the FX prefix, not HIghland (44).
  4. Posthumously-released live, original recordings of Bach Live at the Louvre '64 are hard to come by
  5. Here's a link to decals : [see below]. While I cannot personally attest to the quality of Ray's decals, other members have used them and the positive reviews are numerous.
  6. Quite the ambitious project ! It would appear that you've got the skills required to tackle this conversion -- those tail lamp fixtures alone are tricky. Is this going to be a Laguna S-3 ? Some 40 years ago someone made a street / stock Laguna from the MPC Hawaiian Tropic (from Cannonball Run) . I'm sure that someone has images of it. Keep on keepin' on !
  7. Toffy's in great company now; her Spirit is free. My heart aches for you and yours. Thank you for your time and love and companionship which you'd provided, Toffy ?
  8. Not to mention the '67 GT 350 having a really nice 289 with a gorgeous 4-speed.
  9. I've been looking online L.A.M.F. for the images I'd seen at one time of a F100 Unibody which was employed by either Caltrans or one of their contract companies. There's an image of one parked on the Arroyo Seco Parkway/ Pasadena Freeway (then, S.R. 11 / US 66, present day S.R. 110) with its ostensible operator installing 'ArmCo Railing' (the wood-post-aluminium-beams arrangement which started appearing in c.1963 in the medians of Parkways and Freeways, eta. I'm going to keep searching !
  10. Thanks for the nod , @JollySipper. From memory: SYcamore and PYramid (both "79") were common in Pasadena 'proper'; to wit : SY-1-0060 or PY-9-1000 , '213' area code (818, eta., didn't come along until c.1982). I hope that this helps.
  11. "Sneezed, then turned again to play his guitar before sneezing again.", recounted Andy Warhol when discussing Sterling Morrison during the filing of Velvet Underground : A Symphony of Sound
  12. Looks nice ! Keep us posted on its fit ; I'd like one so that I can build an up-top SS/EA version (tops have to be up, along with windows).
  13. After decades in hiding the 1970 'Cuda R.T.S. show car has been discovered !
  14. Misty-eyed is how I became while listening to In Search of the Lost Chord whilst under the 'inspiration' of a wilder-than-herb anomaly
  15. Sears also used to offer - via their catalogue - a little "something" to "help" the builder along with this - and others - project...
  16. I've been playing with the idea of building a kit (maybe a Duster) with a Jaspar (or similar) 'rebuilt' engine under the bonnet. Thanks for the reminder !
  17. "Away with words y'got there, oi !", scoffed the football holligan as he smashed 'is empty pint over the bar's edge
  18. To: Cardi B : Thank you for your groundbreaking "song"
  19. What that "song" acronym stands for is barfy to begin with. I, too, have witnessed that age verification rubbish for a clip/film/etc. whose title is "enough" to trigger their nanny crossing guard. Cardi B, indeed. Yuck.
  20. One can build this version OOB from the AMT 1973 Mustang ( ? ) :
  21. Roof appears to be ostensibly too short to me -- B-pillars-back.
  22. My dad had an '82 (first year) in 1985-1987. Fully-loaded (except for cassette) - I've forgotten that trim level's nomenclature - and clean. Total piece of it. 2.8 V6 was a gutless gas hog; that stupid electronic carburetor was "set" and therefore nonadjustable. TH-200 trans was slipping. Radio stopped working (analogue dial which was stuck on some crumb bum station). Paint faded on the sides first. Those early base/clear paints were trash. That being said: There were a handful of them around with 350/350/10 Bolts which were super nice. You just know that those trucks went through in absentia emissions testing (i.e., 50$ will pass anything... presence not necessary).
  23. Remember the days of not-too-long-ago when the Middle Classes were thriving
