Harry, my 69 Super Bee had a 440/Auto, Power steering an Brakes and an am radio! Other than that, not a whole lot more. The rear Quarter glass didn't even roll down! They flipped out!!! It was a BIG ol bench seat with the stifter on the column! AND NO carpets! BUT it was FAST!!!!!! Still wish I had ...... Oh well, it was a bare bones basic automobile, that had the biggest cubic inches ya gould get in the thing, and it LOVED ta run!!!!!!!!

george 53 replied to Corvette.Jeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Bill, getcher self a Self startin snowblower, an you'll have it made! Been here so long, I don't think I could function without snow! I REALLY DO like the stuff! My sis and Parents lived in Edinburg Texas for close to 30 years, an she ALWAYS came up in the winter to catch the snow. My folks an her moved back about 19 years ago. It was kinda ruff on my dad, but he got back inna groove pretty quick. Ya can do pretty well in the snow, ya jus gotta DRESS for it! Invest in a self starting blower, you'll be glad ya did! I am!!! -
HOLY SHEEP!!! These things are THAT popular that ALL you guys know about 'em????? Yeeesh, That's wat i get for havein a girl!!!!! Joy's gonna be 31 an I can still remember gettin her a new Barbie every year at Christmas. She still has em all. But I NEVER knew jack about Transformers! I saw the 1st movie, thought it was ok, but I din't know they were makein the second one till recently. I'll probly see it on cable when it comes out. Wow, from what it looks like to me, Transformers were the big thing for you guys hu? Maybe like hot rod tradeing cars were to me. Any you guys remember them?

Wow That came out nice!!! My 69 Nova was close to that color green. The only thing I can add, is that, as already stated here once, ALL 68/72 Novas had BLACK instrument Panel Surounds. Just a piddley little thing, but, it is right. Other than that lil bit of info, It Looks GREAT!!!

RC/2's Daytona and 67 GTO re-issues...
george 53 replied to LVZ2881's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I know I may be a little off track on this, but, guys, really? You don't REALLY think they'll retool the Daytona when they have Monovells EXCELLENT 69 Daytona for competition? It hafta be a WHOLE new kit, an I just don't think they got the bucks to do it. So it's probably a re-issue. Same with the 67. I haven't bought a 67 GTO since they were still owned by MPC(The REAL MPC!) an that re-issue had wrinkles in the 1/4 panels from where they had converted it back to stock from what I THINK was the "Mr. Unswitchable" Funny Car. I can't think of to many revisions that wouldn't cost them some big bucks, so I'd bet they're straight re-issues. I'd be nice if Revell could re-tool the EXCELLENT 66 GTO as a 67. Just a few interior changes, the rear tail lamp panel,Rear bumper, some rocker moulding,but ,other than the tailpanel the rest of the body is the same. But we'd probly lose the 66 GTO forever! -

WoW! THIS guy had TOOO much Borstch 'n Vodka! But I guess this PROVES beauty IS in the eye of the beholder! They jus DON'T build pretty cars in "Ol rooskie land,Eh?' Well at least they got dedicated builders! Guess those guys wouldn't be too impressed with somethin like Skwerrly though. Man that's an UGLY truck! Guess when all ya have ta build, AND ya gotta build yer own, ya can build what ya WANT!!!! Lottsa GREAT work,This guy could be a jeweler, or a Russian equivalent of "TreeHugger Dave" -

Jeeze, Kev, from the looks of it,with them slab sides maybe you could go with a 65 Lincoln? Could you get a hold of an old Joker/Goon/T.J.Hooker/Dukes of Hazzard Dodge 4Dr Cruisers an convert it? Hard to tell from the pics jus what'll interchange/convert body wise. -

george 53 replied to george 53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Guys THANKS for ALL your help an advice. The Cable dude just left, an he said the problem all revolved around a wrong I.T. address. What ever THAT is! I'll ask Joy about Mozilla or Firefox, or whatever it's called. Funny thing though, now it all works just fine again, but it SEEMS that the FORUM ITSELF runs a little slow. Izzat jus ME? or do any you guys notice it? Any ways, I'm back in action an ready ta Rock An Roll!!! Party ON Garth!!!!!! -
