:thumbup: I vaguely remember going but had all but forgotten about it until I stumbled across that article.

Just like my pants.

I think the 5th gens look aight. Def don't like the 6th gens. Wish they'd have gone for more of a first gen look myself. The numbers don't lie on performance so it's hard to argue that, but among the 4 biggest "throwbacks" (Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Challenger) of the last decade or so I'd say, overall, the Mustang and the Challenger landed a bit closer to home in terms of retro styling nods. Performance wise? Ferd uses bicycle tires and can't get power to the ground thus taking out crowds and Doge made some whales. Powerful whales, but imagine if they had performance in mind and kept the size and weight at bay. Cheby takes the W. ..."Charger" lol.

Pulled off the front end tonight. Also got to talk with dad more about the eng. We were told the PO before my cousin got the 'vette had rebuilt the engine. Well, they did...but poorly. Dad broke it all down and discovered a few things. It's bored 30 over and the crankshaft was turned 10 under. Everything seems to be in decent shape. If the threads on the block are salvageable we're gonna full send it. As mentioned/shown before someone spent good money to have work done and bought pricey parts. We think they just didn't know how to put them together properly. Sorry for the crappy pics. Bad lighting, it was hot, and TBH I wasn't taking the time to try to set up shots or anything.

A Look Back At The Columbus 500.

Missed getting pics while I was over for my bday last week but I got some today. Dad's been at work while I've been working. The banana yellow bench seat has been trashed and the fuel tank is gone. This is a far cry from the Fam '52 build already where we tried to keep everything as orig as possible.

Good finds. I really dig both of them. Manual moonroof? Noice. Can't remember the last time I saw one of those.

A new position (:masturboy:)/promotion at work and baseball season for my oldest has had me insanely busy most days. At one of the games last week dad said, "that 350 wasn't rebuilt like the previous owner told Brandon it was. Not the bottom end anyway." Long story short we're glad we're tearing it totally apart. As for the rest of the truck? I didn't even know dad had started it. He sent a text a little bit ago saying, "found this plate behind the fuel tank (which is behind the seat in the cab of these for those unaware) in the '49. I don't think some people would like it." Dunno who would take it how but I then replied, "you're tearing into the '49 without me? Hope you're taking pics." He just said, "Oops!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll be out there tomorrow celebrating my bday with them a week late so I'll go see what all has happened this past week and get pics and updates.

Man, you SHOULD be happy with that. That's freakin' sweet. I love everything about that truck. Well done. About this much.

Just go to AZ, spend $47 for all those accessories, and slap them on your Escalade. Prob solved. Someone who turned 16 and got grandmas old car and a part time job.

Went by Chateua Laroche in Loveland when working in the area last year. Closed. Thanks COVID. It was cool to see though. The drive down the lane is sketchy. Steep switchbacks with sharp curves.

If you're gonna quote me from chat at least give credit. Gotta be able to collect royalties and all that.

Sounds like a solid option.

100% worth it. In my knife finishing shop I put in a window overlooking a nice field and I'm glad I did.

You didn't need to talk to the wife to find out you don't NEED another vehicle. All ya had to do was look at your garage and driveway.

Beautiful.

Maybe. Like, just tanned. You just had your hide tanned. Really just got it slapped until a light shade of red.

Well, that's true, but you didn't get roasted. Not even close.

No you didn't. That's not true.
