Nice. As a kid I used to try to draw cartoons like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and
the Rat Fink Gang.

Mrs.E. and I took a belated honeymoon trip in a beautiful, white, '63
Riviera. I'd trade the Goat for one of those.

That '60 Impala on Gary Howard's site was something else.

I say gorgeous, but it's a Chevy. :)

Hit the send button too soon.

I've been mightly tempted to do another car - only this time I want to
do a custom. It took me four years to do the International from start
to finish although I drove it at the two year mark while working on
it.

Something unusual this time. High tech electronics, smoothed out
exterior - modern stuff. No big engines this time - maybe a four
cylinder with some goodies.

Oh well....

I have thought of doing a roadster with a flathead. Seems like everybody
has a big motor V-8, so not that unusual anymore.

I was downsizing with the car thing. I sold all of them except the '67 GTO
and the Porsche. (still use the little Ranger PU as the daily driver). But
the '63 Galaxie convertible was something that I've been looking for, for a
long time. When this one became available, I couldn't resist. It's not a
matching numbers show car like the Goat, but it runs and drives perfect.
The previous owner had sunk quite a few bucks into it with all new front end
components, new top and boot, rebuilt 390 and transmission, etc. It's a
flashback thing to my youth, I guess.

I have the Porsche at the dealership being serviced and having some work
done on the transmission. It "pops" out of gear if you are de-accelerating
in second gear. Turns out there was an assembly problem with the second
gear syncro in some of the 911 transmissions and Porsche will fix it under
warranty. That car is amazing. Fun, fast but still gets reasonably decent
fuel mileage at 19-20 mpg if driven somewhat sanely. I am going to stop
babying it and start driving it more often.

If I could find a '53 Chevy Bel Air coupe with the original 231 six
and "torgue flight" tranny, I'd buy it in a heart beat. Very first
car I ever owned. Bought it for $45 from Brown's Chevy in Marblehead
in 1965 - literally driven by a little old lady who lived out near
Fort Sewall to Star of The Sea on Sunday for Mass and was about it.

Mrs. Wave and I had that car all through high school.

I completely understand - I should pull the racing stuff off the
'Vette and put it back to orginal. The original intent was to keep it
until I got to where I am now, then have fun driving it to my heart's
content. For some reason, driving a 600+ horsepower straight line
ground missile just doesn't appeal to me anymore so maybe it's time to
put it all back to new condition and drive it until it fall apart.

Besides, it's hard to dirve that four plate clutch. :)

NASCAR cars ain't Fords, Chevys, or Dodges. They're not stock cars
anymore, and they bear no serious resemblance to any production line
vehicle. Why fans of particular marques identify with them I simply do
not understand.

Ah, Harry the NASCAR expert! Which NASCAR series are you talking
about, Harry? As to why fans identify with a brand is very simple. The
engines are made and distributed by the car manufacturer, that is if
you are talking about Sprint Cup cars. As for the different series,
when you get down to Sportman, ASA, etc. a lot more of the car is
directly manufactured by the companies. It's a damned shame you try SO
hard to sound like you know what you are talking about.
