My life is complicated and I see that my friends are now actively engaged in complicating it further.

So I guess I should check my inbox for letters of encouragement/harassment from Herrs Rodge and Freudenberger...........

Don's just jumped up..... there'll be a photo next.

Ok Dr. G, here's the deal, show up at SaltTalks and you will receive a brand new, still in the plastic, shirt to match your hat.
You can wear a large, right.
Well if not, you have two months to diet and exercise.
Well, what do you say?

I like the petrol blue colour on any car but it works particularly well on this corsa with silver rear panel and blue wheels... Good for the hot Aussie sun. I think they are bargains with an almost Italian flair... Yet so American.

There was one with a v8 in the cab on eBay last month but I presume that would not be allowed in being modified.

Rev, the one in Louisiana is a dead nuts ringer for my first Corvair.  Still a gorgeous design.

Paid $600 for it in 1979, drove the wheels off of it, picked up another one in 1982 and did the same.  Had to lose them both when I moved to Wisconsin.

The heater was not as good as the MGB's I've had, but man-o-manischewitz, did those things go through Iowa snowstorms.

Still the only Chevy I would ever own.

Why is it parked next to a recycling bin?

Petrel.

Man, they're good lookin cars, I really like the pillarless.

Hey Don,
might be better if you send that shirt to....oh it doesn't matter.......

So you need something original so you can import it and classically american, And a good price so:

Some other ideas:
Gotta love that boot detail and rear seats of this thunderbird

Wow, that's great! At the rate I am sending you these babies you'll have thousands to choose from!

Ok, cool. But it does raise the possibility of finding something special, for example, you may have a cornucopia of bikes in that she'd of yours but I bet you don't have one of these: (warning: seller's name is Frank)

And then you could tow this with it:

Might need to declare it at customs though.

If one has an idea of vehicles to search for, more cars sell through Craigslist than fleaBay.  For example:

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/3027733209.html

Or, try a site called, "bringatrailer.com."

Look out Max, if you're not careful you'll be on the mailing list for un-restorable cars, weird trucks, rotting boats, nearly finished home-built aircraft and replica military equipment.

How's that T-shirt coming along Rev?

I bit the bullet today . I have nearly finished stripping the car down for a trip to the blasters. I won't put any pictures here because it really needs it. Two or three crappy lick-overs with a brush have really made it look pretty bad, seeing how we have the rear superstructure off to get the diff set up I thought this is the time to bare metal it and paint it properly again.It'll be red, yellow, black or silver, just have to make a decision. The yellow is good because it makes things that are dropped easy to see.....maybe silver this time.............yellow has pretty poor opacity which is why it looks so shitful now... silver enamel dries quickly but isn't quite as chip resistant as the epoxy enamel we had..... ultimately I think the ability to touch it up is the most important though

Rustoleoum brown primer from a spray can---touches up easy---covers WELL

Good on ya, I reckon you're building yours so fast the paint will still be wet at scrutineering........
