 Had some snow, so I had to get some pics of the yellow GT with some white in the
background.

Don't look at the fishing pics!

I finally figured out what's been bugging me about the back end of
these cars. See how the black sections in front break up all the body
color nicely? The back needs some of that, between the lights and maybe
something down below.

Not trying to be anti-patriotic, but that ribbon sticker *will*
leave a ghost image in your paint when you remove it down the road. I
still don't understand why people don't just stick them on the glass.

Did you catch a Barracuda? Marlin? Stingray?

Agreed. But I have to admit, it looks pretty good in yellow.

Yeah, yellow's a happenin' thing. Very similar to the 1970 D-code
Competition Yellow which my Torino GT is supposed to be.

Good reason. No wonder I get a headache in the Walmart parking lot,
what with the plate in my head. Still leaves a ghost, though. At least
you can move them around.

You see AMT's Corvair re-issue?

 From looking at your last pic of the hood. That thing could really use a 1

Thanks for the ghost image tip. The sticker is gone!

Most of the fish are rockfish from the Chesapeake Bay. Also called Striped Bass,
or 'stripers'.

See now, back in the day this would have been funny, as the above
fish I mentioned were all other American cars that a Mustang owner
might have gone trolling on asphalt for. Oh, how people have forgotten!

 I know there has to be a wise crack in here somewhere about yellow snow, I
just cannot seem to come up with one.

It looks great, something about a bright yellow car that is a real head
turner.

If there's one to be had I'm sure Zomby Woof can come up with it.

Punching the cash register buttons while your employee installs a car
alarm does not count as "working on a car." I'm still waiting on your
response to the conclusion that prior to this Torino project of yours
you had not worked on an on-topic car for years. It's pretty simple:
true or false?

So, now you change the "criteria" in this little farce of yours to
"on-topic car for years". What a fucking idiot.

And what if I hadn't? Does that make a difference? There is nobody
in this group that has a more varied auto background than I do. Nothing
you can whine about will change that.

This should be *25* years ago. Little Ricky did not even turn 16 until
1972, 32 years ago. It was about then that Mommy and Daddy bought him

Neat. Speaking of push-button trannies, IIRC my Dad's '57 Merc had
one. Wish I had that thing now...

Cool. That's the 'A' paint scheme. Ever see the 'B' scheme? It's
got the stripes on the lower part of the body down by the rocker
panels. BTW, I noticed that model is a Jo-Hann. Definitely below the
quality of the AMT kits back in the day, but they get extra points
just for having an S/C.

That company was recently revived, but the new owners are severe
Thumpers. Hence, I do not buy any of the re-issues. But I do have
several of the originals, including a Marlin and the '70 Rebel Machine.

Neat pic on their page - the Chrysler Turbine IIRC. Now the Rebel
Machine wasn't too shabby in its day, even though it should've been
made earlier than '70. Mid 14s in the 1/4 off the showroom floor:

That link also claims that contrary to popular belief, the '64 GTO
wasn't the first muscle car - that title is credited to the '57
Rambler Rebel with a Nash 327 V8. Interesting.

I tend to attribute that title to the '57 F-code Fairlane. A 312
with a blower would certainly outrun the Rebel.

Very cool. I had no idea that a blown 312 existed back then.
"Horsepower galore for checkered flag performance!", "...surging 300
horsepower!" Fabulous marketing back then.

BTW, I love the pix of the guys in white coats checking the engines.
It's just so.. Americana.

Jeez, you really are getting lame.

Agreed. That was some pretty rote flame humor there.

Hey, I have some more updates on the Limp Rick bio:

"Anyway, the business season is starting to crank up around here, so
I'll be getting scarce soon. Remember, I have to 'sohc' away some money
here. What sucks about having a 'subterranean' income is that you
cannot qualify for loans, and must buy everything for cash (like I
bought this house). If biz is moderate, I should be able to sohc away
about 10k a month for the next 6 or 7 months, and then see what I want
to do at that point."

http://groups-beta.­google.com/group/rec­.autos.makers.ford.m­ustang/msg/a92b484db­d2e6c82
(Sept 21, 1999)

So it looks like I was wrong about you being a welfare cheat. Instead
you're a tax cheat. Actually, it's more likely that you're both.
Clearing $60,000-70,000 per year in "subterranean" income for at least
the past five years. Owning your home outright, sitting on hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of collectible cars, and another few ten
thousand in spare parts. Living on a cash basis to hide it all. Yeah,
you probably are both a welfare cheat AND a tax cheat. A thieving
lowlife in two directions at once.

I've also turned up some stuff about street racing a 455 ci Olds 4-4-2.
So you did have a for-real hot rod at one point, and you even street
raced with the big boys.

"In 1978 I went from driving a 12.5 sec 455-powered Olds 4-4-2 (still
got it) every day to a new 2.3 Liter Ford Courier. . . .

". . . In 1986 I sold the Courier and . . .bought a two-tone 86 Cougar
with a 19 sec 3.8 and power everything. It fit my sales rep job and
continued to keep me out of trouble with the law."

http://groups-beta.­google.com/group/rec­.autos.makers.ford.m­ustang/msg/1b5ed7400­6a5f217
(February 13, 1998)

Here's another one:

"P.S. You're still 6-7 tenths slower than my old daily driver Mustang.
Less typing, more wrenching!

"P.P.S. My D.D. after the Mustang was a 12.7 second 455-powered 4-4-2.
Isn't that just an Olds Chevelle?"
riored97cobra#301> 13.88 @ 102.5

http://groups-beta.­google.com/group/alt­.autos.camaro.firebi­rd/msg/885510a6590b4­a38
(April 25, 1998)

So the 4-4-2 was either a 12.5 or a 12.7 second car, depending on which
collection of gray cells are on duty on any given day. The bit about
the 289 Mustang being 6 to 7 tenths quicker than 13.88 (i.e.,
13.18-13.28), I don't know about that one. It's possible, but sounds
more like some latter-day revisionist bench racing to me. And we all
know how much you hate that kind of stuff, don't we?

But anyway, you really WERE a legit street racer -- 25 YEARS AGO!

One last thing, before I exit this conversation. It's not about what
you know, it's about the doing. This whole thing started when someone
posted that you were the do-er and NoOp Patrick was the dreamer. I
posted a list of both your cars, and the fact that within recent memory
NoOp Patrick has spent more time actually working on his cars and
racing them than you have; that in fact you're a lazy liar who's
letting his old iron sit and rot while living off the memories from 20
to 30 years ago. I can pile on the evidence over and over, but them's
the facts. It's that simple. You've got the knowledge, but the doing
is all in the past. That's all. Not a big deal, not particularly
complicated. Any questions?

In closing, "Less typing, more wrenching!"

Dipshit, all that gets replaced during a restoration. Rot is rust. I
have three quarter-sized holes in 30 vehicles. Don't know anything

Sad, sad, sad. So now you re-define a word and I'm a dipshit because I
didn't know your private definition.

I'd say you're the one who doesn't know much. But that's because you
haven't worked on any of your old heaps for 20 years. If you ever were
to get busy with one of them you will find out that a lot can change in
20 years. Everywhere there's a water leak there's rust. All that
weatherstripping that isn't rotten but whatever it is, that's beem

coming into the cowl and collecting in the rockers or getting onto the
floorpans through rusted out ventilation intakes, all the water going
into trunks through backlight seals that aren't rotten but whatever
they are, and weatherstripping that isn't rotten but whatever it is
--you've got rust in all these places.

And just what word are the rest of us supposed to use from now on to
describe 35-40 year old weatherstrip that's cracked, dried up, missing,
and otherwise not sealing, now that we know that only dipshits call it
