    I have that same unit, bought it 15-20 years ago. I just completed a drag and drive event with it in place the whole time, was nice to have reference information.

    Jim and his '62 keep showing up on my TV. Several times in this one:
    EDIT: won't let me pick a start offset, so check out 49:05 from the beginning:

    Went for a little drive in the old Chevy today, to look at a crappy old car to buy for LeMons type stuff. It was in Show Low, which is almost in the mountains. Was a bit chilly, but I survived.

    The car turned the big 5-Oh. Again.

    Been there a few times visiting another one of my Nephews. Thought about moving there.

    Yeah, you may ask, but you probably won't find out until later today after I haul it home....

    it's a tad off topic, though. So it'll be on the off topic forum.

    Not sure why but now I have a Mills Brothers song stuck in my head. Looks like it could be fun.

    You have to paint it yellow before your LeMons rally!

  15. "Form follows function." What's the matter? Couldn't find an eight-door Aerobus?

    The real question is why would it be OT. Looks like a 64 Marathon to me. upload_2024-11-22_14-24-1.jpeg

    of course if you are going to put OT drivetrain in it, we don’t need the specifics yet. The year on the title is irrelevant. The body style is iconic and on topic as far as I can tell.
