My former so corrupted PC is finally replaced. It took almost four weeks and two new HP's, 6 trips to Best Buy, one Geek Suad, home visit, and a nice visit with the general manager of the BB store, but it is done. The Speedway swanneck mirrors look great also. What with getting this PC back up, there has not been much time for the 34, and so there is still the upholstery panels to reinstall and some exterior paint chips to repair where the peep mirrors clamped to the upper doors, and oh yes on the right rear corner where when jockeying it around in the garage I backed the right rear corner into an open of my roll away. Not much damage to my baby, nothing a touchup won't fix Can't say the same for the roll away, however.
Another day in the great life. The right rear looks OK from here. New computers ****, but we are as addicted to using them as much we are to using our Hot Rods.
Got a very stupid question. When I log in, my p***word will not work, so I go through the process of setting a new one of course. Suggestions ?
''right rear looks OK from here''. The small s****e and body gouge is just above the '09' on the license plate. .Last summers picture, and also notice the the new swan neck mirrors have not replaced the peep mirrors here in this shot.
Now that Russ Meeks is fresh in my mind, (once again, and because of last Saturdays memorials let me point out the jag IFS in the picture was put there, by him sometime in the early to mid '60's for Ben Sebastion a Westcoast Show promoter who owned the car at that point in time. As close as I can come, it is out of an E Type according to the markings on the rearend, (IRS) that he also installed. When re-recreating it from stock to Hi_boy and boxing the fame, it was necessary to rebuild the rear cross member and "C" the frame rails 4", with a 4" kick at center for the right stance I was after, The rest , both IFS/IRS & Chroming Russ did. It all atill works great and shines like the day he put it in the Ford,
Not to poke at the wound too much, but were they able to retrieve all the old computer files? I hate having to fix computers. It's like waging battle against Predator, where you never really see where it is and what it is. I dig that your car was built in HAMB era, yet has stuff that was cutting edge and many would call OT.
P***word1, P***word2, P***word3......... Hell you're gonna write it on a post it and stick it to your monitor anyway!!
