On Sunday, I took the Cameo pickup to a local car show. It took home Best of Show for pre-‘79 truck. I got lots of comments and had many extended conversations about the truck. With the custom chassis and all Corvette suspension, it’s a very fun truck to drive.

I completed a couple of projects on Lori’s ’55 Bel Air. The car came with a Dakota Digital dash and matching clock, but the clock didn’t work - it was stuck at noon/midnight. I was able to reach up under the dash and determine there was no wiring to the clock. It just takes a Cat5 cable and...

Need to get a little caught up here. When Sunday morning at Autorama came around, I found a 1st place in my class plaque next to my car. Our group of 7 cars earned 3 firsts, a 2nd, 2 3rd and a class award - something for everyone. I thought the Sebring Orange ‘68 got screwed - he ended up...

Glad to see this one back on the "let's work on this!" list!! We'll stay tuned for updates!

Good luck with all that! Glad to see you moving forward. Best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. With your perseverance, you'll be there in no time!

Sterling, my wife gave me this for Christmas a couple of years ago. I have done my level best to live up to this!

I’m with you on the RV. We were partners in one for 15 years or so and I thinker and I used it for ourselves maybe 1 or 2 times. Was nice to be able to talk about it, but it wasn’t practical for us. I’m jealous of all the cool trips Mike zmotorsports gets out of his, but I will live vicariously...

Looks like pure trouble, too, with that destroyed golf cart seat!! So sorry for your loss - it’s never easy watching our loved companions cross the rainbow bridge!!

Justin, thanks for sharing. It's a big step to allow yourself to be that vulnerable. One thing I've found on this forum is that it's comprised of a bunch of folks who are willing to share not only their aptitudes, but also their experiences and feelings. I look at all of that as a continuing...

I guess I'm the outlier here. I have had at least one water toy continuously since 1978, starting with a Baja replica 15'9" runabout with a 115 HP Merc, to our current toys - a 2005 Malibu Sunsetter LXi, a 22' party barge and 2 SkiDoos. While I have had a few minor issues along the way, it has...

Glad to hear your recovery is ahead of schedule. PT's are worth their weight in gold, if you can latch on to a good one!

Yeah, but what's the fun in that?? We'll find a way to get back at them somehow - just saving up for now!! I'm just glad to see someone else has grown kids who still like to annoy their parents in innocuous ways!!!

There's a little more to the story that I heard, and I'll share how it has impacted me personally. On the way to visit a friend, miss Allison was thinking about how she could make her visit meaningful once she had departed. On a whim, she passed a display of miniature ducks in a novelty store...

I have one NOCO that came with the '57 Cameo. ALL my other chargers (and there are a bunch) are Battery Savers - https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Saver-Premium-Maintainer-3015L-G3/dp/B0B41CZ9V8/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Lone Star Corvette Club display at Dallas Autorama. We have my C1, 2 C2’s, 2 C4’s a C3 and a C8 E-Ray. The C3 is a stunning 5-year build that was featured in the latest issue of Modern Rodding. It has LT5 (ZR1) power on a Street Shop chassis and all the body panels are are custom wide body...

While at the GNRS, we had another SNAFU in addition to the key saga. Once we got the car positioned, I was opening the trunk (it opens electrically) when I hear a snap and the trunk slams shut!! My show board and detailing supplies were in the trunk and I needed access. I was able to manually...

It’s move in day for the Dallas Autorama. All ready to load up. Tied down and ready to go. Before we could move in, we had to put down our black & gray flooring. I didn’t get a shot of the club display before I left, but will grab one tomorrow.

Good luck, bud! Will be waiting for a report - I may have one of these surgeries in my future, just trying to put it off as long as possible. Shoulder only hurts in the morning when I get up - tolerable for now. Have already had 2 rotator cuff surgeries on this one.

Next up, the Lone Star Corvette Club asked me to put my '60 Corvette restomod in this weekend's Dallas Autorama. The last time I showed this car at this event 3 years ago, I got comments about the undercarriage being dirty. So, off to cleaning I went. End result - I wasn't able to remove a...

Couldn’t agree more!! Can’t remember when it was built, but could have been yesterday. There’s nothing to date the build!!
