Come on guys stick with it. Where did all the old geezers go. Is it free cheese Friday or something. We know John is distracted while he's sparkin' a new gal, but what about the rest of you? My wife sent me to heckle you guys, because she's tired of being heckled about engine color, and cubic inches too.

:) May be time for another glue bomb cbp. Of course, I cannot make it. lol
I'm here kinda, I'm actually on the road in Florida trying to escape winter blahs. Did score a Mongoose model at hobby lobby with a 40% coupon. The 69 Falcon rebuild is at home waiting for paint as the 55 chevy frame is ready.
More info on color and C.I. please...
Spring is here.....welllllllll....at least for some.....ways to go before the snow around these parts is long gone.....the temps are still slow to get up to real April "heat".....still have not put one of my snow shovels away.......lol
James 2 did you mean me and my falcon? It will be black and white and run a big block. My inspiration comes from a 63 falcon built by Herold Smith for Paul Radford to drive at Martinsville, Trenton and Bowman Grey.
I have been kind of toying with the idea of building an early Falcon that ran at our little bullring. It was a '62 or '63 2door sedan with a 302 smallblock in it. The guy that drove it said he loved the combination because he could pretty much drive her pedal down most of the time. He said he used wrecking yard engine when he started out, and Fords instead of Chevies, because they were more plentiful. All he usually changed on those early engines was the timing chain, and the oil pump, he said. He actually won quite a few races with those early cars.

I am back to the bench. Thinking about doing another short track shoe-string-budget-beater-box like my '72 Chevelle only it will be a '64 Dodge 330. Thinking all black (flat or satin) with black rims as well. Still just a twinkle in my eye. ;)
Here's a first.....for me anyway....
logged into Randy Ayer's sight just a couple of minutes ago, and in roughly a 24 hour span there was NOT ONE post in the following sections....
NASCAR Modeling Discussion
The Showroom
Grayside Racers Corner 1973-1989
Darkside Racers Corner 1948-1972
and 1 (ONE) post in the Fab shop section......
not too many other posts in the other catagories either...
This is the first time since I joined Randy's sight back around 2006 that there was NOTHING posted in the top listed catagories at the same time......!!!
So, it is just not this board that's quiet....... :o
I think maybe everyone is trying to cure cabin fever. I've been to the track a couple of nights.

Is Randy's quiet because everyone moved over to farcebook?
Brian, some may not have come back after the big crash late last year......though that is just my opinion......
But, yes, F/B could have something to do with it. if for nothing else one does not need a separate host for posting pics.....especially after what Photobucket did. Some may be "gun shy" that other image hosting sites may follow PB lead....again just my opinion....
If Fakebook ever becomes the only way to post a thread or build pics, I will never be heard from again, ever. I am sure that would make a few folks happy but I will NOT jump on the FB wagon. I will post up some things here when I finish smearing some more gloo, I don't have enough finger prints on my latest project yet. And besides, the paint looks to shiny, I gotta barf it up a little.
Don't get to emotionally attached to farcebook, I have my doubts that it will be around in a few years...it will fall by the wayside like internet chat rooms and myspace.
The technology is out there that supports the idea of being able to post pictures direct from your files eliminating 3rd party hosting....it's just a matter of if and when Mac or Microsoft give the middle finger to the 3rd party hosting sites with a software version that eliminates the need for their services.
IN THE MEAN TIME.....I would not worry about other 3rd party hosting sites fallowing in p-buckets foot steps attempting to do the same thing that they did almost a year ago.
Remember this from last Summer.....I am sure that Fotki was not the only one doing this.....

What p-bucket did was to drive members to other photo hosting sites in droves......their business model was more akin to business suicide...untold hundreds of thousands world wide where effected in varying degrees by the decisions made by the brain trust at p-bucket.
and you lost me.........no big deal
