[Chevelle-list] O/T; TOP 10 REASONS FARM TRUCKS AREN'T STOLEN
Thought we could use a laugh. You can file one or more reasons under been there and done that. 10. They have about 20 miles before they overheat, breakdown or run out of gas. 9. Only the owner knows how to operate the door to get in or out. 8. It is difficult to drive fast with all the fence tools, grease rags, ropes, chains, syringes, buckets, boots and loose papers in the cab. 7. It takes too long to start, and the smoke coming up through the rusted-out floorboard clouds your vision. 6. The Border Collie on the toolbox looks mean. 5. They're too easy to spot. The description might go something like this: The driver's side door is red, the passenger side door is green, the right front fender is yellow, etc. 4. The large round bale in the back makes it hard to see if you're being chased. You could use the mirrors if they weren't cracked and covered with duct tape. 3. Top speed is approximately 45 mph. 2. Who wants to steal a truck that needs a year's worth of maintenance, u-joints, $3,000 in body work, tail-lights and windshield? 1. It is hard to commit a crime with everyone waving at you.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Morphing Photo at Car Show
Yea. It was called the Grand Slam. About 550 cars but there were a lot of new cars there as well as the old. Signed Shelby Mustangs, New Vettes etc. I didn't even realize they had one at the State Fair. Was there a cost to enter? Sounds like sooner or later we may end up at the same show.

Was that the show at harford community college. I was going to go there but the guys I was going to go with decided to go to the one at the Maryland state fair instead. So I went there with them. It still was a good time, although they did'nt hand out any trophys. There's been a bunch of cars meeting at the wall mart on rt. 43 on sat. evenings. Last week I met a guy with a 70 chevelle that looked just like mine and I guess yours too. It was pretty cool seeing another one. Allthough he had a 454 instead of the 396. I've been having a great time showing her off. I had the only 70 ss at the fair yesterday, so it drew alot of attention. Anyway I just wanted to say congratulations. Bob. -- Original message -- From: Dan Solomon [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was at a car show this weekend and saw a photo sitting in front of a truck that changed as you walked by. It showed a picture of the truck as a rust bucket and then it changed to a photo of the same truck restored. What a great idea if you started with a basket case like I did. I spoke with the guy but he couldn't tell me who it bought it from, just that he picked it up at a show. I did some searches on the web and found out that they are called Lenticular images but cant find anyone that sells single large photos. Anyone on the list come across a vendor that sells these prints? If you have a company name it would be appreciated. By the way, it was the first show I entered and I brought home a trophy! Oh yea!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Top ten reasons farm trucks are not stollen
But the $1000 worth of diesel in the transfer tank in the back will make it a little more tempting !
