I have like a 2” tall stack of receipts i gotta go through he’skept since he originally bought the car. I have no idea.

One of my best friends father is really into classics (he’s painted a couple of cars for Harold Lemay). I had him once it over and he gave it the double thumbs up.

For what i paid i was finding basic 350’s with no mods. Didnt think i was goimg to get a BB let alone built. To be honest I dont know alot about building classics

Those of us who've had muscle/performance cars back in the day, you included Paul, have gauges and monitor them, no worries The electric w/p is less drag on the engine, how much does that mean, I don't know for sure but I'm sure someone here with one who knows might be able to chime in

Well now you gotta show us a pic :). I love my grass and gardening too. During some home time w this pandemic I ripped out my entire front landscaping and redid it my way. Now we have some roses, hydrangeas, cat mint and bees pollinating all the time. My wife laughs at me because after the landscapers leave I still go out and do stuff to my lawn, hahaha.

I finally figured out why I couldn't upload pictures lol
 
Cleaned the crud off the sidewalk going to my shop with my 1600 psi pressure washer. I think you can see the difference it made.

I’m not sure. I guess it’s just dirt and debris that has accumulated over the years. Here is another picture which is a little different perspective. The first picture looked worse than it really was. Maybe the Zep precleaner I used caused that picture to look like it did.

 
The big Falcon had it's annual service today.

I hate leaving my cars for services. I spend so much time and effort protecting my cars and keeping them in good condition. Handing over the keys causes a lot of anxiety for me as I am not in control. The service went fine, and the technician was enthusiastic and interested in the car which really calmed my nerves. And joy of joys, they didn't wash it!! :xyxthumbs: That's my job for tomorrow. Im the MAN

I’m trying to sort my collection of vintage Cadillac ads. This is a test photo, trying to get the early 1950’s all in the same shot.

Do you think it’s ok to post them like this?

Or should they absolutely be horizontal in the pic?

Just need a quick opinion. Thx.

Maybe arrange them in a fan (half-circle) pattern, Ric.

But I don’t have the space for that.. It’s already so many ads that I have to separate each decade into 2 separate shots. [early 50’s - Late 50’s] etc. lol.

I’ve got the bar to work with. And trying to take the pic horizontally proved to be a bit of a PITA resulting in those shots being a bit too uneven for my OCD.
