Blackie? if you're going to keep riding my wavelength I'm gonna have to charge you a fare.....
not to make you jealous or anything but in my teens I worked in a car restoration shop where all we did was work on late '60s corvettes, mustangs, camaros etc. All the pony cars.
At one point we had: 66, 67 68 corvettes, 66 67 69 camaro SS, 67 mustang fastback, 65 mustang coupe. 71 vette with 454 (we were swapping the 454 auto to a 350 4 spd)
Part of the "deal" was that when we finished a car, we would get use of it for a saturday night. One time we finished 3 of them at once so the boss, my buddy, and I went off cruising yonge street on a hot summer night.....oh MAN I remember that.
One '67 vette we did a frame off restoration. It was going to be a show car so a lot of stuff was chromed (upper and lower control arms etc) and the frame filled and smoothed and painted a nice deep blue lacquer. So I came up with the bright idea that anywhere something chrome was bolted to something blue, the nut or bolt should be blue too. I spend 2 weeks sitting inside and around that frame painting fucking nuts and bolts.....
