Frosty

Even more justification for buying a generator and several large gas cans !!!!

Question will be how much will it cost now that it has a slightly bigger engine and larger battery capacity?

Let me guess - this thing is entitled "Old Goats Put Out to Pasture".

This appears to me to be the 2nd '54 Corvette Nomad recreation I've seen or read about. Another one was built to be an exact replica of the '54 Waldorf Astoria Motorama car. The actual Motorama Nomad car was built on a modified '53 Chevy sedan chassis, from the windshield posts forward it was all stock Corvette. https://history.gmheritagecenter.com/wiki/index.php/1954_Chevrolet_Corvette_Nomad_Concept It was this Corvette that was the inspiration for the Nomad concept car that came out the same time the Solstice concept came out. The Nomad Concept is now painted black and it is in the GM Heritage collection. In fact, GM unveiled three Corvettes at the '54 Motorama in New York. The coupe would go into production with the Corvette name. The Nomad name would be used on the upscale full size Chevrolet Bel Air line starting in 1955. It is the Corvette Corvair that most people have either never seen or heard of. Clearly, GM would re-use the Corvair name in the sixties for the flat six rear engine subcompact that would lead Ralph Nader to write his book "Unsafe At Any Speed". '54 Corvette Corvair According to the GM Heritage collection website, the Corvette Corvair is only rumored to have survived the crusher after its Motorama / show car life ended. No evidence has been found to show that it survives to this day or that more than one was actually built. The original Nomad is also believed to have been destroyed. https://history.gmheritagecenter.com/wiki/index.php/1954_Chevrolet_Corvette_Corvair_Concept

Welcome the regular Monday-Friday work routine.

I had a power outage at my house this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, DVD, iPad and my new surround sound music system were all shut down. Then I discovered that my iPhone battery was flat. To top it off, it was raining so I couldn’t go for a walk, bike or run. The garage door opener needs electricity so I couldn’t go anywhere in the car. I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this also needed power, so I sat and talked with my wife for a few hours. She seems like a nice person.

What???? No Friday visits??? Wow!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! Wishing everyone lots of horsepower, paint, and chrome in the New Year !

Taking my father to see the Hobbit in 3D IMAX.

Do you think I should show these photos to the OPP?

Beats Canuckistan - except perhaps for the coffee.

You will ....... (sigh) and you have. I am still wondering if that was an badly abused and stretched Speedo or male G-string within all the hair, but honestly, I still don't want to know the answer. Really.

The two Chevy concept cars that come close to looking like the Banshee that I could find in this time frame are: The 1988 Chevy Venture Concept The 1986 Chevy Corvette Indy

Filled up the wife's Traverse today after lunch....$1.729 / gallon (that was the cash and credit price).

Here is a short film about the Banshee. As you can see, this is a working, driving concept car, unlike the 1999 Concept GTO. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9R1bvIXPkQ I will have to check - I am not aware of any that looks like the Banshee per se. Do you think the Chevy versions came out in the same time frame?

It can't be any worse than the crap he already emails and picture texts me. I was right, it isn't !!!

I remember that. JUSTA6 reminded us (back then) to light some candles and say some prayers for you when you were having the surgery. I am glad God listened and helped you out. I am glad you are feeling well enough to get back into your cars again. Welcome back buddy!

Excellent job and very creative work. Just knowing about these mirrors existed, knowing that they were available on the SSE/i models, finding them and adapting them to your car is at the very heart of hot rodding. Its the little things that makes a car custom to you and your own tastes, and they don't have to break the bank either.

$1.78 for cash, $1.86 for credit at the Sunoco near my dad's house. Saw it for $1.80 cash and credit at the Admiral station near the old AC Spark Plug plant.

What are you plans for the interior?

I installed some new Weather Tech front and back custom fit floor mats for the Envoy that I got for Christmas. Then I cleaned the seats, dash, and console with some of the 303 Products Fabric & Vinyl Interior Cleaner I had from winning Ride of the Month back in 2013.

How much is the special sale price of the T/A ? And why the hell didn't you come home with the T/A ?
