..All points true & good!, but IMO Jeff and David said it best.

...Pretty neat Rhonda! 'Never knew there was such an animal. I like the old Lockheed Ventura in the picture too :-) The 69-70 Shelby's with 428s were appealing to me, but like David, I never considered them in the same bracket as the 65-68s. They were more of a Ford option than a true...

...Yes, I saw that sometime back. I wondered if I'm the 17-yr old the text referred to (since I bought that car at age 17) Nonetheless, it's a great feature and nothing short of a miracle what Mike has done to make that car what it is today! You would have to have seen it to believe it...

...I believe we have you (modestly) covered Rob!

...Wow! What awesome garages and great ideas from all you talented people! I must say I'm now a little embarrassed at what I built for Rob (for Christmas) Uh ....I guess I thought he was serious when he said "modest".... ;-)

Yes Sharon, that picture dates about 1963. I had forgotten about that red pedal tractor ;-) Remember too, we had a 3-wheel predicessor to the "big wheel" called the X-15. Various wheelbarrows and hand trucks also made for "speed" down the steep driveway until the handles wore off. Those were...

Funny thing Marty, of all the things you can wish for on your birthday - "laying some rubber" in a Stang wasn't going to be possible today ;-) Spinning tires certainly was though! Thank you Renee, Rich, Sharon, Joe, Ralph & Karen, Neil, Doug, Marty and Mustanger for the well wishes! You folks...

...That's pretty neat...

Hi Bob, No, I didn't realize you left that nice looking shirt behind. I used the one from the photo below for the little "chuckle" :-) As for sticking up for you? Golly! You are among the most dedicated, straight-shooting and good-hearted men I've ever had the privilege to meet...and THAT is...

...Oh my God! ...Bremerton!! ...Is that near Seattle?? HANG IN THERE BOB! DON'T DO IT!! I'm sending reinforcements!!! ;-)

...So true! This happens everytime someone asks for suggestions. A lot of great ideas and perspectives come as a result (benefitting everyone), but in the end - she's your baby! :-)

Indeed Steve. I knew all that from the beginning which is why I was able to impress Rob all the more! Next time I will really have to work at it! Truly though... I never had any apprehension or worry. And if you did "kiss the ditch"?... We had the best talent in the world on hand to make it...

...Tires are P215 R60/14 front and P245 rear. Both rated mud & snow on 14" styled steel wheels...

...Well, I pulled my receipts folder out and remembered doing a stock front-end rebuild with ball joints, 4 new (stock) springs (previous springs were cut too low), new power steering control valve and a rear sway bar kit. Nothing fancy or pricey. I also replaced the diff. pumkin with a 3:08...

...I would agree more with Jeff & Bob in this case, because the value of the difference lies completely in your cars heritage. Without knowing the upgrades you're thinking of, all I can say is the world (and car shows) are full of hopped up 65 & 66's that are mostly a "blur" to me anymore... I...

Careful Rob! I think Mike is working today!! ;-)

Mike, that's what I've been thinking all along. P.S. Boy, good thing you didn't get him going on "Star Wars" again with that "black hole" talk! I was thinking more along the lines of "Blazing Saddles" with the "quick sand" scene.... Rob - Don't step off the rail!! ;-)

Renee, Few people capture the holiday spirit like you do! Congratulations and Happy Thanksgiving! Like "Sam" says; "We have so much to be thankful for"! The friendships of you and so many others here, our families and activities paramount! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Rich! Let me know if you need more "backups". We have plenty here! ;-)

...What Neil says. None of mine have them either...
