    Missing VIN's????

    If you have the door tag and the VIN tag, you're probably okay just to go in & have them look as they will. If they flag it for inspection - then return with the proof. Mike had some original CHP manuals and I had photos of numerous other 1968s showing the tag on the right side. My car...

    Missing VIN's????

    I had to go through the VIN verification process when I registered my last CS because the tag was on the passenger side instead of drivers side. I called Mike "somethingspecial" who brought in proof that '68 was the only year they did that, plus photos of all my other '68s w/ tags on the...

    My Last Drag Races at LACR

    As it turned out, I didn't get to meet up with them, but had two nice phone conversations w/ Joe and one w/ Marion. CALIF GIRL had to work and Joe had the John Force show. Sadly; my father-in-law has terminal cancer and his 93 yr. old mother lived nearby. My brother-in-law is moving them to...

    Power Steering HP Hose Meltdown

    I had the same problem w/ the CS clone. The standard bracket didn't work because of the shape & placement of the headers. We had to use steel braided lines and do some creative tie-wrapping to get it to work Make sure you have someone observe while you cycle the steering "stop to stop" so the...

    ADMIN - One of our own has passed away

    ...This whole fly-by business got started when I wanted to see about getting a few aerial pictues of the BBQ to augment the many ground (and orchard ladder) shots we had last year. All to round out what will be another historic event thanks to Mike & Robinette... So I approached a pilot...

    Okay Mike, I'll proceed w/ that. I've always wanted to get a good aerial to augment the many ground shots and last year's orchard ladder ;-) Will you have a spot for the Mach Is et-al?
