Is that image flipped?

No, if it was flipped the numbers would be backward.

The top image looks flipped because it is the backside of the dash panel--supposedly this guy removed the whole thing and put those bits of paper behind the cutouts before closing it up again.

They say "Post-it notes" but I think they mean Post-it tape flags.

edit: and even if they don't mean that, I think the tape flags would work better. More vibrant.

Yes, can't show the backside without flipping it over or up.

Unfortunately, the colored part of the tape flag isn't sticky.

Well, goddamn, man don't ya think I know what numbers look like?

The other one, maybe?:eyebrow:

How the fuck would you see the back side if it wasn't flipped? :facepalm:

Obfuscater.

These were cool but didn't happen...

They are slick looking.. I can see the Corvair in the first two, but the bottom two... some kind of Pontiac, from the split grille and the badge/emblem on the left rear fender in the bottom image. But what Pontiac?

Pontiac LeMans.

Oh a Corvair. My grandfather had one in Miami, FL. He carried 3 fan belts. He would be driving and it would flip off somewhere and he would stop and put on a new one.

We lived in New Orleans and met him in Belmont where the Perry's hail from. Everything was sweet until we got to the blue ridge. That little car couldn't make it up the hills. They removed their luggage and put it in my father's Buick. The little car still couldn't make it. My granddaddy was a GM man, but when he got back to Miami he traded it in for a Tbird.

Slickest one I've seen:

Found in the wilds of the Interweb.

Apparently the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport is a pretty good car.

If ya can keep wheels on it. No, not tires, wheels.

In 40,000 miles wheels were bent or cracked ten (10!:3_eyes:) times.

Such a bargain...

Hope it comes with a gallon of eyebleach...

That is impressively ugly. Really, I appreciate the extra effort.

Makes me think of Dick Tracy for some reason.

The pattern in the boot is very swastika esque.

Love the shape.... But weasel leather? Is that a thing? I bet it's really human skin. Crazy Oligarchs.

" O L I G A R C H S "
 

It's crazy that these super-rich, predatory business overlords with unethical influence over the government and legal system have so mush cash piled up that they waste it on these unnecessarily ostentatious displays of wealth!

Over there. Where the bad people live.

All these new(er) cars w/the high belt line and short side windows remind me of the cars from Dick Tracy. Yer 300s, and yer Magnums, especially.

high belt line !!

like men's suits in the 40s

:p:

I wasn't sure what to call it.

Yes, it's the beltline, Chrysler raised it to make the side windows shorter. According to their research, that way the occupants feel more secure without lowering the roofline.

Or maybe people like it because they can be bigger assholes if they think nobody can see them.:eyebrow:

Anyway, Rolls-Royce hood lady.

I believe some artistic liberties were taken there...

Or, the sculptor was blind.

I figured it had something to do with side airbags, door airbags, safety curtains, etc. Smaller hole to be thrown through in a crash...

That made me remember this album by Ted Nugent, Nugent.

The inner sleeve says at the bottom "This record is manufactured with 100% reprocessed back-stage nookie hide." Or words to that effect.

The other side says "For maximum effect, this record should be played loud, and often." Or words to that effect.

Laguna!

Chevy Chevelle, C10 and K10 Silverado display new crate engines at SEMA

I'll take a dozen...

Attachment 65241

$381 in 1927 equals $5,306.53 in 2018. I'll still take a dozen. :yesnod:

You may have missed this fine print :

*not to scale

"$381 in 1927 equals $5,306.53 in 2018. I'll still take a dozen"

But you can pay $30,000 or more for a new Ford truck.

With rubber floor mats and radio and A/C delete, maybe...:neutral:

A Ford King Ranch is closer to $100,000.

The hood ornament looks better.

They came pretty close on the production version...

Would you buy this for $12,000? It is all original and runs like a bat outta hell.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2fc08089f2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8991fb87e7.jpg

$12,000?:eyebrow:

Something's up with that car, or it's in pretty rough condition...

The VIN # alone ought to be worth close to that.

'68-69?

This is sounding better and better all the time.

Why do airbag's get the apostrophe but electric windows don't?

Because people who drive VWs are dumb. http://cellar.org/2012/bwekk.gif

Plus one for attention to detail

He's wrong about the electronic injection though.

Some of the bells and whistles on newer cars make them more reliable.

My dad was always talking about "the points" being the problem when our 70's era VW bus wouldn't start. He had this thickness guage that he was regularly using to adjust them. Kept the guage handy in the ashtray up front. Modern ignition systems and fuel injection are far superior to points and carburetors and make a car exponentially more reliable.

Yes more reliable with less maintenance, but when it doesn't work you need some very expensive diagnostic equipment to find out which of the eleventeen expensive computers is at fault.

What Bruce said.

One thing leads to another...

At SEMA in Vegas today...

Good lord.

I, personally, don't speak fluent metal. But I must say I love the soaring musicality of such a performance.

Metal paint + time +money
I was thinking sterling silver.

If that's paint it must be as think as Bondo. :eyebrow:

It is thick as bondo. They build it up, carve it, then spray the shiny coat over it.

Hurricane Florence has forced many sales because people need fast cash. It is a buyers market.

How about this one. Its a 90 something I forget. A GMC Sonoma. Clean as a pin inside. Engine is clear for its age. 165k power everything has 3 doors. Anyway some that know say $4200 is good price others say 2500. It could use a Earl Shrine paint job, but if kept clean it wouldn't be noticeable. Why did have to be black. Red would be much better.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eb25d5d2a0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...694f96a60e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...98004e97bb.jpg

My spell checker is working overtime this morning or maybe I shouldn't have smoked a bowl while sitting in the drive thru at Walgreens. Disco is playing on the radio. Life is grand.

It's newer than 95. I had a 95 S-10, bought it new, it had the older style headlights, not the flush mounts.

One of five known to exist, coming up for auction in the spring...

Most people are familiar with Jeeps, Willys wagons, Jeepsters, and of course the Cherokee/Wagoneer lines.
But there have been some almost Willys...

I've seen the other generation F-bodies with this treatment, but, I've never seen this one. A 85 T-top, 5 liter, 5-speed, Kammback Firebird.

I kinda like it. I think the side view is the best shot.
