Found My Car At The Peppermill At Hot August Nights...

A '41 Willies. I just LOVE these cars. This one was pretty nice. It's got the straight front axle, the high stance, red, but it's not blown. I want to build one of these when I get back to Wisconsin, but mine will have a huge huffer sticking out of the hood. I can't take anything away from this one though. It was immaculate beautiful....

Nice. A classic Hot rod.

I don't like the color, or the way he covered everthing up in the interior of this one. It was all done real nice though, lots of attention to detail.

Yeah I like more metal inside rather than depletion of the Nauga herd look that he has, but as far as I'm concerned that is the ONLY color for the exterior.

Here's my old ride and current one. Both the "correct" color.

I can't figger out how to upload images.

Well there's two ways to do it... one, you can use a image hosting web service like I do at flikr.com, or, I've enabled "Gallery", which there's a link to up at the top of the page. I think that's for uploading images to the board. I haven't tried it yet so, have a go at either way.

I tried gallery and couldn't make it work. I'll "photobucket" some stuff next week. I'm off to the Cabin for the weekend- its my 48th birthday and the wife's got something planned.

No problem in that Department.

Pale its not working.

I think it's the file type of that hosting. You're pic should be either be .jpg or bitmap. This one works fine...

Thanks. The wife and kids corrected me- I'll be 49, not 48. I feel real old now.

When I turn 50 I'll be in an easier class in my ski races. I'm looking forward to that actually.

Hey... your avatar... that wouldn't be you and your wife dressed in period clothes would it?

Yeah, back in college. We are planning another one with our kids. This time I'll be a blacksmith or a train engineer, and my son will be an inventor.

Well that's just cool. I have a couple different old west period get ups myself...

Um, I don't actually own these get-ups.

Hmmm... well, I do...

They dress up in period old west clothes up in Virginia City. One of my favorite places to visit around here, and I wanted to join in. I have a mountain man / scout outfit, and then a gentleman gunfighter suit, from the hat right down to the spurs. Pretty snazy stuff if I do say so myself...

Any fishnets?
