Thanks Ray. After seeing your car show pics, I should have tried some
tilting on the big silver IH
truck<http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2695.htm>.
That thing was awesome. All 300 or more that I took yesterday were uploaded
as shot. It was real sunny, and the group shots were overexposed. The
chances of me going back and editing are slim for a while. This was the best
show I have been to in a long time. Real car guys that did a lot of work
themselves. The guy with the Cutlass
SX<http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2931.htm>did
it all in his garage.
I still have the Concours to do, but might get that done over the weekend.
The 1st place in 60's was the white 66 Impala SS
427<http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2865.htm>.
That was a killer car. I loved that 4 door Rat
Rod<http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2948.htm>too,
is that the Blue
Flame
6<http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2950.htm>in
it? Or is that an earlier engine? The other car that was ultra cool,
was
this one:
http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2790.htm Man
there is a lot of time in that one. Click the 'next" button for more shots
on that.
The Sheriff's Car was the yellow
Torino<http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2852.htm>.
Is yellow invisible to Deer? ..... Jim? Or is it magnetic? The day he
finished the restoration, he got the last 2 pieces of chrome in the mail,
and got them on, then drove over to a buddies to show him, and a deer ran
right out in
front<http://www.myelcamino.net/cars/sheriff_perez_090410/pages/IMG_2851.htm>.
Try to find a grille for a Torino with hide away headlights that was only
made 2 years.
I am also doing some backup of files. My external HD crapped out, and I need
to get a 1TB version. Right now, they are going on DVD's. At least they are
going somewhere, so I don't lose 'em.
