MCACN Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals: Do I want to see muscle cars, or Vettes

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

You organized all of the barn find cars Ryan?  Nice work and a nice selection of photos too.

I did, I recruited them, organized and pushed almost every damn one around in that whole section!  There is a picture out there somewhere of me lying on the ground after slipping while pushing that 427 Nova.

[Ghoste]

Cold you say?  Welcome to Chicago huh?

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Got lucky though, the snow held off until Monday... now it is cold, snowy and icey.

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

Lady looks serious! Way too serious... 

[Ghoste]

It's a serious car.

[69_500]

Serious car yes, but the bezels aroung the marker lights should be B5 blue on that car not the white to match the stripe. That is if they wanted it to be like it was before the restoration process ever started.

[TUFCAT]

I saw the car in person (several times over the two days at MCACN) and its safe to say this is the most beautiful, and best restored 1969 Charger 500 Hemi on the planet.

I don't know if the bezel color is correct or not.  Having said that, if anyone points out this "flaw" to Ken Mosier be prepared for at least a 30-minute argument.  

It does make sense to me.  When the cars were delivered to Creative (without stripes), the marker lens bezels were body color.  I'm guessing the butchers at Creative weren't overly concerned about trivial things like painting bezels to match a stripe color.  

[69_500]

I have not seen the car since they did this last restoration on it. But the one done it prior was not the greatest. That being said the cars that Ken does do turn out very pleasing to the eyes.

Having not seen it in person I will reserve my opinion on which is the nicest restored Hemi 500 but it would be tough to beat the one done by Kori a few years back.

[Ghoste]

I would have to agree wioth you Danny for the same reasons.  I'd like to see this one in person obviously.

[Fred]

Well enjoy mine then!

Lady looks serious! Way too serious... 

She doesn't look to good at all if you ask me.............she wears glasses!   

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Don't feel bad.  Many of them did.....



Ryan

[TUFCAT]

She needs to get those awful stitches removed from her abdomen.

[JB400]

Looks like a scorpion.

[Ghoste]

Or a bad doodle.

[Fred]

Don't feel bad.  Many of them did.....



Ryan

I don't mean that she doesn't look good because she's wearing glasses.
I mean she doesn't look so good (as in being able to see) because she needs to wear glasses.  

[Ghoste]

That's the kind of thing that could work in my favor. 

[Fred]

Looks like a scorpion.

I just blew that pic up and it definitely looks like a scorpion.

[Fred]

That's the kind of thing that could work in my favor. 

What could work in your favour?

[TUFCAT]

mating with a blind scorpion.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

It is not a scorpion.  Just I guess you could say a "doodle".

Here she is so you can't see the tattoo on the Mr. Norm's Kawasaki.
