Had hopes of finding parts for my Trans Am's I'm restoring. But my attorney had other plans he forgot to tell me about until the week before pate. So I missed the hard asses, and didn't miss the heat and being thursty as a dog. Any way maybe next year I'll get things together and make the trip. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Sorry I missed it. By chance do you want a 79 T/A ? Going this week for 2500.00. All it needs is the interior completed.. See ya, Jim. --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: COMM Port OS/2 (713) 980-9671 (1:106/2000) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 155 OLD CARS Ref: D5K00030 Date: 05/09/96 From: HENRY HAUSCHULZ Time: 12:25am \/To: ALL (Read 5 times) Subj: hi Hey all, this is my first post EVER on Fidonet :). I've got a somewhat old car (77 Monte Carlo) and I want to re-upholster the interior. I don't have alot of cash flow (people offer to do it for me, but too much $$$ is involved) and I was wondering if anybody had any tips before I take some indoor/outdoor lawn grass and a glue gun to it. :) --- GEcho 1.11+ * Origin: NIGHT STALKER BBS (1:2202/20) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 155 OLD CARS Ref: D5K00031 Date: 05/09/96 From: DOUG FRANCISCO Time: 09:22am \/To: STEVE FLECKENSTEIN (Read 5 times) Subj: RE: TOO FAR GONE..

Nope Brad, sorry. It turned out to be so badly trashed I didn't even send the pix. Vandals broke all the glass out of it and the interior just mouldered away. Once I got close enough to it to look decently I could see it was terminal..... Dang bees are still there, but the bull was sent to a different pasture. Gross or so of goats in there now.... ^..^ --- FidoPCB v1.5 beta-'j' * Origin: BOO!

This conference is carried on the FIDO-NET backbone and is moderated by Gerry Calhoun at 1:2004/0. These rules will be subject to change if a change seems needed or is requested. Enforcement of the rules will be handled in the echo and/or via net-mail. Repeated violations of the rules may be considered grounds for the offending node to have its link to this conference cut. Rule #1: Please try to keep your language suitable to all ages. Remember this message base is open to all age groups, and some may take offense to foul language. Rule #2: The topic here is OLD CARS. What makes a car an old car? For the purpose of this echo, a pre 1975 car in general is qualifed to be considered an OLD CAR. But this is a very flexible rule as limited production cars of newer vintage may be considered on topic. If in doubt, ask the Moderator. Rule #3: No unsolicited commerical sales announcements please. This echo is carried by sysops who foot the bills out of their own pockets for the most part. If sommebody asks for a source of a CAR-RELATED item, feel free to offer advice on where to look for something, or to mention that you have what they are looking for. If you have something which you feel may be of interest to somebody here and are NOT in the business of selling that item and it is OLD CAR-related, you may post about it here. Rule #4: No unsolicited BBS ads here. If you know of a system which has a program or file that somebody has asked about, feel free to post the name, phone number and location of the system, but no messages saying "Call this system now" type of thing. Rule #5: Keep the message-quoting to a minimum, please. Most BBS's are run out of the pockets of private sysops, and nobody wants to pay for (or see) a 20-line message quoted in full to have somebody else say "I Agree". Rule #6: Keep the personal attacks to a minimum, please. Everybody has seen messages posted by people who strike you as complete fools, but you do not have to call a person names in order to give an answer or correct him/her on a point. Hold the flames to a mimimum and try to keep this a fun place. These are all the rules for now. If any other points come up in the future, they will be addressed and added to this list if necessary. If there are any questions or comments about these rules, address them to me, Gerry Calhoun, via net-mail ONLY at 1:2004/0. --- * Origin: PETS R US! 805-946-8345 - Lancaster, CA (1:2004/0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 155 OLD CARS Ref: D5K00034 Date: 05/09/96 From: GERRY CALHOUN Time: 10:36am \/To: JOHN DEMOTT (Read 5 times) Subj: Best looking car Hi John, JD> In what year did each car company make their best looking vehicle?
