Rick, I am hooked up to Wild Blue satellite. It's considerably better than dial up, in fact a whole bunch better. It's still not lightning like some cable systems but it's good. I can watch videos now although sometimes there is a heistation during the video. Before I couldn't even begin to watch a video. It would take 20 minutes to download 1 minute of video!

I'm having a little bit of trouble getting the email to work to my liking but I'll finger it out.

My computer is over 5 years old and has never been flushed out so I should probably get that done sometime. There are some "internal" programs that are a bit doggy so I guess there might be some pollution in there.

Do a search for spybot search & destroy, download & run it about once a week. Spybots will slow you down some. Glad it's working for you again, great pics!

Nice pix, but the red and wite thing is getting a bit monotonous.

That Mopar actually looks pretty sporty compared to the Esled and Buford.

No doubt! The 60 Plymouths were always one of my favorite finmobiles. I probably like the Chrysler bodied (big series) 57/58 DeSotos just a teeny bit better.

I kinda thought so too.....

It took the Red Devil 59 Buick down to the front end shop to get an alignment so road testing will begin next week. Whenever it stops RAINING!!!

The carburetor is a mess from sitting around and I don't think it's gonna straighten out. The trans doesn't hold in park so I have to pull the entire rear axle assembly out before I can get to the trans.....

There was a negative reading on the ammeter that was accurate. No charge. Check check double check everything. Everything good. Hmmmmmmm.....So I started following the wires. Turns out for some reason beknownst only to the guys in the "other shop" they totally insulated the main accessory feed from the BAT terminal on the voltage regulator! WTF, ya know????

I just don't get it, kinda like wrapping electric tape around the positive battery post before you put the cable on!

It's charging now!
