Mr Dent, the psychotropic drugs should be wearing off shortly now.

MG and I missed the 10th one after we had a little too much to drink and got distracted by the hotties.

As I found out, the stage is always the most boring place at a show.......

Saw an interesting article in the March Hot Rod...some guy took a Citroen, an ID 19 from 1966, and stuck a Chevy small block into it.  He had to build a roll cage, because the body was kinda flimsy; and had to build a frame underneath, because he was putting over 400 hp into a chassis that originally had maybe 65 or so...but it made for a rather nice looking ride.  And, it seemed to work pretty well.  The hardest part was mating the one -spoke steering wheel to a modern column.

it's probably the strangest streetrod I've ever seen, but it works!

I've never known how to post pictures.  Ultra will vouch for my computer illiteracy, as if there were any real debate to begin with....

If you want to post a picture off a website, copy and paste the link into your post and then bracket as follows...

{img}*insert URL here*{/img}

Replace { with [ if you're actually trying to post an image... I had to change the brackets so the text would show in my post.

I have that same problem...my printer has a scanner, but I've never had much luck using it..  I'm going to try going to Hot Rod's website tom see if there are any photos of the car there.

There aren't any pics at the website.  I'd really love to show a pic of this car, but I'm not sure I know how...could someody PM me with some instructions?

Or a hemi in a Trabant...speaking of which...there's a neat article in the March issue of Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car about a Trabi being restored.  The guy used spray-in bedliner material for undercoating.  Sounds wierd, but it's a million times better than what came from the factory.
