WOW. Thanks alot for the pictures guys, I appreciate it. I just finally got to pick my car up at the end of the day yesterday, So I did not get to make it. I had to get the car from Paul's HP in Jackson, and saw alot of the cars, albeit spaced apart alot. Probably the stragglers. I also saw the power tour bus. (there may be several) Driving from Jackson home to livingston Co, I stopped in pinckney at a small show I stumbled upon, and met a couple guys who were on the tour, one from minn, one from ill. Nice guys. I last did the tour in 96, in my first car, a ratty but rust free 68 chevelle. Isnt that white 64 comet on page 5 a member's car? I think I saw it in MMFF mag maybe. Cant remember. Love that year. So many awesome rides, pissed I didnt get to go. Oh, and fuck GM for moving it even FARTHER from my house too. Putting in a gear vendors OD this winter, for better cruising next year. Holy turbo system on the mullet mobile camaro from ontario!

You have to see that twin turbo cop car in person. The fab job on the tubing is soooooo nice.

That yellow cyclone is one of my faves too.
 
If you dig that cyclone, here are some pics of my cousin's new one. It is a 70 Cyclone "spoiler" (mercury's version of the torino Cobra) it is1 of 1200 built, it has a Cobra-Jet 429, 4 speed, super-rare factory power windows. This thing is awesome. 60K on the clock. The spolier on the front they come with is off for loading/unloading on the trailer. I should have some better pics of it next week.

EDIT* Cant find the damn Pics. will have some for ya next week, sorry.

No, they look good. I need to figure out how to get good engine bay shots. :ohwell:

Let the camera do auto settings and don't use a tri pod. If it tells you it is going to flash change it so it doesn't flash. :lol:

There's a shitty engine shot in the pics I just uploaded. It was dusk and I needed a real tri pod to get a good shot and the only way to see anything was a flash, flash is no good. My 8 inch tri pod isn't long enough to see in an engine bay.
 
I saw a ton of cars driving south on 75 yesterday. We had to pick up some equipment in moraine oh and on he way back I was thinkin alot of cool cars on the road for such a shitty day. Then I saw the bus and I remember why. I almost killed a woman in a vw bug as I was going north and looking at oncoming traffic :). Oh I was in the sweet 26 foot penske truck :)

We were on the road somewhere(I think in Kentucky), and I was following Brad's parents in their Charger, and Brad was behind me in his Lightning. This mini-van coming towards us must have been looking back and staring at the Charger(like pretty much everyone always did), and didn't see that the 50-something ford in front of it making a left turn. It looked like the Ford wasn't using a turn signal, and the brake lights might not have been working. Right as it got next to me, the van locked up it's brakes and was billowing tire smoke....it ended up going off the side of the road into some grass and just missing the ford, and it looked like it really didn't do any damage to anything. The entire thing happened right in front of the Hot Rod photo guys, too. They were actually trying to set up a shot at an old gas station, which is why the Ford was turning in there.
