Is the Blue car a lightweight Savoy body?

No (I wish), I picked it up in Kentucky in 07,a couple of coal mining brothers had it for sale. Their cousins and uncles all drag raced and i think I got all the hand-me-downs in the engine...but the body and paint were really nice. Doesn't add any value but interestingly it was a highway patrol 383 (had support and wiring for a cherry on top) and a factory tach. It came with 440 with indy heads
I had a hemi in it but recently upgraded the chassis and put a procharged wedge. its a complete drivetrain that came from another car.

That looks a lot quicker than a 383 Super Bee?

Restoring cars or other antiques is not something that has ever appealed to me. I've spent too much of my life fixing things already to voluntarily sign up for that.

But whenever I go to a museum, antique show or show and shine, I get a chance to appreciate the workmanship and dedication that others have invested.
I am grateful that there are others out there willing and able to preserve that history.

Trying a new thing this year, especially with my contract calving and pasture checks, wearing a GoPro.

Got to test it out yesterday when I had to pull one of my own calves ???? 50/50 I have money shots or I’m turned and you can only see the side of the chute ????

I'll bet you can get some really good footage of interactions with surly customers if you wore that at work. You could be a YouTube sensation.

Don’t see many people at work, they don’t need to come in.

Harvest maybe. Hide it on the wall and record all the yield claims.

Is this the only non confrontational/sane part of rural issues thanks for starting it blaithin. Pity it was on commodity side but doesn't fit. Been asked to do a you tube about how I went from beginner storm photographer to hobbyist gear setting etc and how to read weather dunno if I will bore you guys with it if I do it.
