Once a month, there is a car show here in the valley where you can find a rather eclectic mix of cars and trucks. Tonight was special because it was the first time we drove Alice (the 1967 411 wagon) more than a couple of miles away from the house since her restoration. She did really well. Plenty of power, the ride is fantastic, and she looks amazing. She got lots of compliments and people stopped to ask a ton of questions. Overall, it was a great night. We learned a few things along the way. One - she is not terribly fond of the heat (coolant flush should fix that) and the transmission cable needs to be adjusted. Other than that, she is damn near perfect. This project was really Greg's baby. I helped him pull and install the motor and some minor stuff along the way, when he needed four hands, but this restoration has been mostly him. He has done a really fantastic job. He is making a build thread for her, hopefully it will be finished soon and you can see the transformation. It's pretty impressive. Those of you who are going to JCCS will be able to see her in person.

Here she is at the car show (spoiler pic):

that'd be a nice change... outside of the racing community, everyone around here hates it... "it's not a 240? it doesn't drift? you don't street race? that thing sucks!" :tisk:

all my racing buddies like it though

Our demographic is a little different down here. It's very much an appreciation-for-what-you-are-proud-of. You gotta think, the age groups vary widely here, 16-90+.

well.... our age range here is just as wide.... people are just weirder

you got the local nissan crew where fighting never stops.... sentra peeps hate all RWD people... 240 guys hate anyone who doesn't drift.... the only people you can really get along with are the Z peeps

then you got the rest of people... V8 people hate anything from japan... honda, SRT4, subaru, evo (typical various other rides) hate you if you won't do a 40 roll with them...

about the only people here in CO that i can get along with are those that i know either from racing or school or something that know exactly what the truck is and what it's capable of... otherwise it is hated upon greatly... people think its a complete POS and jsut talk mad s*** about it

In AZ, we have car shows year round. The attendance is much higher in the winter because of the milder temps.
