If I recall, we had a jar each, if that. Just enough to enjoy.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

I hope to bring some more this summer as well as some witbier. (wheat beer) Goes great with a slice of orange.
Evening here now.
Just got back from the garage.
Finally started the instrument panel removal.
I thinks it ready for the next stage, but I didn't want to roll it forward and find I missed a screw on the heater controls or something.
Apparently I stopped taking pictures after I pulled the radio knobs. LOL
Is that that same as wiess (white) ? or not neccesserily?
Not necessarily. It is a amber unfiltered wheat like Boulevard or similar to Blue Moon but with more body.
Beautiful dash, my favorite style of dash ever.
I am going to swap a 67 Barracuda dash into my 71 scamp with the 120 Speedo and Vacuum gauge just because I cant get enough of that style of dash
Evening
I think I posted this earlier I found out today that the strip owners wife captured the strip photo from the tower the evening of The Night of Fire. Believe it or not, she is facing north. LOL

That will be a project! All the pieces ought to be close, but probably lots of details that will need to be puzzled out.
I do agree. I think 68 is almost the same and '69 changes the numbers and radio dial.
This one started flaking its aluminim paint not long after after I bought it.
But the real incentive to remove it is the speedometer sometimes gets noisy.
Want that out before it breaks. So it and everything related are now on the front burner.
I have a 67 parts car left in the yard. The 68 and 9 parts barracudas are skeletons. The 67 still has the complete dash. It's a black on black 67 fastback. The whole rear end is smashed and it's been in the same spot longer than I have been alive.
That's only reason I am going with a 67 dash because it's available.
That's real nice Mike. Great photo. Something really appealing about the twilight and evening shots.
Also, I really prefer drag strip with greenery around it. Atco and Englishtown are (were) just islands of pavement. Island is a little better and Maple Grove is pretty nicely nestled in the hills. I'm sure it can be hot during the day but its still a nice setting.

I spent the afternoon working up a design scheme for Fred’s son’s plane that he is prepping for paint. He wanted red, black and gray. Asked if I had any ideas and I came up with this. I think he likes it!
Yes. But I need to start making dinner.
If there's not enough material to rethread, might have to replace it and solder a new connection.

This is what the plane looked like before he brought it in for paint.
I would have soldered a wire to it,heat shrink and a terminal on the wire to connect to vehicle.

It’s a Vans RV-6A. His boy seems to really enjoy it. Bought it this past Summer.

This was from From Fred’s first ride in it last Summer and then back in early January when they took the wings off and brought it inside for paint...
That's cool Dave. Nicely done.

It be a lot cooler if you did...
I chimed in on that just now
So, you'd think letting air freely flow through a moving object would cancel or reduce the effects of the friction made from air molecules.
So that being said, you'd think they would try a hollow car that is hollow as much as possible around the passenger compartment and let the air flow through it rather than over it to improve braking distance and improve aerodynamics.
