Cool Vid - but can't get into album - even cutting & pasting that password?

Glenn, I went through the "set a guest password" routine, but I must be doing something wrong. I'd like to share the pics with you but I need help. I could do each one individually, but there are 40 of them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Here's another vid Hank asked me to take of his pass in the Z-11. His was the only Z-11 in attendance, even though others were invited.

Verne, I got into the photos but I typed password rather than copy & paste. I always like to hear the wicked Z-11's. One of the best sounding cars ever.

OK, thanks! I hope everyone else can do the same.
Yes, Hank's car has the right headers and that crisp note. Actually, all hi-po "W"s had a distinct sound, but Hank's is special https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Here's a vid of Tom Payne's L-79 drag car that he's just completed. He's fallen in love with it and plans to sell the '64. I've tried to talk him out of it, but this car runs low 13s already and it's not near dialed in yet. This was taken at his restored 1930s shop back in ILL after the convention.

That's original paint and interior on that puppy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Oh, and I didn't mention the 1930 restored center post floor lift to go with it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Champaign, or thereabouts.

Glenn, Thanks a lot for posting all the shots. You sure have a knack for it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

------I think two cars pictured were at Meadowbrook on Sunday in the concours. Ronnies old racer and that beautiful black 61. Both were a sight to behold. Did that 64 you were driving have a silver gut??? One of my favorite combos! And did you mention it might be for sale??? Thanks for the pics. It looks like you guys had a bunch of fun..........Bill S

Bill, Both of his silver '64 Super Sports have the silver interiors. Pretty rare and really beautiful. He also has another '64 SS that was originally silver on black, but it's been repainted black. That one is slated for sale as well. These are all "future plans", as none are for sale now, but if you're interested in contacting him, I'll give you the info privately.

Yes, we had a ton of fun. Jody arranged for some terrific prizes for the drags. The eliminator win got me Pit Pal's new 25th anniv alum trailor door rack (which I gave to Tom because I don't have a trailor OR room on my shop wall), the best reaction time got me a certificate for a billit Pertronics distributor and for the most runs I received the "Z-11 of creepers" from Jegs.
Tom's silver '64 "driver" received a 2nd place People's choice. That's the car I drove back & forth to the convention from his place and it's as sweet as they come. Full of options and cold A/C.
The photos above of the 2 cars together were when they were arranged for a photo session for a feature article on the pair in the NIA magazine.
