Re: Old Street Scenes

Yeah, he liked the wheels with no caps too. he said it would lay rubber in all gears. It may exist today but we don't know. he wrecked it and it went to a yard...

Re: Old Street Scenes

My Parents in November of 68. That was Dads 55. the first 2 pictures were taken on bankhead Pkwy in Huntsville. The rock wall is still there today. It is the road going up the mountain... I wish he still had that 55. I wish Mom was still around sometimes too. Lou Gehrig's took her from us at 40 years old..

Re: Old Street Scenes

Neat pics Tommy....sorry to hear about your mom...

Those pics of Huntsville bring back some memories...though I was living there in the early 60's...

Re: Old Street Scenes

She passed away in 92. Time really flies. Bruce, you surely must have made the trip up Monte Sano Mountain. Thats where those pics were taken. There are several scenic overlooks on the way up and down that road (or pkwy as we call it).

I have several photo albums of cars that I can't find for some reason. I know I have one of drag races in England in the 70's. American cars and British stuff. I'll keep looking around

Re: Old Street Scenes

Here's a skinny pic of me in 78. I just recently found this car again after selling it in 1990.

Here's me in `78 or `79 along I-75 near Valdosta, GA
Distributor locked up and had to get it running long enough for a trip to the wrecking yard for a replacement.

Here's my wife (fiance at the time) holding up the replacement distributor.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Man, I love the picture of the Chevelle in front of the junkyard. Fat tires in back and I think see ladder bars under there. That's what these cars used to look like and I really miss it.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Here are 2 fresh out of the WAY BACK MACHINE!

Buddy and I went swimming in the Gunpowder River. Yes, I liked air shocks back then. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/phot...72_i5jLG-O.jpg
Here's another skinny (with more hair) picture! Don't remember exactly what I was doing, but the air shocks and L60-14's were probably removed earlier that day.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Is that the same car? You've held onto it all those years?

Yup, it's the same car. I've had it since 1980.

These are dated 1984

This one was taken in front of my parents house (it's for sale now) with my now wife (then girlfriend) in the driver's seat.

Just a random shot taken at a business park near the above house.

While clearing out my parent's house, I found an old photo album of my car with 3 pics of when I first bought it, me color sanding it, more of the Gunpowder River pics, and my first show pics. Also included are lots of miscellaneous shots, my first Super Chevy Show, 2nd Super Chevy Show, and my first indoor show.

Yes, it was a 6, powerglide car when I got it. I had done so many cars that were all engine and no brakes or suspension, that I did it the other way on this car. There weren't too many aftermarket suspension parts in the late 70's, so I went GM parts bin shopping. I parted out a 70 442, and got the steering box, Posi rear and front discs for the Malibu. In went a 79 Trans Am front sway bar, (1 1/4") a 72 GTO rear bar (1 1/8") and custom made boxed lower control arms. Had a custom alignment done and a few other tweeks, added Rally wheels and the best 60 series tires I could afford at the time. Took it out for the first drive and discovered the car cornered so well, I couldn't stay behind the wheel. So next came some 79 Z28 buckets. After that was all done, a 71 Belair donated it's 350, turbo 400 for motivation. Headers, dual exhaust, an HEI and an Alum intake with a Q-jet kept me happy for a few years.
In the mid 80's I picked up a 71 402 and started to make it a big block car.
I sold it after losing interest, and I guess the next guy made it an SS396. As a Canadian car though it will come up as a 6/glide if docs are requested from GM of Canada.
I had a lot of fun with that car including autocross and club days at out local road race track, Westwood.
This was back in 79-80 when I would literally have the largest car on the track. Won my share of events too!

And here's what it looked like a month ago. Buildings slightly changed.

I have to ask you where you found that '55(?) Chevy wagon picture with the lettering of Lockwood Kessler and Bartlett?
I know the current owners of LKB, and that Sinclair station must be near their office.....on Robbin's Lane.
Thanks for all of your photo's.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Thank you Adam82, for making me spit my beer out at my computer screen. I'll send ya the cleaning bill. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif I never knew they sent cars that way. I guess that explains why the noses of Vegas rusted first. One good rainstorm while being transported, and....

And I still say the Vega GT was a cool looking little car!

Re: Old Street Scenes

They make a really cool Drag car, but I always thought they were the best thing that ever happened to the towing industry
