Delayed ARRRR-gain!!!

Aye, there be no good reasonin' that I'ma not sharrin' about me vacation yet. Truth be told, aye've the pictures & much text just a-waitin' aboard. Howbeit, we were on a voyage o 7 days, aye we were, yet here it be "talk like a pirate day" again, and aye were constrain'd to be puttin' up a proper pirate-y post!!!

So, here be it!!! One of me souvenirs of me voyage. Right pirate-y Aye do say!!! Every time I be passin' the window, I'da be admirin' it. Avast, when I actually be gettin' in the shop, turns out the scurvy bilge rats be carryin' no stock but in youth sizes!!! Betimes, aye were layin' me eye on the first that I came upon, and it be a youth XL... Perchance it be fittin' on yer old pal Aye!!! Indeed, it 'twere!!!

Keep an even keel, more be a-comin' over the horizion!!!

BeFord & After

I'm way behind on my posts, as usual, but I was just doing this & since I'm already behind figured I'd go ahead and do a quickie. I've got tons of epic vacation pictures & stories to share, but for today, you get this!!!

First weekend back, and my dad was organizing a car show. Naturally, I went and took the Merkin. There was also all you can eat & soda for a mere $5, so it was pretty good. Bonus, Monster had a booth set up there, selling their energy drinks for $1 each!!! I bought one to drink, and a half dozen more to take home because you can't beat that price. Not a lot of cars, but there did happen to be a very clean Falcon, nearly like mine with the 4 doors, but not the Futura model, a year earlier, and it still had the factory inline 6.

So, my youngest says, "You should take a picture of both of them, and do a half and half!!!" Challenge accepted!!!

The results: Not perfect, but completely plausible. The angle wasn't exactly the same, so the hoods didn't line up too well, but the roof line and the bumpers came out real close!!! Not bad!!! And, of course, the bonus that you can see the original style grille (well, original for 64. The grille is the easiest way to distinguish between the 64 and 65.) and headlights side by side with my mod!!!
