When will that be on again?
Probably early July of this year. It doesn’t repeat for a long time, the one real downfall of the way the scifi channel does that stuff. The 2nd half of SG-1 season 8 starts repeating next friday though on scifi, 7:00 PM central time. You might want to watch that anyway to catch up on everything that has happened this season.
I see that scifi has a new commerical out, showing Ben Browder on SG-1. For anyone that doesn’t know Ben Browder is the lead actor from Farscape, and is now coming to SG-1 to kind of take over for RDA leaving.
Quote:I like both. Both take alot of talent. There is certainly more creativity used in a Resto-Mod.Like you say you have the dependability of today’s parts along with the stylish looks from yesterday. I would imagine ther is alot more time involved in a Resto-Mod. I restoring I have done on cars has been to the original and that can be time-consuming also if you are doing a good job.
It really does take alot of time and talent. You always run into problems that you don’t anticipate….
Quote:That is a nice looking Valiant. It must of been pretty fast with a V-8. They were a pretty light car. You don’t see many at car shows.No you don’t. In fact I can’t remember if we even saw one this last year.
Quote:Thanks for the comments!I like the plain look, and the 2004 Spiral Grey goes well with the black bench interior I think.
I don’t show the car…I’m just too much of a perfectionist I guess, I don’t feel it’s good enough to show.
Anyways, it rides along well. Everything have been updated, all the wiring has been redone, and I even have a serpentine belt system on the engine to get rid of the old V-belts.
I spent a year on it, every night after work until midnight or so in the garage. I have it setup for drag racing now, I don’t think I’ll be driving it on the street this year, just on the drag strip.
That drag strip racing would be cool to see! It sounds like you really put your heart in to it, and it really shows!

It truely is a beauty. I will find the best high resolution pictures in the oddest places, I came across that car in an eBay auction.
Its really amazing where you find the best pictures. Keep posting them Mike, they are great! Drogar-Love(LBG).gif

Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif Some nices specs on that Nova!Personally I like to try and restore it to the original beauty. Its also nice to add some enhancements too like FM radio, cd player, ect ect but keep it within the original design (no big extra speakers in the trunk). I wouldn’t go as far as to try and have matching numbers on everything, IMO that’s just too far.
Great Chevelle. She’s a sweet ride I bet! Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif
I agree, 69 was one of the best designs.So even with CSS will I be including the actual images for the buttons and title each html document, rather than format.css? If this is the case should I use tables to display this along with the main info on the page?
Thanks for all your help coalman!Quote:All in time, patience is key here. There are so many forum sites around, you just have to wait for the traffic to increase.If you know anyone else who’d be interested in joining could you tell them for me?
Thanks.Quote:Not the actual vehicle, just somewhat similar – Actually a Grand Torino. Here’s the link –

Quote:Drogar-Dolar(LBG).gif Just a general post to test the waters on this new forum, that I’m always interested in any Hudson parts or cars you may have ‘lying around’ just collecting dust, and that you may want to liquidate!Especially interested in the ‘stepdown’ era (1948-1954)
Hudsonly,
hudsonguyI can’t help you there, sorry Drogar-Cry(LBG).gif
But I’m sure someone else here can!Ok, I’ve gone through their tutorial and came up with this for my format.css in my root folder:

</head>Does this look correct? I’m still not sure how to insert a sidebar into it with images and rollover but maybe I should just put those in the individual pages. Now in a new html document I put this into the <head>:
Quote:<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”format.css”>Is this correct in pointing to my format.css document, which is in the same folder? I tried looking at it but even after applying this the background for my html page remains white despite the specification in format.css that it should be black.
Is this a good start?
Quote:They’re not mine… Wish they were (I wouldn’t be selling them!…). As you can probably see, there is a bit of dust on them, as if they have been in some type of storage.Just ‘happened’ to find them, while browsing. If interested, you might want to look at other items they have for sale. There are a few other ‘classics’ there as well, an old hot rod (recently rebuilt) and including a 1972 Torino (Starsky & Hutch).
I’ll take a look. That Torino in Starsky and Hutch was very nice… Drogar-BigGrin(LBG).gif
