Sunday, January 30, 2022 -- Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- Part 2

Perfectly restored to better than new...

Nice wheels on this kit Shelby Cobra...

Old Land Cruiser.
Thin pillars, big glass area, boxy styling...

Always have been amazed at how flat the backlite is on this Mustang.


Red anodized trim.
Looks good.

They did this unique rear window treatment for Nascar homologation.
The three pieces of glass to make up the back window is glued together at the sharp joint.


Ultimate patina...


 

Saturday, January 29, 2022 -- Hang Glider Spot

Bike path is a little busy but not too bad.



Still big ships anchored off shore.


This guy is wearing a Brazilian shirt (I have a few similar ones).

 

Paper Pictures -- Part 4 - 2018/19 England





















Paid to park the rental car in and around Bath.
Fortunately, didn't get any parking or traffic tickets.
Didn't hit anything either!
(which was a challenge driving a manual transmission, RHD small SUV on English country lanes/roads)




 

Snap-on Automotive Oscilloscope

Need to find a place to put this Snap-on oscilloscope.
In one of the outside storage sheds would be best.

At first glance, it looks like it would benefit from a repaint.

But on the other hand, this thing "lived" somewhere for a long time.
It was obviously used as a table or shelf to store stuff;  looks like paint cans, adhesives, etc.

The stains and drips on this thing tells a story of it's life.
If you repaint it, you erase that history...



 

More stuff on flat surfaces...

More stuff that need homes.
Been lingering too long.

I moves these wheels from the floor to the top of the flat file for now...
