See, this turned out well.  Now we have hobbyists exchanging parts and 
services.  We each do what we're good at, and help each other out.  
Enlightened self-interest at it's finest.

AMC frequent contributor Tommy Clayton sent me these photos of tornado 
damage in his area in Caruthersville, MO recently. They got pummled with 
baseball sized hail (hey we grapefruit sized ones here in Texas) and they 
also suffered missing shingles, broken windows, holes in vinyl siding...but 
consider themselves lucky, as over a dozen people were killed in this 
outbreak. Not sure if any of their AMCs were damaged by hail or other but 
some hairy photos:

Unlike modern cars with the stick on individual letters for brand ID, in
the old way they were cast and as a chrome  block of letters with spaces
between them, the spaces were painted black. Like the 3 block letter
Hornet emblems on my car. The black paint on mine is wearing off but the
chrome is fine. I was going to re-paint the black but I had a better
idea. I am going to paint the areas that were black the orange body
color of the car making the letters look like they are individual ones.
Details Details I love it. The work is a pain but the final results are
well worth it. I also have to restore the plastic stick on AMC emblem on
the drivers side of the license plate under the hatch. Going to do the
orange thing on that one too. All these subtle little details just keeps
making this car look better and better and no one can single out one
thing that stands out. :-) That's the way it is supposed to be, the
overall effect is what count's.

UPDATE: AS OF THIS MORNING (April 22) AOL HAS BLOCKED THE AMC-LIST SERVER FROM ALL AOL MEMBERS!! 10-20 people complained, 230+ just got cut off... 

Remember those people who complained loudly when the list changed servers, the
ones that forgot they had ever subscribed? It seems that 3-4 days of getting
the relatively few mail messages (no more than 30 in one day, and most of those 
were messages they generated with "get me off" messages sent to the list) was
to much for them. A few apparently complained to AOL and Yahoo (which owns
Hotmail) before Tom and I could delete them. Both AOL and Yahoo have a heavy
handed way of dealing with complaints -- they block the server. The result is
because of a few complaints no one using those mail systems can get list mail.
Several members with AOL and Yahoo/hotmail addresses have recently complained
about not being able to post mail either through e-mail or the web site. The
reason is AOL and HYahoo/hotmail is blocking the site.

Tom and I have sent explanations to AOL and Yahoo. Both sent us forms to fill
out to allow mail to go through. The Yahoo form will be sent in shortly, and
might go through. AOL has told us to "resubmit in 30 days". This is likely so
they can monitor traffic from the list server.

If you are with AOL or Yahoo/hotmail DO NOT resubscribe at this time with an
AOL, Yahoo, or hotmail account. The server will try to send you a confirmation
message four times then unsubscribe you after it bounces four times. These four 
tries might be seen as spam attempts by AOL or Yahoo.

What you CAN do is report the problem of not being able te receive mail or sign 
up to the list to AOL/Yahoo/hotmail. If enough users complain (provided any see 
this!) they should relent and let the messages through. In the meantime, try
another e-mnail account such as a free g-mail account or another ISP. This may
be a good time to consider a "real" ISP instead of a captive system. Other ISPs 
would allow individual users to block mail or just block the address for the
complaining user.

I'll repeat this message in a few days to give more people the opportunity to
read it on the web site since it's not going out to AOL/Yahoo/hotmail account
holders.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE ON THE LIST
