Re: [AMC-list] Car magazines are bugging me - how about dailydrivers

Why I do believe you look pretty damned good up on that stump!
   Give'm hell!  
We want rust and lumpy welds!!!
   Spent today developing a large pile that used to be a 990H ambo :(  hate to see it go that way. But the good they do die young!

   Once I feel up to it I am going to post pics of why no average Joe should resurrect a flood car. This was a running driving Ambo. When flooded in for a timing chain only. River silt and mud fill 80% plus of every rocker and blind cavity. 

  My shining light? Rust free trunk floor, under 1" of mud and the entire center pan is spotless !!! 

  Bummer is the 3' garden snake that went down the intake!

I might have sounded more harsh on HCC than I intended. Like how you're
harsher on your friends sometimes than strangers :-) But in MY opinion, it's
taken a slide towards the 'armchair' and away from the asphalt. If it wasn't
good to begin with I wouldn't regret the changes so much. It covers the
right kinds of cars more or less - for me - but the emphasis has moved
towards the wistful and further away from the metal.

It's not really 'daily driver' stuff I want, but there's a whole world of
people doing things to cars that simply don't fit the narrow "traditional"
car interests and HCC was/is close to filling in some of that area.
Customizing, mods for improvements, handlign changes, tools, tricks,
autocross/handling setup, suspension design tricks and tips, car hacking
from first principles and not a catalog.
