[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by tomwatkins</i> <br /><br />Good Mornin' Everybody, <br /> <br />Chris, the Mustangs are cool cars too. My favorites are the '66 fastbacks. I'd prefer a reworked small block (302 or 351) to keep the weight on the front end down a bit) and tricked out to look like a Shelby. They're really nice cars. <br /> <br />Have a great day everybody, <br />Tom <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Tom, <br />Which 351 are you talking about, 351 Winsdors or 351 Clevelands? I'm guessing Winsdor since you mentioned small block. My dad has had two cars with Winsdors in them, although he says that the 351 Cleveland would outrun a Winsdor. The 302 Boss'es were strong little engines, too. My favorite Mustang, though, is the 1969 429 (Semi-Hemi) Boss, beatiful cars. I also like the new 2005 Mustangs, they're pretty cool looking.[:D] <br /> <br />I've also come to like Ranchero's and Torino's, both of which were great cars in their own respects.[8D] <br /> <br />Jim: <br />Oops, once again I forget about BNSF's Southern road....[:0][;)] <br /> <br />BNSF: <br />CSX (Which really does stand for Chessie-Seabord-Multiplied, despite my little pun) operates in the Southeast and east, and Midwestern States east of Chicago and St. Louis. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Speaking of (non-railroad) cars, we have been building Pittsco dragster kits in woodworking class, today we raced them, and the one time I got to race, my car blew by the competition with either a 4 or 5 second run, while everybody else was taking 8-9 second runs![:D] <br /> <br />Now speaking in railroad-related terms again, <br />I've been looking at the paint scheme that my BN SD70MAC will come in, and I've decided it's too good looking to repaint, even if I would replace it in the CB&Q's Blackbird scheme. I'll just have to get another shell and mechanism sometime next year to paint int othe Q's scheme, but I'll leave this engine alone. Don't get the idea I'll start modeling BN though, the modern CB&Q will be built![:D] <br /> <br />Christopher <br />
