Here's the pics of the tree after I cut the broken limb from it..
I dunno, it went right into the core of the tree and ripped part of it out.
I'll try to save that trunk, but don't hold a lot of hope for it..

Summer storms here typically bring tornados with them. A tornado during the day is one thing, because you can see it as well as hear it and know which way to run if you need to.
Tornados at night kill a lot of people for obvious reasons - many times they don't get reported until they have already taken property and/or lives..

I had thought about flipping the hitch but haven't tried it yet. I think the rear right side axle is bent slightly because that tire is wore much more than the other three. I hadn't noticed any difference in wear between the two on the other side but I will look closer. Wind doesn't seem to bother it, maybe because it sits quite a bit lower than the new one. But I think flipping the receiver over is a good thing to try to level it more.

I took the Camaro to Rochester yesterday afternoon to The Eagles club where they have a cruise-in / show every Wednesday. My cousin Mike and I were one of the first people there.
Not many pictures here, but they ended up with about 100 cars and some times get almost 3x that...







A number of people interested in the Camaro, but some just did not quite understand the difference between a restored car (which this is not) and a maintained survivor (which this car is).. The car was repainted in 77-78 and it looks good from 10' or so, but people just have such high expectations..
Some cars just do NOT need a rotisserie restoration and this is one of those cars in my opinion.

Maybe, bet I'm still close. My camper is 45' 7" over all. 3' of overhang so 42' 7" behind my 23' truck.

Some people don't know what ORIGINAL means Randy. It takes the right person to come along and buy something like that.

I got to take my dads 68' AMX out for a spin while in FL. Oh boy that was FUN! A tad light in the rear end and got a little squirrelly on me but it was a blast to drive.

Nice car show. What are you asking for the car Randy?

IMO the car needs different wheels those wheels don't do it any justice. Custom wheels would set it off really good and doesn't take away the fact that the car is original.
