Dave, I didn't realize the Gremlin flew on D motors! It sure was a great day for flying, wasn't it? And what a nice looking naked reverse-finned Fat Boy that is sitting on the pad next to your Gremlin! Greg Deeter took some amazing pictures on Saturday, that's for sure.

(Psst, John. It's a GOBLIN, not a GREMLIN. The Gremlin was one of the ugliest cars AMC ever produced. Three girls that I dated drove Gremlins. One had a LEVI's interior. Gremlins had less power than a D engine. The woman I married drove a Gremlin that someone gave her because they felt sorry for her. Seems like something you'd do if you really hated that person, but I guess it was a step up from the Pinto.)

That's right, John. If you haven't already, why don't you post the link Greg took of your Estes STAR WARS Death Star's flights? I'm sure those who are members of this forum would like to read the flight reports and see a few pics (right, guys?)... My film should be ready tomorrow, so I should have my pics of last Saturday's launch posted on the Challenger 498 photo album...

Jay, shouldn't you be packing the Pacer for the Oregon trip? (Don't forget your RUSH 8-tracks.)

Ugly, but easy to design. Just take a really big meat cleaver, whack off the rear 1/3 of a Hornet, and voila!

(Heh-heh. John said "whack off".)
My first car was supposed to be a Hornet. Dad told Grandpa to trade it in instead. They gave him $100 for it.

With malice aforethought, believe me. And btw, AMC's factory was in Kenosha, Wisconsin, home of NARCONs 2004, 2005, and 2006.
