   Yes.  It's probably why we like one another.  (-:  Did you get the PDF file I

   I sent you a picture of my '57 Bel Air.  It's turquoise, unless my eyes are

   I had what amounted to a '57 Corvette engine in the Bel Air after we made some   
   modifications to it (Edelbrock 3-pot intake manifold, 3-2bbl Rochester carbs   
   with the front and rear modified and with progressive linkage, Engle 3/4 race   
   cam, Mallory dual-point distributor, 10:1 compression, solid lifters, etc).
