    RW>>> Ahhh. That movie was like watching someone put together a 5000   
    RW>>> piece puzzle. Boring.   
      
    RN>> But I liked it.   
      
    RW>> To each his own. Val Kilmer can be a good actor at times...Dunaway   
    RW>> can be left out of any film and I wouldn't miss her at all.   
      
    RN> Yes.  It's probably why we like one another.  (-:  Did you get the   
    RN> PDF file I emailed yesterday?   
      
   I may have. I haven't received anything from you for ages. When I looked   
   into the 1110 emails I have in one folder on HAM antennas, surprise,   
   surprise, there were some of yours. Dunno how that happened, but am   
   working on my filters that send that HAM blog to that folder. Your email   
   adress has to be in the filters somewhere.   
      
    RN>>>> I had no difficulty identifying it because of the bumble bee   
    RN>>>> stripe on the rear end.  Sometime later on, I saw one for sale for   
    RN>>>> $125k.   
      
    RW>>>> Those were ugly Chargers. The price tag was because it had a   
    RW>>>> 'hemi' in it. Otherwise they're not worth much.   
      
    RN> I sent you a picture of my '57 Bel Air.  It's turquoise, unless my   
    RN> eyes are really failing me.  I had many good times in that car.   
      
    RN>>> I didn't have one.  I preferred the '57 Plymouth.  (-:   
      
    RW>>> Never had one. Beat a few hundred of them with my 55 Chevy   
    RW>>> though...   
      
    RW>>> 8^)   
      
    RN> I wouldn't expect a stock Plymouth to hold a candle going up against   
    RN> a stock Chevy.   
      
   8^) I had a guy with a 58 Plymouth beg me to let him win so he could go on   
   in the eliminations. I asked him what he was going to do if the next guy   
   wouldn't let him win that race. He had no idea. When I looked at his car,   
   I had to laugh some more, as he was racing with snow tires on the back.   
      
   He was an Illinois farm boy for sure. 8^)   
      
    RN>> I didn't race the Plymouth, but I did race the '57 Bel Air.  Not too   
    RN>> many could stay with it after 40MPH.   
      
    RW>> I replaced the 265 with a 327 around 1964...stock to mildly   
    RW>> modified 283s (57s) were surprised when they were left in the dust.   
      
    RN> I had what amounted to a '57 Corvette engine in the Bel Air after we   
    RN> made some modifications to it (Edelbrock 3-pot intake manifold,   
    RN> 3-2bbl Rochester carbs with the front and rear modified and with   
    RN> progressive linkage, Engle 3/4 race cam, Mallory dual-point   
    RN> distributor, 10:1 compression, solid lifters, etc).   
      
   I remember you telling me about this car a while back.
