What is this white substance that is shown in abundance in your two pictures Randy? I have not seen this in LA.

Russ, Our snow is from nature, the atmospheric conditons have to be just right. It's a blend of cold air and moisture, we measure it in inches. I think LA has a different blend, they measure their snow in grams, just what I've heard, I don't know for sure...
And yes Bill, there are still some "still's" around. It's some smooooth stuff, with a kick, found here in Middle Tennessee Wes.
The boys were just cooling off Win, and made it back to shop RL, no problems. RR, that's the first big snow we've had in a couple of years. Everybody heads to Krogers' when snow is mentioned in the forcast...RM

Oh man, I haven't been in a Krogers for 22 years. One more thing to miss out in when you live in SoCal.

Keep up the great work, Randy. Your crew needs steady employment.

Hey Russ, Just up 5 we have Kroger, technically a "Fred Meyer" but it is Kroger brand.
Kicking our local Safeways kiester too.

LOL Randy!!! My pappy's fam dammly is originally from Kentucky. Wunner if shine would remove that stubborn new AW paint.

If it's that good stuff, it might remove more than just the paint! :thumbsup: rr

Are ya seein it NOW Russ? I saw an LA featurette on the weather channel this morning with snow less than 60 miles north of ya.

We got rain today. It was perfectly dreadful. It's in the low 50s now. I can barely coax my frozen fingers to type.

Truth be told, during my last winter in Elgin, IL (1985 - before moving to Torrance), we got 19 inches of the powdery joy dumped on us on New Year's Eve. Driving home from certain celebratory activites that night was just super fun. Even worse, at one of those activities, some demented beertender filled my glass with Budweasel when I clearly asked for BEER! It is truely a miracle that I survived to tell the story.

I'm sure Russ isn't kidding.. L.A. + Rain = miserable traffic at the very least. I can only imagine... Hope ya had a short commute...

Sounds like D.C., we don't need snow to screw up traffic here. A little rain can act like a foot of white stuff here with the idiots we have running around the Beltway and other points. :eek: rr

Randy, look at what you started, all about Snow! Very humorous though, 19 inches of the powdery joy dumped on us. We do have this type of machine you can follow, or model! Good excuse to post this picture.

With out Snow you can not ride on a Skidoo, Ski down a slope or cross-country, Skate on an open pod, Ice fish three miles for shore in a heated Hut while playing cards, drive your car on the lake where only your boat could go in the summer, dress up like an Eskimo or snow bunny. Snap out of it, your getting cared away. I know, don't remind me, you have to shovel it ! Randy, it is time to show us one of your beautiful paint jobs, hurry ...RL

RL, You forgot the best thing, snowcream!!! Just don't eat the first snow, so they say. Snow, milk, sugar, vanilla flavoring, yum yum!!! Please don't tell me you haven't had snow cream...RM

Snowcream Randy?Man it's great to llive in NY.

XracerHO, we could have really used your rig on 1-1-86 in Elgin. So many cars were unable to get up their moderately sloped driveways that the plows bypassed our street. Had to do the old shovel it out by hand gig. A HO plow could have gone around the buried cars with no problem! Would saved my back some grief.

Randy & Tom, be sure that "snow cream" isn't huskie, yellow snow cone, flavored. Gives me an idea for a mod to the AW Ice Cream Truck...

Mmmmmmmmm - sherbert. :freak:

RM, No, haven't had snow cream and defiantly avoid the yellow snow! Just watched the 1:1 version of my rig fill my driveway with more than 4 inches of fresh snow we got last night. Oh well, shovel it after my coffee! We will have a White Christmas. ...RL

Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and the Boys at the shop!!! Happy Holidays to all!!! RM

Randy, that car is way beyond awesome and so is the builder!

Suhhweet! Merry Christmas, Randy! :thumbsup:

I'll get one paint job to look that good!!! Sweet ride!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: The boys did great this year, but there is someone missing from that picture... Is Asphalt out making snowcreams??? :lol: Merry Christmas Randy and to the boys!!! :thumbsup:

SWEET.... Don't think we'll see a tree tied to roof of that car anytime soon.

MERRY XMAS RANDY and to all the boys at the shop.

Hey Mr.... my car is Christmas...Hilltop that looks great.

Although it's been said many times, many ways...Merry Christmas to you. :)

B:)b

The funky factory wheels had to go!!! That's just my opionion... I love these Nova's. I wish the body had a been three hairs wider for some deep dish applications. These RRR's aren't the smoothest wheels, but the AW's weren't smooth either, good enough for slow cruising I guess...RM

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/006-6.jpg

The boys have been reworking the old forgotten Monza. Had to soak this in the tank for about a week, to get the butterscotch paint off. We picked up a few sponsors, and done a little detail work... Special thanks to Thompson/Exxon/Meineke for coming on board...RM

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/012-3.jpg

How many times can we all say it.GREAT job.Tom

Super sweet Monza, Sir!! And the Nova don't look shabby either!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

UtherJoe

Monza looks awesome, but I can't find the Hooters decal?

:tongue:

I better post my Buddy Baker Charger before your boys finish up that #11 up on the rack. :thumbsup:

That Monza is kick @ss!!!!!!!!! An how is the h@ll do you keep your hand that steady to paint that window trim. After one cup of coffee Id be painting squiggles

Hilltop Racing does it again!

Randy that #2 Monza looks 10,000 times better than the #0 versions...Love the look with the right color pop here and color pop there. Nicely detailed silver trim job as well...Smoooooooooooooooooooooth!

Bob...that is a top of the HILL build once again...zilla

Like Tom stated, how many times? Sweet lookers! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I have Randys that freakin awsome, Bob That is so Cool and Bill thanks for showing us that as Macros on my keyboard...

Coach!

RM, Concur Awesome Monza :thumbsup: :thumbsup: and like the simple elegance of the Nova but expect a large hood ornament is lerking at the back of the shop for your next Nova. Waiting for your Charger!!! ..RL

Great looking Monza.

A tasty 'lil "satsuma" Randy! Very seasonal indeed.

I always love it when ya go back to yer monochrome roots.

Now I'm diggin through the scrap yard looking for a Monza! That was incredible. Great color choice too!

-Paul

Thanks guys!!! I guess I need to adjust the lighting. That's the original plastic color, I just stripped the butterscotch off, added some stickers, then some clear on top...I got a white one in the tank now, but I'll probably have to shoot a color on it. The green seems to leave stain marks...RM

Hey Randy, It was nice to meet you today at Kevin's. When you mentioned this thread I wasn't sure this was the one you meant so I didn't say anything but I have enjoyed reading the updates. I was curious where you got the Lunati sticker as I am employed by one of their "competitors". Take care, RickV.

Rick, you must have found a short cut to Memphis!!! That was a fast trip back home my friend!!! I hope you enjoyed it today and great meeting you likewise!!! I had a blast today myself. Kevin's got a smoooooth running track. I'll beat him one of these days, maybe??? I believe I picked up the Lunati stickers at the Good Guys car show that was held in Nashville. Hope you can make it back up this way again...RM

Nice looking strip-o-car, Randy! :thumbsup:
What did you strip it in?

Super Clean - Concrete Cleaner, available at Wal-Mart. Comes in a purple one gallon jug, back in the automotive section. Let me know if you need a picture. I've never had a problem with AFX cars, yet. It took about a week to get the yellow stripe stain off... I soak resin screwups in it also...RM

The boys spent too much time watching the Speed Channel over the holidays. Looks like they've been watching Pinks All Out...RM

You are getting very sleepy....

Your vision is growing dim...

Sltman, the Fairlane on the rack is one of my screwups, I cut the fenderwells out at an early age. I still likes it though!!! Thanks guys for the kind words...RM
