thanks hh56. just another guess.

Lee,

I don't think there was any malice on Dave's part, and he did post that it is probably copyrighted, as well as the source and author. If anything, people may now want to track down a that back issue of that Cormorant from almost 25 years ago to read it. Whereas they may have not know about it before. Dave also contributes to the Cormorant, so I am sure he is familiar with all the effort that goes into it.

Gerd,

I for one am never tired of hearing about them. The Soviet cars really get no exposure is the US, and the pictures you post are probably the most any of us have ever seen about them.

Keep up the good and appreciated work!

"Like your pleasure big?"


Hmm, yes I do!

The article in the Spring, 1984 issue of The Packard Cormorant was indeed copyrighted, so yes, it is a violation of same to copy it and post it. While it is nice to see references to the Panther Story and The Panther Log, it is nicer when folks ask permission to print or reproduce parts of the article.

By the way, The Panther Log was originally a collaborative effort between Leon Dixon and George Hamlin, however I have since updated the log to the present.

In recent years, some people have touted the silver-gray car as it exists today as THE Mitchell-Bentley car, but in fact, the car that was originally owned by Mitchell-Bentley is the yellow/bronze car with the removable hardtop,side windows and 55 rear tail lights.

Thanks anyway for the plug.

Thanks Kev.

Because then you are not circulating cooler fuel from the tank.

No not Charlie. My friends name is Jerry Sievers. He did the paint on the John Force 'Lil Yellow School Bus (also all of his Funny Car bodies). He also runs the Paint 'N Place in Placentia, CA. Are you talking about Charlie that used to work for Boyd, then went to work for Chip Foose? If so, I bet Charlie knows Jerry.

Is you do a google search on "Jerry Sievers Paint 'n Place", you will see links to many different magazine project articles where Jerry's shop did the paint.

He also teaches in the evening at the local collage, and was one of the early adopters of Water Based/Bourne paint. So he teaches alot on that subject. He was the one that taught me how to do the body work on my Clipper.

Hey Tom - what's that vacuum advance unit doing on the distributor?

And you fuel pump hookup is the elegant and probably the very best way to do it.

Would your painter friend's name be Charlie by chance? He is an acquaintance of mine. Just wondered.
