I regret to inform those of you who knew “Full-Tilt” that he has left this world in search of other adventures. Depending on how well you knew him, it could be a blessing either way. He truly lived the proverbial “candle in the wind” lifesyle. Around these parts whatever he drove always was hitting on eight cylinders. Unfortunately you could’nt say the same for his brain. So long, Fred. Here’s a shot of his last stunt: (click on pix to enlarge)

some smoke out of the hood would be great
I like it!

Looks Great Steve
GREAT![(-D]
Was the TexASS cowboy driving under the influence again? Hope he was wearing his helmet. It would be devistating to loose him.
Naaaw…I’m OK…I jumped out of the T-Bird when I saw the babe talking to the cop in the “Seen Better Days” thread - but I’m standin’ in line behind Vergun and Lazzie… she’s a definite HootchieMama - Whoa!
…but I was wearin’ my helmet!!!

Looks like Fred took driving lessons from Joey Chitwood![:O][:)][8D] …Keith
Fantastic, Jon! Now that’s something that will be sure to catch people’s attention!
Thanks, Guys! Here’s a shot from further back before the poplar tree was cut down to extract the Fred’s T-bird!! (click on pix to enlarge)

Driver must’ve been tanked. Must’ve been some bad moonshine in the barrel.
(This layout has some curious points of interest. Bit different from your garden variety toy train layout.)
Yep, Dave, Jon’s a bit more creative than most. And probably a couple of other things thrown into the mix too. ![]()
OOOP!! My bad, fellas. The car is not a t-bird. I was informed it was an experimental turbo engine Chrysler. Not kidding! That should explain everything![:D]
My dad told me those turbine cars were loaned to people on a temporary basis. An uncle of mine had one. They were maintianed by Chrysler and when the experiment was done they shedded them. A couple were preserved in museums and one was stuck in a watertower after it left the ground at high velocity.
