Absolutely beautiful car. Here lies the problem. Dave lives in the People's Republic of New Jersey (where I grew up). I'm sure some neighbor will turn him in (not Mr. Adams who appreciates Dave's fine work) because he did not conduct the 17 required environmental impact statements,the 12 weeks of asking his neighbors if it was OK that he conducts his hobby (and of course pits the proper legal notices in the local rag).
I do wish Dave continued success with the Chrysler 300F (Is that the Christine car or was that an earlier one?). He's right, the way the plumbing connected the dual quads was just a work of art.
My thoughts exactly CW. I knew George Barris had built the original Batmobile and I always heard he used a late fifties Chrysler. But I googled it and it was actually a Ford concept car from the early 50's called the Lincoln Futura.
Anyway nice ride and a nice job...and it damned sure ain't a Camaro.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! I've also invited a few friends to join in, so pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Secondly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility ONLY for what I write. I do not take responsibility, nor will I be held responsible, for what my guest bloggers write or for what those who offer comments write. I will occasionally exercise my right to edit/delete both blog posts and comments if they do not meet my view of what clean, civil, concise and relevant mean.

Dave's a neighbor, those pictures were taken 3 blocks from my house. Good to see his fine work being noticed!
