Best of Show dragged into the 21st century
 
Dick's daughter dragged him, kicking and screaming into the 21st century by making him a Facebook page and a Twitter account this past weekend. I never thought I would see the day when the man who despises "facetube" and "Tweeter," would have apps for both on his smart phone, but amazingly enough, that day has come and gone, and Dick is still alive. Between the two of us we will be adding content to the page on a regular basis. Right now there are some cool projects being built.As always there are Camaros and Mustangs, but there are a couple original owner cars one, a '57 Chevy purchased before a couple's honeymoon, and the other a 64-1/2 Mustang purchased in Chicago and driven out to California on Route 66. There is also a '38 Ford getting a turbo Ecotec, a Dodge Power Wagon, an RCR GT40 Replica, and of course the One Lap Car, which is currently getting all racecar-ized.

So, whenever you're looking to waste a little time, head over to Facebook. Neither of us know how to use Twitter, so don't hold your breath waiting to be tweeted back, (twit?) if that even is such a thing.

I wish I could just "LIKE" threads... it seems to be so much easier than typing nowadays. I am getting too lazy

enzo 01-16-2013 05:11 PM

Yeah, it turned out really nice, especially for a replica, although it does have a surprising number of original parts, like headlights, etc. and many one off metal pieces.

Ratman, 95 percent of the pictures were taken with an old little Cannon digital camera. I can't remember the model but I bet you could pick one up on ebay for 20 bucks now.

Enzo, you'll be cool one day soon.

Say it ain't so, Dick?

When I saw BOS on Facebook, I couldn't believe it! :willy:
Some nice photos! Thanks for fixing him up!

Scratch the Twitter and just start a Instagram Account. You can link the Instagram to the Facebook page. Much easier.. and you can gain way more followers. Just a thought.:thumbsup:

Tell 'em to hurry up and finish all that junk they've got decorating the place so I can get my own orange pile down there for some lovin'. And yes, I "liked" them too.

Don't worry he is still too set in his ways to post on here. However, he did tell me yesterday that he wanted me to start a build thread on his Corvette for him. He would probably post, but the only time he has time to get on here is at the end of the day when he has a Budlight in hand, and that makes typing too difficult. ;)

I told Dick and Jon about Instagram, and Jon's response was that he had heard of Instagram through one of his favorite sitcoms, Two Broke Girls, where one of the characters said, "Twitter was for retarded people, and Instagram was for retarded people who couldn't read." We have to take small steps with those two. Jon just recently started sending text messages.

Dick's busy - let the man work for goodness sake!
