Times are changing
Reply #26 –
There's a small two-bay shop practically a stone's throw from home, in the back of the paved lot for a large gas station in town. Was a Mobil and now an Xtramart. But the shop was built in the '80s I think, sort of "along with" the gas station building, I'm not sure the history. I don't know much about their work, but the guy gets plenty of business. I have seen a two-tone brown 87/88 Tbird with wire hubcaps there for a few days once, and a white one that seemed to sit there a couple weeks or more.
He has a mid-90s black Chevy rollback that has "not for hire" on the door bottom. That usually sits in the pizza place parking lot next door. This spring it had a dark blue very nice 87/88 TC on it, snowflakes and all, for a couple days. Last night, got fuel, noticed a medium blue 87/88 bird, seemed like a base model with the flat slotted disc-type hubcaps, like the white one had.
I definitely need to stop in and talk to this guy and see if he's a fan as well...
Based on several sightings over the last 5-10 years, I'm convinced there are quite a few Thundercats in this area...they're just in hiding and don't come out a whole lot. And they certainly aren't modified. I remain basically alone in that arena, and all of the hot-rod related events around here are usually a pretty good indicator of who's playing go-fast.
