A little concerned about recent issue of Pano & the early cars for sale!
Most recent issue had 3-4 356's & no 912's! 914s were sparse too & most were DE or track cars. What's the thought? Are we becoming dinos too, just like the 356/912 people? Or, do we just not go to PCA these days? Like to hear your commennts. Pat |

A dinosaur's view.
I did my 6 conversion using Pano, Up fixen' and other print media. The far end of Pano was where one found bits and reliable sellers of them. All the sellers had to be PCA members. Where else would one find NSO (in it's wrapper) Solex cam? Did the same when building my 2.7L. I was computerless till early 99. Only then was I faced with dishonest assholes & massive mis-information to navigate through. Sure, I like the instant gratification of the internet but you have to pick & choose your sources. Without a solid base of knowledge .....it's down the primrose path you go. Between internet expurts and guys that want to sell ya something it is no wonder I've become a cynical asshole. A Dinosaur soon to become petroleum products (another internet misconception)..... JPIII |
