Thankyou liteweight, and thanks for your feeback.

Oh! - that's bad! ... (and let me guess; that was not the only data you lost)

Unfortunately, my best advise is already too late, but use Dropbox (or similar "sky" database). It's safe, it works, and you can toast your slicks on top of your laptop and still be able to access all your data.

As I frequently renew my computers (as I quess we all do), I completely stopped storing work data, incl. pictures, on my computer. I store everything, except from programmes and system files, on my Dropbox - work as well as private files.

In fact, when you store on Dropbox, you actually store on your computer, but it save a copy in the sky immediately, as you are connected to the internet. This means that you can always access and work with your files, even if you are off line, but next time you connect, it automatically updates all the files you have stored or changed on your computer, since last connection.

This means that you always got all the data you had, last time you was online, and can access them and easily upload them to your next computer, even if the previous computer was crashed.

Regarding the existing files on your crashed computer: in most (i guess 99%) cases, you can recover your files from the harddrive, if it is not the harddrive itself, that is crashed. Thats far over my skills, but ask a professional IT guy if he can connect you harddrive and recover your data.

Last time my motherboard and processer suddenly passes away (PC could only run the blue screen), my IT doctor took out my harddrive and loaded a few important files onto my USB stick.

That just confirmed the point of saving ALL important data on the Dropbox.

And that's about all I know about IT - hope it will help you out.

Regarding to the issue LO23, Charlie and you just talk about - uploading pics and vids in a database, to be easier to find and access for the forum (and yes, that would be a great help, as it can take hours or days to refind a certain picture from this long thread), Dropbox could be a solution, as the members can share a folder there.

But I think that requires that the members exchange email adresses in public, and to give every member access to upload files, they also got access to download, change or delete other data in the folder.

I will ask around if there is a database solution, more suitable for a public forum. I thought maybe sites like Photobucket og Pinterest got such function, but I have no experience with them.

Found another pic of that elusive Shoe Polish on the door. It's a bit hard to make out in places but it is very evident of what it says once you know what it is supposed to say, yes???



THE Dent.
To be noted is the strange area where the majority of the hit took place. It doesn't look like it was hit by another vehicle or went sidewise hitting a post because the dent diminishes the closer it gets to the wheel well opening. The majority of the dent is on the strongest part of the quarter which is at the upper edge. It looks like something very heavy may have fallen on it??



The "repaired" Dent







sure would like to see more pics on this one or get more info on it. Considering how close that color of silver is compared to the 1968 color, and that it is wearing the same front wheels and tires as the pic of it in bare metal, which were street tires BTW, has me almost convinced this is also the same car

You really should dust that car more often! lol





And......the yellow tint on the window? Odd no one remembers that.......... yet.

[Liteweight]

Awesome video Clint. Not too often does an HemiDart get out to play while there is snow around. sounds great!!!!

OK Lets try this. I'm starting to technically advance due to some peer pressure goin' on here....lol. I will look into this more. I tried loading this video into my photobucket page but it may have been too large for the amount of storage space I have left there. So I started a Flickr account. Thanxs for the incentive guys to take me out of my comfort zone.....lol

unfortunately the exhaust noise level at the tailpipes overcame the value of my phone speaker capability

That shaking front bumper says enough!

[LO23]

Loved your video, too! Man, I wish my car was in the condition yours was in. What a car!

Hi Charlie,

To me it looks more like a peace of cartboard or so, with some yellow letering, covering (or replacing) that window.

Could be a "For Sale" sign ?

I can track it back to "HTHarry427", who took the picture op National Speedway in the early 70's, when he was 12, but dont know anything else about the car.

http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...postcount=3045

(Notice; In the following posts, is a guy who claim he can read a lettering on the front fender, saying "LAB Machines", but even the fotographer, who got the original photo, cant read it, and no matter how much I zoom, I cant read it too.)

I remember there has been posted another picture, here in this thread, with an LO23 wearing pretty much exactly the same paint sheme, just red on silver in stead of black on silver.

Has anyone identyfied that car, or tracked the picture?

Does this color combination match what the guy who painten your car white (before Tim Henderson restored it) descriped for you?

Always good to get another opinion on stuff, and I do believe your right on that Passenger Side window. It does look like it is solid , prolly a piece of thin plywood or something because the original corning glass broke. like you I can't make out the lettering.
I'm thinking that the tow truck in front of it was part of the racing operation. There is writing on the front fender of it, but I can't make it out.

I did contact Lab Machine and spoke with the owner there last year and He does remember doing engine work for a guy with a Hemi Dart in the 70's, but doesn't remember any more specifics on it..

There are similarities on this car compared to rumors and information that has been dug up on my car over the years. Among those This car does have a tunnel Ram with a couple of big ol Holleys sitting on top. My car has been reported to have had a Tunnel Ram on it also.
Too bad there is no hood to be seen in this picture because my car was reported to have had a second scoop moulded on top of the original scoop. The owner had a nickname of 2 Scoop Lido..
Back over to the Yellow Bullet forum where it was reported the owner of that Dart was a Bob Lambandino or something like that (Similar to Lido?) Maybe 2 scoop Dino????


When Tim Hennessy bought this car off Lou Vignogna back in the mid 80's it was white. At the time of my purchase in 2001, it was believed to have been Charlie Castaldo's Dart which was Silver and red back in the early 70's. I found and spoke with the guy (Paul Pittman) who actually stripped the colors off the car when Lou owned it and painted it that white. He remembers the car being a silver, but doesn'remember if it had any insert color or not or if it did what color it was. he said maybe had a Maroon painted insert

PS Muchos Thanks to Terry Wetzel herefor giving me the heads up info on that picture.

An interesting pic I just ran across on a Yellow bullet thread about Long Island Dragstrips and the cars there.



Now look at the Lakewood bar in both & location of fire extinguisher
