Speaking for everyone, cause why not. We'll miss you. On the other hand have a great time. Venison in the freezer! Elk hunting for me either this weekend or next.

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2020 Have a great time, Mark. I kept at it with the deer belly and finally managed to make it work for me, for both collar and head. A lesson in less is more. Much less. From the side and from below: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2020 Maybe it's just me - but that long black ride sure looks like a Chrysler Imperial, or a model of one (and now that I've demonstrated just how old I am... I'll shut up). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBPatt 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2020 Pretty sure that’s a Coupe de Ville, ‘59 or ‘60. I was only 5 then, but our neighbors used to buy a new Caddie every 2 years. Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chugbug27 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2020 @Capt Bob LeMay, I think you're right, it looks like a plastic model... I found the pic on my phone looking up 1958 black Cadillac, and couldn't see that well. 🙄 Onward and upward... @Mogup sent me a fun gift, which arrived Saturday and I've finally gotten to it. An owl casting... of regurgitated muskrat. Turned it into this Harrop variation: Thank you, Pat! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niveker 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2020 Pretty sure @SBPatt is correct. It's a '59 Caddy, the bullet tail-lights and groovy curve on the front edge of the angle window give it away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
