A 16 inch/50 caliber Mark 2 gun loaded on a truck being transported to Fort Funston, California on April 14, 1937.

This gun had been manufactured for USS Saratoga (CC-3), when she was planned to be a 35,000 ton battlecruiser. While under construction, she was converted into an aircraft carrier in accordance with the Washington Naval Treaty.

Coming soon..

----I'm being a name dropper, but bare with me here. I had dinner at the host hotel in Bakersfield at the Hot Rod Reunion in 1993 (maybe 1994) with Fast Eddie, Doug (of Doug's Headers), and Bob Riggle. Just luck on my part as Bob invited me, but what a fun evening. People kept coming to the booth and saying hi to those three and looking at me like I was from Mars. Didn't care as I was with three such famous, at the same time very humble people.....Bill S

----It seems to me that all the bars in the drill should be black. Am I right?.....Bill S

UGH! That's my old car that I sold as an unknown LO23 Hemi Dart. Had I been smart enough to sand the flat red, quicky lacquer paint job that was put on it decades before, I would have found the entire Dick Landy paint job still intact.

Even stupider that, was the fact that the magnesium crossram was sitting in a box from Diamond Engineering addressed to...wait for it...DICK LANDY ENTERPRISES!

Sigh. But then, I did make some money on it. (or I thought so at the time).
Here's what it looked like when I found it in 1989.

----Most of us have been there, Steve. I couldn't dig up the scratch to buy my cousins 65 Cobra 427 comp car. If that wasn't bad enough it was serial #3. Can't dwell on stuff when there are rent payments (back then) and no big pay checks coming in. He wanted $5,500 for it. I started hitting up family members but they were all too smart and considered me Krazy. Ahh,,,What do they know!!!.....Bill S

i need to remember that name next time i play hang man
