seriously?
bot much? Skynet's learning at a geometric rate, apparently. We're hosed.
The difference between them is 01001111011101011101001
looks like bots are now looking for inactive members and hacking their accounts. The OP made one post in 2005 and now a question like this? If their IP gets banned, they're determined to get here somehow. Why we're such a popular attraction is a mystery.
Just tangentially, on the forum I created as a proof-of-concept (I'm in Las Vegas this week and hope to show it to MY powers that be), I noted that an account had been created from a Russian IP address, but no posts were made. The forum software has some safeguards (Captcha, etc.) in place to prevent that.
Nice, OS. I wish we had some way of making things easier on Ken F. I'm not trying to kiss his ass, but we all owe him endless thank-yous. Is something like Capcha easily integratable?
Define "easily." The version of vBulletin used here (4.2.4) is end of lifed (not even on life support). There are some items already integrated, there are also add-ons.Quote:

Good Evening to everyone in this thread. Believe it or not,.... This is a legitimately posted question and it is quite true that I have not posted on this site FOR A DAMN LONG TIME. : )Quote:

Thank you again.
Taos Turquoise was introduced on a limited basis for 1956 only though never listed in Fender's "official" roster of custom DuPont paints. The color was originally developed by the Ford Motor Company's Lincoln-Mercury division. Fender would later resurrect this shade as an available color for selected Custom Shop instruments.
I've never seen "Miami Blue" but this is Taos Turquoise......

I recently learned of the Miami Blue finish from this MusicZoo thread:

Have a good evening.
The Miami Blue hue doesn't seem to have much, if any, green component to it as with the Taos Turquoise color.

Slap me silly and call me Sally, an actual live person. I've been playing whack-a-mole so much that everything was beginning to look like a mole. My apologies.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Fender didn't make a Salmon Pink or a Coral before faded guitars had people trying to figure what to call them.
Then there is the sticky wicket of how digital cameras capture colors and how monitors display them. Some colors are notoriously difficult to capture, like Metallic Ocean Turquoise.

Very weird- I cannot see any image or image url in this post unless I go into edit mode, & then https://i.ibb.co/r3BRbsB/DSCN9846sm.jpg shows up inside the img tags. When I paste the img address into my address bar, I am prevented from viewing the page:Quote:

looks like something new Fender put out. I checked with Sweetwater and they have it too.
nice color blue, for sure.
Thank you everyone for your very inciteful replies. : )Quote:

Both colors are very becoming......

Even then it's not perfect but I managed to get an attractive photo nonetheless.
great oogly moogly, look at that thang. mmmm. gorgeous.
i get stuff daily from motor magazine sites, the stream of classic cars going to auction. Not everything sells for crazy money but the standards like Chevelle, Cobra stuff, Mopar are apparently almost paying off what the owners put into them. Some stuff sells for retirement kind of money. 'Kay, thanks, bye. Gone like a fart in the wind. Buy a homestead from a motivated seller and try to live off grid as possible.
That's a '69? I had a '68 El Camino that looked like the front end of that. Just like this one. I thought '69 was when they changed the face. Maybe that was '70?Quote:

Chevrolet's A body shell remained the same from '68 and '69 but they used different grills and taillights. Also, the '68 still had the wing-vent windows and featured round exterior mirrors. 1970 introduced an all-new platform with a squared-off grill and front clip plus taillights set into the rear bumper. The top-dog Super Sport powerplant was a 454 while the standard 396 grew to 402 cubes (but was still referred to as a 396). Also new for 1970 was the optional cowl-induction hood available on the SS models.
I apologize for my earlier, snide remarks. We've been spammed here so much lately that I thought this was a spammy topic.
I still consider the design lines of those model years the best of Chevy's output. The Nova SS, the 60's Camaros, the Chevelles and the Corvettes, they were all pretty and recognizable.Quote:
