Bounjour Stéphane, Bienvenue sur le forum AACA Riviera . Ce était triste d'entendre parler de l'acte terroriste qui a eu lieu aujourd'hui à Paris . Nous sommes tous Charlie . Boston Strong Rock On gord

Ed, I guess you are right about the timing, probably was more like grade school. As far as Talib is concerned he isn't with my Pats anymore he has left for the dark side and is in the Mile High City now. Rock On gord

Welcome Justin, CU has some bad times in football, but KU has had football woes since Ed was in grad school . Now basketball is a different story. I don't have any dog in the fight, I went to a school with intramural/club athletics only, but I live here in Kansas now, not far from Ed, and sent a son to KU. I also lived in Longmont, CO for about 10 years, and two daughters went to High School in Boulder. I was wondering how your car got hurt - that is too bad that somebody rammed her - It is nice to see that you are going to get her back to her former luster. Rock On gord

George, yes they are still available - $400 US plus shipping. I see that you are in Poland, send me a PM with a shipping address and I can give you an estimate. Thanks and Rock On gord

Thanks for posting the card, I am going to take a look at that IBM 5081 card in more detail. It looks very similar with most of the same data as was used through the mid to late 80's. I was with GM and EDS (a GM Subsidiary) from 77-08 and worked in 3 different GM Assembly Plants from 1977-1993, as a Manufacturing Engineer and Director of IT. Many of the processes and computer programs we used were from the early 60's and were converted to the new IBM technologies as they came along - using build sheets or manifests, and the IBM 5081 cards until they were eliminated in the late 80's. I then worked in GM Powertrain HQ from 93-95. I went to General Motors Institute, starting at 18 right out of high school in the summer of 1977. Incidentally, my father was an engineer for GM Truck and Coach and my grandfather was also an engineer for GM. I will try to find the Camaro narrative. Thank you. Rock On gord

Tom if you have a copy of one of those IBM cards I may be able to shed some light on its Use/Reason to Be. If you have a copy can you send it to me via email. We used IBM cards in GM until the mid 80's for a variety of Data Processing and Production needs, while I was working in a variety of GM Assembly Plants. If I see it I may be able to help. Also, Tom do you think it may be a good time for me to provide a narrative of the Production Order and Scheduling Process used from the 60's until the early 90's. There were some minor variations by Motor Division and Plant, I was very familiar with the process. Rock On gord

Winston, there are several people from the KC area (BCA Club - Riviera and/or Buick GS Owners for the most part) including my wife and I that will be attending. Some are staying at the Ramada and there are a few at the Hampton just up the street, including us. Our rate was about the same as the Ramada. It is only a 2.5-3 hour drive for us. A few weeks later we will be off to St. Charles, IL for the ROA Meet. Rock On gord

Ed, This winter we have my wife's daily driver in the garage - for the simple reason I would rather work on one of the classics in the garage rather than scraping the ice off a daily driver every morning. In the spring we will be looking for a smaller house with a bigger garage (10-12 car) and will fill it with more Detroit Iron. We here on the Detroit Iron Rescue Team (D.I.R.T. for short) are on a mission to save and preserve what we can. We will talk to you soon to arrange for the paint sampling - call anytime. Rock On gord

Ed, for some touch up on my engine I got the CARS stuff. I actually have most of a quart and most of a rattle can in my garage right now. If you want to stop by and pick them to sample them give me a call. The match is almost dead nuts. Rock On gord

Gord, my car is put up for the winter so I don't have any current shots. I do have this one from this past summer. It is not real close, but it may give you what you need. Not sure if they are the same on the 63 or 64 models. Mine is a 65. Rock On gord

No Mike, I wouldn't call it nuts. Driven would be the word to use. Rock On gord
