We have two drive ins left in my area . The Overlook and the Warwick both do car shows late on a Saturday then show an old movie last time I went to the Warwick drive in they showed Rebel without a cause

We don't have a local drive in but there is one an hour away https://mesadrive-in.com/ and another a few hours away but it is also is a motel that you can watch the movie from your room. We stayed the night there two years ago and they were playing the last movie that Clint Eastwood was in CRY MACHO.https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/bo...%20the%20movie.

North Dallas had the Gemini Drive In Theater. 2000 Cars, twin screens. By the time I got my drivers license it had declined and only showed raunchy movies. Flesh Gordon is one I recall. Real estate, best and highest use finaly killed it. They had good food I remember. It was pretty embarasing heading North out of Dallas at night in the station wagon with the folks an seeing 50 foot breasts on the screen.

"The Gemini Drive-In became Dallas' first multiscreen drive-in theater when it opened in 1965. The $1.5 million outdoor theater opened with a cocktail party and celebrity appearances. Frankie Avalon and Deborah Waley hosted an autograph party at Gemini before the screening of their film Beach Blanket Bingo during the theater's grand opening. The drive-in could accommodate 2,000 cars. It later added a third screen. The owners tried unsuccessfully to sell the land in the late-'80s, but it the land was not sold until the mid-2000s."

We rode our motorcycle to the Rockies a few years ago and stayed in that motel. I fell asleep before the movie started.

Lol. It was fall of 2020 and the restaurants in town were closed to eat in dining . We had to pickup food and take it back to our room.

the drive-in at Harpers Ferry WVA closed down and became a flea market. That's what happened to the Westview Drive-in on US40 near Catonsville, MD too. The Harper's Ferry flea Market was the greatest. All laid out the same as the drive-in was, gravel rows with grass between where you parked. The snack shack was still there serving food and there were bathrooms. It had a lot of antiques and quality collectibles. The guy that ran it had a white '68 CST/20 Custom Camper all restored. I used to set up there, $10 per day. At the corner along the hiway was a longtime running produce market. It was one of the big attractions for Harpers Ferry tourism. Everybody there for other things like playing in the river (swimming/tubing/rafting/canoe/kayak), checking out Historic Harpers Ferry and it's shops & restaurants, camping, and a few came to visit the National Battlefield. The battlefield is the least of attractions. Don't get me wrong, I'm big on history and have visited all the Civil War sites in this historically significant region. But the site just adjacent to the drive-in/flea market was just a preserved farm that you hardly ever see anyone drive into.

I admit I'm negative on it because The Battlefield Trust chaps my butt. They came along and bought the property the drive-in/flea market is on and shut it down. I think that was a shot in the foot. People came from all over to go to that flea market, and if they had time to spare would go check out the battlefield. This land sits right along US340, an elevated grade about 30' dual hiway. At the far end of the property from the hiway is the old road that takes you up to a river rafting outfit with brightly color school buses, a zip line, and other razmataz. Nothing very pristine history about this property and it just sits there overgrown with the fruit stand and old drive-in sign falling down. I don't know why, other than being full of themselves and their hoity toity hifalutin attitude, they couldn't have continued leasing to the flea market. A lot of local people of low income relied on that flea market as a suppliment to their well being. But there were also antique dealers there from Washington, DC showing up in their Mercedes Benzes.

Ok, rant off

Chevy Christmas to all!

I got the Arkansas K10 fenders and doors from the paint shop.

[Killer Bee]

your shop looks warm

[72 tigger]

Are you back on the K10?

Soon. We got moved in. I am still organizing things at the new place. I have my shop at home started and when the weather breaks I have a lot of yard work to do so it will be a while yet before I get to do a lot on the trucks.

[davischevy]

It's toasty inside, 7 degrees outside.

[special-K]

Crazy temps out your way. When was the last time you saw single digits?

The was precious cargo bring those pieces back home. Did you have a police escort? Looking good. The K/10 will really come together now. I've had those same pieces to my '67 stuck in no body work hell for years. I hauled parts a few years ago to a friend's so his brother (also friend) who does perfect work could prep them. His brother got divorced, didn't have a place to work in his new digs, the other brother moved, and my parts are packed in behind his hoard of parts. I took them over to speed things up

[LT7A]

Those look good. Just be careful carrying them over there. You don't want to get fresh ochre on the blue one or the green one.

Yeah, I will probably move the truck a little closer to the parts.

[special-K]

It's good to hear you are in the new place now. I've been interested in how it was going all along the way but only asked some in the beginning. I figured I'd let you tell us what you wanted as it went. I know you had some waiting for the framer, for one, and possibly other slowdowns. Didn't want to annoy.

I'm sure it will be a busy spring for you. Got to get that place right on the outside now for mamma, and just to be done so you can move on. Then there's the shop. Not just building it, outfitting it and the yard work on that. I always say, "It's good to keep your hands full". I think you agree

2021 – Assembly Bill 1346 (Berman, Marc), Small Off-Road Engines (Chaptered)

Summary

Requires CARB, by July 1, 2022, consistent with federal law, to adopt cost-effective and technologically feasible regulations to prohibit engine exhaust and evaporative emissions from new small off-road engines, as defined by CARB. Such regulations must apply to engines produced on or after January 1, 2024, or as soon as CARB determines is feasible, whichever is later. The bill requires CARB to identify and, to the extent feasible, make available funding for commercial rebate or similar incentive funding as part of any updates to existing applicable funding program guidelines for local air districts to implement, to support the transition to zero-emission small off-road equipment operations.

however CARB is waaay to busy mismanaging the ACF rules.. multiple testing rollout delays, poor communication, lack of clear instruction, etc.

Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation Summary
Accelerating Zero-Emission Truck Markets




at least this part is working - CTC registration fee collection for NST compliance will be strictly enforced in 2023

Clean Truck Check (HD I/M)

By December 31, 2023, vehicle owners need to complete reporting of their vehicles in the Clean Truck Check database and pay a $30 per vehicle 2023 annual compliance fee. CARB estimates that periodic testing requirements will start in July 2024.

that July 2024 date has already been pushed to January 2025
