Soaring you asked about my town...................The town has a population around 60,000. We have two high schools that have produced five NFL players in the last ten years. Usually one of the two schools is in the state title game. Football is big here and most people are either Clemson or Carolina.

Several movies have been filmed here. Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" and "Carrie II" most recently. They casting for a new movie now, but I don't know much about it other than it's set in the 40's.

The artist Vernon Grant was from Rock Hill. He was known for gnomes. The most famous of which were the Snap,Crackle and Pop charecters on the cereal box.

Oh crops....Peaches and cotton.

Nah we speak pretty good Spanish in Texas. Heck, there are more Mexicans in Texas than there are in Mexico.

The correct pronunciation is luh-keen-tuh.

Hey Jelam...I was the high school band director at DeSoto for about 9 years. We competed with Cleburne in everything until we became 5-A. Small world.

Yeah thats what alot of people say and I agree. Not sure how good are band is now. I konw that the school news said something about it at times, but I didn't care much about what was going on. The only time that I had a newspaper from school I used it to hit my friend in the head the gave it back.

You'll get there Syntax. Just keep plugging away, and someday soon you will be cruising around Disneyland. I was at Disneyland in Anaheim several years ago, and was standing in the street in front of a shop, when lo and behold, Dolly Parton came out of the store. I asked to have a picture taken with her, and she agreed. Yeah, she is definitely well endowed.

I'm in Ontario Ca., and finishing up the restoration of a 67 GTA S-code fastback, with a 390 stroked to a 416, which should be on the road in a couple of weeks.

Hey, Jimmie.....post some pics of your car, and especially that engine. Man, what a set-up. You lucky dog you. And, excuse my bad manners. I just now realized this is your first post on this forum. Welcome, and come back a lot to tell us how you did your restoration, and to give good advice to others who post for information.

WOW! That is a beautiful car. Have you thought about lowering the front end? Or will the engine lower it to what you want? A 416 huh? Never heard of one. Tell us about that engine.

The engine and c-6 combo will add about 800 lbs to the front end, and the Shelby drop may bring it down another 1/2 inch. Which should bring it down where it should be. Also I added a before paint and body work photo.
