Lee Salmans brother and wife with a project they plan to restore. This is the car Lee drove in the 50's. Lee was from Larned and a very popular driver on the Merrick Circuit etc. Lee now lives in Utah and from an e-mail quite a while back is still involved in racing as the flagman at a track out there.

Now if someone would do the #88 Rocket Don Sprier drove in the late 60's we would have the two favorite drivers out of Larned covered again. The body is still around I've been told.

The 88 car is restored, orignal body, frame, and motor. He don't bring it out much. Thanks Dwane

Was this car always at Larned, Ks. I went out and looked at a old 34 Ford sedan at Larned several years ago not the same car. Thanks Dwane

Is the #88 restored like this body style. Which maybe this was the #88. I think this was Cecil Apple's of Great Bend?

Warren; I sent you a picture of the 88 car, I don't know how to post pictures. This car was Owned by Jim Lyons of Great Bend, Ks. He Built 15 of this bodys he sold some to Nance. Terry Uhueling bought the car this started the 27 number. Jim sold the molds to someone but can't remember who. The picture was at Norton, Ks. Dwane

His name is Alan Salmans, don't know his better halfs name. We will have to wait and see which one of those Hudsons gets on the race track first, The other one is Orville Beckels old #98. Dwane

Rustyrail picked this car up not too long ago.

You might need to resize your pictures. I've run into this before. It's easy once you find out how.

LOL...easy for you to say. Just starting to get the hang of putting a picture up. Kind of got the hang of that, now have to learn how to put text with it, without having to come back with a reply. Next time will try to use edit instead of reply.

Hey! I'm dumber than you. Look up photobucket

get an account(free)

upload pictures

edit

resize---large

Note- Digital cameras make for huge files that take a while for them to upload. That is why it is necessary to resize them. The files made smaller or -compressed- lets a picture stay on without being deleted.

you can also do this

Does Photobucket and Adobe allow limited life on pictures posted direct from them? Have noticed some pictures replaced with a note from Photobucket saying they have been removed. Now, I see the pictures I posted from Adobe have also been removed. I am using the "free" version of Adobe Photo Album, so am wondering if they only allow limited time till they delete them, unless you go to the paid version. I noticed the picture I sent Brian is still up. Puzzling, to say the least.

Ok, next question....What is a Power User?? It now says my right click button is disabled because I am a "non Power User".

When you see the 'deleted or removed' sign from Photobucket, it means that picture has been moved from one file to another or deleted altogether.

Here's how the file gets moved.- Okay you're in, have a free account and you start uploading lots of pictures. At first in my case it was race cars. then I uploaded hot rods. Then uploaded MORE race cars, and more hot rods, along with wheels and neat little pieces from all walks of automobilia. Over time I've uploaded and posted a lot of pictures. However the pages and pages of pictures just thrown in that ONE BIG FILE take a long time to find that ONE picture I want to post here or somewhere else. So then I go over to the left and name a new file for each category of whatever I have a habit of uploading. for me it's like this-USAC, '55 chevy, supermodifieds, supermodifieds-survivors, balzers, hot rods etc. I get an organizing kick and sort all of these files in these categories. Then one day I come back to an old post that had a really cool picture I put on there maybe a year ago and it says 'photo removed or deleted'. This is because the picture was linked from that one original big file, BEFORE i organized everything.Now that I have moved that picture to say the "supermodified"file, the link is broken. Here alone on Hoseheads I have over 2,000 posts, and that's a lot of pictures that are on threads that hardly anyone looks at these days. The end result is I should have organized those files before it got too big to keep up with and before I posted here or anywhere. No biggie, just repost the pictures if it suits you.

Also a picture that is drawn straight from a digital camera is going to be huge file. If that file is too big, it won't stay long if at all on a message board.Those pictures from what I understand use up a lot of bandwidth. Conserving bandwidth here is like conserving shopspace at home. If it takes up too much room, it has to go outside.

Other than litterally bugging you guys to death on here leading up to 2,000 posts, i have no idea as to how I became a 'power user'. My best guess is because I'm a chatterbox.

The 27 car was owned by Cecil Appel and driven by Terry Kawalsky (sp). I worked at Cecil's automotive machine shop for several years.

Lee Salmans lettering the 27 Car owned by Cecil Appel and Driven by Terry Kawalaski (sp)

Alan and Connie Salmans have nearly finished or finished by now and they plan to show it at the Memorial Day 2009 openhouse in Dodge City. They are doing a great job. I believe Lee is going to letter it.
