The idea of the show is that a guy in Dallas (Richard Rawlings) and his mechanic (Aaron Kaufman) go around and find old beat up cars to turn into hot rods. Its interesting to watch even if you aren't a gear- head (or, you are like me and are just a wannabe) because you can often see places around North Texas that you recognize. Actually, they even bought a 'Vette off of a guy I recognized (but that's another story).
Anyway, in a recent episode, they went to Roswell, New Mexico and bought a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 that they brought back to Dallas and totally tricked out (I would love to have that car!) So, you might be asking yourself, what does this have to do with DARS? Settle down, I'm getting to it!
The whole theme of the show was space and U.F.O.'s and stuff (a Galaxie from Roswell, get it?) and when they showed the completed car, they did it here:
For those with sharp eyes, you can see that they are at the good old Frontiers of Flight Museum, Actually, they are right about where DARS sets up for Moon Day every year! You can see Apollo 7 in the background (and I still want that car!)
So there you go! I hope to see everyone at the Fall Classic next Saturday! Until then, fly 'em fast and loud!
