    .  Our NEW Format is now about 2 Weeks old and we are getting many of the initial problems resolved and working on others.  The biggest issue for our readers was with the Car Show coverage articles.    This is what we have fixed....  Now when you click on a thumbnail ... it will take you to the picture in the slide show that you clicked on instead of starting at the beginning of the slide show.  phewwwww.... that was a big one !

AND In case you didn’t notice,  you can click on any Slide Show image and it will enlarge it even further if the photo was sent to us in a larger size.  In  this mode, you can also SAVE the picture to your computer if you want to.  This was a big issue for many of our readers.  You will also notice that our photos are now MUCH nicer resolution due to this improved software.

Some readers are still having periodic issue with site speed ... and we are addressing that this week and next.  When we adopted this new software platform for our site, we had to upgrade our equipment ... now we have  TWO Webservers,  One Datebase Server,  A  Load Balancer, and a CDN Content Delivery Network.  Getting all of this equipment to work in harmony has been a bit of a challenge but we have made progress and are determined to tackle it by the end of next week....  Once this is all running smoothly.... you will notice SUPER Fast Speeds in all areas of our site at all times...   PROMISE ! 

There are many small issues to fix ... we are going to be addressing each of them in the next few weeks... but if you see anything you think we should be working on...  just email us or give Mary Ann a call at 877-700-2468... we NEED your help  and we want your suggestions.

Texas DMV Issues Implementation Policy for Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Law; Contains Major Flaw

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued its policies and procedures for issuance of titles and specialty license plates to owners of vehicle owners seeking registration as street rods or custom vehicles.  The policy also provides for a basic safety equipment inspection to be performed by an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) master technician.  These procedures were drafted pursuant to the 2011 enactment into law of SEMA model legislation. Originally slated to go into effect on September 1, 2011, the new law defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948...

Formed in 2002, Classic Dash is the original maker of molded ABS composite dash panels. Recently, they acquired Thunder Road, the instrument panel maker that emerged about three years ago. With a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and now called Classic Thunder Road, the Nevada-based firm offers hundreds of dash models for Chevrolets, Fords, Pontiacs, and Chryslers. Using thermo-forming machines and a vacuum process that operates at 320 degrees Fahrenheit, Classic Thunder Road molds sheets of ABS composite into modern, clean and stylish instrument panels. The panels, which are lightweight and exceedingly rigid, are impregnated with a UV inhibitor to protect them against sun damage. Says company President, 49-year-old Greg Wambold, Presently two websites exist; however, both Classic Dash and Thunder Road brands will shortly merge in one website: Classic Thunder Road.
