Very cool!
Dillion is a great company!
Lifetime no questions asked warentee
on they're machines. I have a few. Wore out my Square Deal, sent it in and it came back brand new for the cost of shipping. You can't go wrong if you're into hand loading.
 
Gentlemen,

Dillon Precision is located here in Scottsdale and in addition to making excellent reloading gear Mike Dillon was a pilot of note in both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. Mike died a couple years ago but back in the day we performed together in several air shows. His daughter in law, Kimmie Dillon called and asked if I'd make my new GT available to duplicate a Blue Press cover they did with a then brand new 2005 GT back in 2005. Back in '05 they used a local 35 year old hottie named Cathy Rankin. "Who are you going to use this time?" I asked her and Kimmie told me they would use Cathy Rankin again. "But she's 50 years old now?!?!" Kim replied yes, "But she still looks great!"

When Cathy showed up at my house I was blown away. Look at the photos above with the realization that she's 50 years old. Incredable. Below is the Blue Press Cover from 15 years ago of a then 35 year old Cathy. Cheers.

Mods, thank you for upgrading the post.
A lot more relevant with the "history".
Appreciate the input.
Best,

Wow GREAT choice on the car and the Model.
 
Impressive to see history repeat itself. Both models look great. I wonder who's 2005 GT that was?
 
Lovely... on all counts!!

Impressive.... and the cars too. I had a Dillon Progressive loader years ago... very fine piece of equipment.
 
Loaded up couple hundred rounds .357 Magnum on my 550B Dillon press yesterday

Very cool Chip !!
 
Very cool Chip
 
way to go Chip!
 
Roger on Dillon.

Was going to say "forget about he car; who's the girl? 50? That's amazing.

Will the car look that good after 50 years? I'll bet it will.

Great job Chip!

I should have a copy of that catalog waiting for me in the mail at the Cape, if I can ever get out of here. Will definitely frame the cover and put it in the GT garage.
