Weld's 40 Ford pickup

[DBasher]

Spent a bit looking over the thread, almost forgot what was going on....With the build moving forward again, have you got any fresh renderings from Jimmy? The interior drawings look great, I imagine pleats but the doors and dash look really good, basic with a bit of classic style.

Prime that Chebby and ship it off to the boy, he'll figure it out!

Darn...I was hoping for build updates with pics. I see your selling off the herd Greg. Your banker, Mr. Lillard crawfished on the loan terms, and needs his money now, huh? Hard to trust a guy, with rigormortis in his middle finger...

Jimmy should be working on more detailed "build" renderings as we speak. RE: Interior.... I told Tracy (Recovery Room) I wanted "early horse blanket".... but frankly = I'm not sure what I want - but it won't be for car shows... it'll be for daily wear and tear and use. Simple and useable and rugged.

No.... I'm really just realizing a "sea change". The move here has changed a lot of things - not the least of which is not having 30 years worth of hot rod buddies dropping by and hanging out or working on some project or another.... and frankly -- I really like the track day driving - which is a relatively new activity for me and I'd like to do more of it at a higher level (just because). Now - going forward, I'd like to reserve more of the hot rod driving to various road trips... roadsters aren't good road trippers... and the '33 Coupe was bought from my buddies widow simply to help her out.

Since I have TWO track cars -- I can put them both up for sale and if one sells - I may still have another to use... but the Mustang is getting a full engine refresh and Jerico rebuild - so would be fresh as a babies ass.... and now would be the perfect time for someone to buy it. It's fresh - it's fast - and it's dialed. I am discussing a new track car project - which would be really exciting and fun.... and if I only have ONE track car - and a shop in Californina - I don't need the toter/stacker -- so it all just folds up into a major change.

I'll just repo it.......

Greg ... you going with a Ron Sutton Track Warrior? That would be my choice if I ever won the lottery .... just saying!

Dang Greg you really are making some changes. So when is the new house for sale and the move to Napa taking place?

That sounds like a pretty smart idea.

Funny when a car is finally done and reached its potential how
you are sometimes ready to move on.... Greg has the mustang dialed
and I can see where he is ready for the next step- which he mentioned to be me at the Track.. sounds like a pretty cool project

I finished my Pantera many years back and enjoy running it and actually
cruising it also... went to Alice's in the rain yesterday... but am still tweaking
my Firebird so that gives me something to work on and fine tune

One of my Pantera buddies loves to tweak on his car but rarely runs
the car...his thing... Others show them which is their thing.. I have
a couple of others wanting to get them track ready but to many other
things in the works

I have thought of cashing out of Kalifornia many times but think
I would miss the buddies coming over to the shop and the many tracks,
cruise nights so close and often

I wonder how much effect the 'Weld provenance' will have on the sale of these vehicles...

Zero --- and could be a subtraction....
