Greg, that's what you get when you live in the convergence zone:D Beautiful here in Hic town.:woot:

5 minutes later.........RUH RO, spoke to soon....sunny and 81 my bu----tt

That's a great picture of that car...

The rusty one in the background.




The red one is not so bad. :yes:
Very cool you are out crusing and enjoying the view. Nice.

Brett

Brett! I've got 3,000 miles on her already! And considering I wasn't able to drive it for the first "year" -- I'm doing pretty good!:unibrow:


I would work at Divers just for the views. They're OMG! He's got 25 acres there and it's set up like an old farm with the 'junkers' strategically placed - and the farm tractors etc. Then you go in the buildings and it's a whole 'nother world.

Congrats on finally driving her! Now let's see some pics of that shop! :cheers:

WE wouldn't know because our lateral-g buddy won't let us on the inside with few pictures of the wonderous things happening behind the curtain ... so we just set outside, dejected, abused, and feeling abandoned... watching a concrete girl, some corn and a goat.

:lol:

Jim

What a bunch of whiners.... 'er... oops -- I meant WINNERS.... just like your mommy told you were when you whiffed at the t ball... :willy: :D


So here's the amazing STORY behind this '54 Cheby.... the owner paid a guy a weekly wage to build this car - for 18 YEARS.... Yes you read that right... a weekly wage for 18 YEARS. The car never hit the street... a 'buddy' that is also a car guy talked him into bringing it over to Timmy. Where it was discovered that a crossmember was made out of exhaust tubing - and the quarters had a 1/4" plus of bondo in them... and the doors chipped the paint because the car had no support... and.... well you get the picture. It's now a brand new car and will debut at GoodGuys West Coast Nats in August.

Bellevue to Yakima
 

Hey Greg! I drove the 405 east today and thought I was in your neck of the woods? I hope we can get together while I'm out here this week... Yakima is a big disappointment after driving 90 through the pass though! LOL

Yakima is a big azz nothing..... Sorry to you Yakimanians...

Haven't heard from JayR -- so I'll email and see what the plan is.

Looking like I'll be done early tomorrow and back in Seattle! :thumbsup:

Sorry for being late to the party, too busy reading Camaro threads lol

That looks awesome Greg, well done. :thumbsup:

Yeah Ty - We're all hooking up for lunch -- well not really "hooking up" like the young kids say -- but we're having lunch tomorrow. See ya then

It's 35° here and I wanted my 2500th post to be a warm one...

Eeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Waiting for updates.....:mock:

:thumbsup:

Update! It's in the nose of the trailer -- which is backed tightly into the shop. It's winter here... not much need for a true Hiboy Roadster... so looks like that's your update you trouble maker.

POS is going in the living room of the new taj mahal.

its the new coat rack in the house I'm thinking

Like I need you two "F'r's" to chime in....



THIS is not the Taj Mahal.... it's just a couple more parking stalls than some houses.... with a view....

Can't even give the guys Christmas off huh, slave driver. :mock:

Actually we're having such a good winter -- in a ski town that means cold and snowy -- the plan is to finish the foundation and stop work until spring. All those black "tarps" you see on the foundation are covering blankets for the heating system that is keeping the fresh concrete up to temp -- that has to be heated for 7 days or it won't cure. It's not worth the extra expense to commence framing when there's this much snow and cold.

must suck to have to walk 50 feet to go skiing

There are TWO ski areas here... Dollar Mountain is directly across the street from our condo. It's all set up for snowboards.... boasts one of the biggest half pipes in North America... rails to grind - jumps - you name it. The girls snowboard so that's where we went.

Normally I would walk out the front door to the street in my street clothes and board the FREE bus for the 10 minute ride over to Warm Springs Lodge where I keep my ski stuff in a locker upstairs... and I'd ski Baldy Mountain. Lots of people ski before work for an hour or so - or go skiing on their lunch break etc. They (Sun Valley Corp) make it so easy.

Sounds lovely, Greg. Glad you're enjoying the place. How long are you expecting the house build to take?

Trey -- It's fantastic place - as long as you don't have to make a living. For us - it's just so easy. It's a resort... the jobs here are working in restaurants - ski lift operators - or services etc. There's no "industry" other than home builders and they're small and "custom". Town (Ketchum) is under 3000 people full time - so being a Lawyer etc just ain't like being in the big town.

They say 18 months to completion. That of course doesn't take into account delays due to weather. This is all well known in advance and when you're living in a town that is at 6000 feet of elevation - weather changes dramatically and quickly! WE all had hoped to keep framing thru "winter" but winter has been great this year with good snow.

Thanks Greg. Given the size and level of build, 18 -24 months sounds rather reasonable to me. Hope it goes smoothly for you.

I knew I recognized this car:

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Event...OADSTER-200894

That would be the one.....


I thought momentarily about buying it "back" (sold it to a buddy who is a HUGE Barrett Jackson seller) - who took it to a Mecum auction - and a different buddy bought it -- and they're also in the business..... and they took it and sold it at BJ.

You surprised at all by the price?
