I like it!

I'm surprised you would go so flashy...:cool:

Nice!

It has to have a little "touch of hot rod" going for it.


Charley and I were just texting -- this will be my last hot rod ever. My plan is for it to be a daily driver -- so nothing too fancy --- but if it's real functional AND a bit hot roddy -- I'm in.

I now have NO TOOLS -- NO SHOP -- NO DESIRE to build or work on this stuff anymore..... And at my age and precarious future -- I'm not going to begin to aquire all the things I've lost. You just can't duplicate things that took a lifetime to gather. Just buying stuff - isn't the same. It was the "environment" and the network of friends....the environment is gone. I still have the friends. That's more important.

I've also found that I can put some guns in the truck - hit the range and what was going to be an hour or two - ends up being all day.... again -- friends are there and we spot for each other or work on the scopes or what have you. I've gotten in to shooting competitively which is fun and you meet fellow idiots....and I love plugging long range precision.... that and my track cars... call it good.

Time for a signature update! :D

I know what you mean, though, on a much smaller scale. I've made a lot of friends through the car hobby even though I no longer / currently own anything worth considering cool. The people are definitely the most important part.

Can't wait to see more updates!

Well said Greg.

Fixed it! Thanks for the reminder. I'm old... and barely functional. LOL


I will say -- it took me awhile to get over the complete and utter destruction of the greatest part of my life for the last 50 years.... I'm 63 and began working at Gateway Body and Fender when I was 13 (for $1 an hour sweeping floors on Saturday).

I still have ONE of the Craftsman tool boxes I bought with that money. The bottom 3 drawer roller that was being used for TIG parts is now long gone with the sale of my "shed" and all it contained.

The ONLY thing that makes me cry (happened again last week) is when someone asks me about "what did I do with my shop". It contained "my life". The memories and the friends made are all that remain. Time for Stage V of life.
