Thank you for the kind compliments... but truly - I'm just a retired salesman -- that likes working on "stuff" and I have the space (The Shed) and some modest investment in tools -- and I'm only LEARNING to use them. I do many things over... and learn something each time... My "time" is the only thing I have lots of and the skills just need "time" to be honed. I don't even get upset about doing something 2 and 3 times - because my expectations are low to start with!! LOL
I was hoping to have the car "done" and gone by May... but then summer came around - and I'm the grounds keeper and pool boy - and I like to golf with my buddies etc -- and I have two cars of my own to keep up with - and love to make changes on them... so the 55 kind of got pushed to the side for a few weeks in June while I did some stuff on my own junk. After next week (GoodGuys in Puyallup) I'll jump back on it - there's little to do now - finish up the wiring -- the dynamat is all done - the trunk is all built out - the motor and trans all done... so it's "windows" and power locks - and some A/C and heater hose plumbing... and fiberglass inner wheel wells to fit and paint... So maybe by the end of September? Then it's time to re-do my 37 Ford!! And it's why we have winters here in the PNW! Time to hang out in the shed and make some 'stuff'!! EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA
