Yes Rat rods.. love those cars
I mention it to a few of my buddies and
they think I am nuts.. Dad has a few old dumptrucks
sitting up at the ranch that I keep looking at
but I don't need any more projects now.. would
be great hauler conversion project

Oh hell yeah --- I've seen some of the best hauler/conversions… and if I had the time right now I think I'd be planning a project - but the next two years are tied up with building the new house here in Sun Valley - which means we are splitting our time between the old home and here… so between trying to keep the two track cars going - and that - I just don't want to start anything. That's also why the '33 is being built at Brizio's. If I started it right now - I'd be 65 by the time it was back on the ground. UGH!

You could always get a bunch of cattle around
the Sun Valley home.. my dad runs cattle and
every time I go to the ranch we have a project to do
Going there tomorrow to brand the new calves
...we got snowed out a couple of weeks back

Last time I was there instead of helping fix fences, gates
etc he had me work on the tractor, generator and welder
He never has been a mechanic and figured out since I am
always working on my cars he could get more mileage out
of me. Time to dust off my Cowboy hat

Brian Hobaugh texted me another car that's now behind the poor little Lotus at his shop -- seems with a similar fate....

Kudos for keeping the 65 off the wall. The 65 I had was slippery as heck just going to the DMV and back..

E ticket ride for sure..

I've gotten better at driving the Mustang... and frankly a couple changes in alignment really made a big improvement.

The Lotus --- that was a greasy POS... I was not able to get any laps in at Laguna because I was letting my son drive it... so I have no idea if it was improved or not. I'm hoping that Brian will take it to the track and give me some feedback once he has it all back together.
