Weld's 40 Ford pickup

[DBasher]

Hey you big trucker, I'm going to assume ewe lost service yesterday and that you didn't actually hang up on me....either way, sounds like you're making it happen and it was nice catching up.

Just a reminder...

Keep on keepin on! No bad days!



ps, they let me out of the psych ward

Yes ---- I did hang up on you.... next time call with something interesting. LOL

I've just spent 3 days driving from Nor Cal --- thru Wyoming - Colorado - NW Texas.... Cell service should not include the word "service". Even with my new Verizon service (switched from AT&T after 15 + years) "service" was less than stellar in TexASS.....

So back on track <see what I did there?>....... We'll defer to the OP reason for this thread. Something about a '40 Ford Pickup build.....

I pulled the build from Pinkee's Rod Shop... for no other reason than I'd like to try to get it done before I die. I love Eric - the shop does fantastic work - but I no longer have the luxury of infinite time. I might live to be 100 -- or the stents in my liver could plug up tomorrow (or today!).... and I'm on the GREG WELD time table now. That means CHOP CHOP GET IT DONE!

Left the smiling douchebags in California - and headed to Loveland Colorado with an empty trailer (in 40 and 50 MPH gusting winds!! OMG)..... and loaded up the poor old '40..... and headed off to Georgetown Texas... got here yesterday and unloaded.

Adrienne is currently working under Chef John Carver at RED ASH in downtown Austin. They're opening another new "concept" restaurant - with a completely new menu in a couple weeks - and then she'll move there and be the Sous Chef. I have to tell you -- I ate at Red Ash last night.... and it was OMG good! So you guys in Austin.... bring your appetite and wallet - and do it.


By the way --- the LOTUS was shipped from Charley's to SW's in Austin.... maybe he (SW) can make it go away. I just don't have room for 3 track cars in my new little space at Thunderhill.... It's a FANTASTIC car... but old yeller is the one that cranks my heartrate up...


Gwen and I will be flying back here for Gwen's birthday (undisclosed number) and maybe the grand opening of the new restaurant... and a trip out to Custom Hot Rods of Andice to come up with a plan for the 40 after they do some assessment.
