I know... right!

Chris -- you know yourself... sometimes -- like right after a major thrash - you start asking yourself about how much fun you're having... but then the itch starts itching... and the tools are calling your name...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!

I'm all in - all ready!

You are a good human, Weld!
The car came out great...I like the look of it! With the seasoned paint he may be able to enjoy it even more? He has a son that can take him for drives if I remember correctly? If not, I'm sure you and your friends can find time here and there to help him enjoy a great driver!!

Yes Tony he does have a son... but he also has plenty of car buddies to go get him and take him "out" when his health will allow it. This isn't his only hot rod... he has a 57 fuelie 2 dr hdtp and a 63 split window fuelie... but this was the "dream car" so was more important to him.

Greg your a great guy. You friend is fortunate to have you as a friend. The car turned out great and is exactlly what he wanted.

I know what you mean about building a car for a friend as I just finished a 6 year project. He did pay me though and he was really happy with the outcome of the car. And I am 53 and they do get harder to do.

Thanks for being a great friend.

speaking of being a good friend...what's in your trailer GREG?

Prostreet --

Thank you for the kind words... When it's all said and done - we really just use the cars in order to hang out with others just like us... so it's really just all about PEOPLE not cars.

Chris --

I AM NOT spilling the beans here... that is for someone else should they decided to... my lips are sealed!

You're good people Greg! It's a nice story and it truly does speak to the heart of hot rodding. I spend a lot of time alone working on my car, as I'm sure most of us do, and it pays off when you can make other people smile.

I never ventured to this section,but all I can say is WOW!Greg, I's nice to have friends like you . Car turned out great ,hope your buddy recovers and enjoy driving this car for long time.

Major props to you,sir!

[GregWeld]

Thanks Stefan!

I'm not a pro builder -- I'm just a home schlepper... I just tried to build him the car that HE wanted.

He will never recover in order to drive it -- but he still likes being driven around... and his smile is worth the little extra effort I put forth.

Seriously -- being retired... and having a fairly well equipped shop... it's really not as big a deal as some make it out to be. I've got all day -- and I'm not laying on a creeper trying to build stuff... it ain't that hard!
