Awesome that you've had her all this time. Crummy about the resto situations, all too common story. gladly it worked out in the end. Beautiful Mustang.

Harper decided to pay me a visit at the bench. It was difficult to get a pic, at a hundred pounds she thinks she's a lap dog.

Hurt is one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs.

That's a cool looking custom truck, I agree with leaving the top alone, and the channel. It would look good on any almost any wheel combo, depending how you decide to take it.

Nice work Gary. I've always liked the first generation corvette. Great color combo, too

Thank you

Tha intake would have been cool, you've got some space restrictions with the big block. Looking forward to see how the radiator works out, gonna be tight. Looking good 👍.

Thanks for the congrats on my sobriety, and I agree it was the best decision for myself. I don't "preach", everybody's situation is different. I learned "myself" from mine.

That's a crazy dream. I think the stress is affecting your sleep. I've gone through similar, bad relationship/marriage leading to divorce. That lump of electrified bacon between our ears can and will conjure up some absolutely wild situations when pushed. I developed insomnia, led to drinking heavily, which led to a host of "wonderful" personality traits and behaviors. Haven't had a drop in 11 years this August. Handle what's important, take care of who's important, and most of all, make sure you take time for yourself. People often forget to do the last one.

When I first got this idea, I looked into if those years even had safety glass, from what I found on H.A.M.B. henry ford was one of the first to use it. Anyway, the safety glass he used as I understand it, was 3 layers. Thickness is something I would have to deal with, getting that foogy look around the edges is all I'm trying to do. I think that may be the most difficult thing to do. Thanks

Old delivery or mail truck perhaps?

That's not bad at all, the two tone and black bumpers. Never knew this existed. Similar to the little red express dodge had.

Good thinking, nothing more realistic than the actual thing. I've got some ideas to try out now. Thanks

No welding by "braille" is permitted in the shop I work in, my boss considers that a fire-able offense. My work varies, one week it's schedule 120 12 inch pipe, the next it's railings for apartment buildings. I've done high pressure titanium valves and couplings,(that last thing that had me up at 2am)steam ect.ect. Aircraft and nuclear is about the only things I haven't worked on or with. Even the shielding gasses can cause problems, most of the green horns aren't aware of, or don't care. Argon displaces oxygen, and pools in lungs. C02 the same. Uv burns suck, skin cancers worse. The list goes on. I'm not captain safety, but I'd rather have some quality of life after I'm done working for a living, if I get to retire.

That's usually the typical response. Fiberglass can be some nasty stuff, with the limited experience I have with it. I've seen the chopper guns, they were building car bodies on a channel I follow. One thing I noticed they were fully suited and had respirators on. To me, Fiberglass would cause problems similar to silicosis from grinding wheels. Or asbestos.

That's his "winter vehicle".

Only the trikes and military here. I want more ford's for the stash

Thanks, lots of fun work so far. Haven't had any free time to get back after it, hopefully the weather relaxes around here.

That flathead as shown is way better than what came in my '34, nice work on the headers, and fitting the chassis. These cars look great no matter how you build them.

I'm surprised you got a response, let alone a prompt one. Maryland seems to me like they're actually on the "ball". At least the EPA is. I've never had a situation such as yourself, or your neighbor. I'm just very aware of the "goings on" around my home, I worked too hard for what I have to see it become a smash and grab good will store. Cameras on both the garage and house, and my land is posted. Not that either of those will prevent anything, just add evidence. Hopefully they follow through.

That's a sweet looking ride.

Around six years ago I had a lengthy hospital stay, including 20 days i.c.u. I was mistakenly billed as if I did not not have insurance, and those numbers were sickening. Luckily we were able to straighten everything out, but the difference between under or uninsured and insured is night and day

Beautiful vw. Lowered just right. The color combo, inside and out, perfect. Very well done.

You can tell they enjoyed themselves on that journey. To take a 100 year old car on a five month run, that's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Great job on this gto. I usually like the older boxy ones, this body style is growing on me.
