i like the old t birds a lot. i'd say go for it, but do a ratty custom, or a kind of mad max lowrider.

i could go on and on with this, find something that makes you feel fulfilled, makes you happy, do the best you can, don't expect anyone else to understand, try to remember there wouldn't be any good without the bad. beauty has no opposite. do unto others as you would have them do to you (in any...

yeah i'm already having to restrain myself. i've seen some interesting stuff come in already. but most of what actually gets to this yard is real junk. there are some little gems laying around though, there are two bins full of carburetors sitting there that are going to be going out this week...

i haven't seen any auctions around here, but it seems like anything in this area is at least 1-2 thousand more than what it should be.

got a job working in a scrapyard here in town. just started but it's going good so far. glad to have finally found work, and work that i can deal with that is also interesting. we don't deal with automotive specifically, but there are a few things that come in, so i'll keep my eyes open while...

i've got one i've been working on off and on, i think i've got to wait till i get home to get the most recent picture of it up here though. planning on slipping a motor in to it. it's surprisingly comfortable with the dual shock setup. i have since these pictures were taken built a springer...

well, in a slightly different direction, i love working on aircooled vw's. everything is easy to get to if you've learned the little tricks to it. you don't have to bend over the hood to get to the engine, you just pull up a (short) chair and sit down to work. the bad side of it: vw electrical...

i might be down at the new mexico state fair. at least we are supposed to go, i don't know how long it's going on or anything. me and my girlfriend and her son are heading down there to see her family for a few weeks. i always liked the tractors (at the illinois county and state fair's). my...

they use drones out here, but i haven't seen one yet. the coast guard always flies over us too.

that was really funny.

i know where there are some good 67 parts. one of my neighbors' husband(?) used to run a boat shop, also built up mustangs. he isn't with us anymore, but a lot of his leftovers are. mostly 67 parts, couple doors, some nos vent windows, window regs. lots of gauges and gauge panels. a bunch of...

so since i finally got it legal, i decided i was gonna take it out for a little run around town, changed the oil, gave it a shot of gas, started it up to let it get warm, busted a radiator hose.:mad: of course none of the parts stores around here carry hoses for this, so i've got to order them...

i just heard about it. used to live up in nederland. hope everyone out there is alright. beautiful part of the world, shame.

i've been basically flat broke the last couple of years. quit doing what i was doing and moved around and hitchhiked a lot. right now i'm doing ok, not making much but i'm starting to line up work. it is REALLY hard to come by where i live right now, but i found a lot of things i like here so...

well i got the good and the bad in the same car, but more good than bad really. previous owner (original owner) of my galaxie apparently never drove the car, th odometer says 54,xxx miles and i really think it is correct. but i also think she never washed the car, and her great idea of body work...
