    A whole different kind of build for me

    This car is for sale. It's a very nice car, has lots of new parts, but it just isn't "me". If you know anyone interested in a really nice 1971 Mustang, have them contact me at [email protected]. I need to sell it in order to build something older and not so shiny.

    Almost starting from scratch

    No, not yet. It's on Smashwords.com, Amazon in both print and as a Kindle, and copies of the novel are always available signed and numbered from me on my website.

    Still writing books

    I got the third novel in my series of vigilante justice action thrillers published in October of 2021. It's weird thinking that I am actually a published author. I did some writing for Thunder Press 25 years ago or so, and sent a few articles to magazines, but never actually thought I would sit...

    Almost starting from scratch

    Things have changed I finally got the new place completely re-done, then spent some time writing my third novel in the "Hammer" series, getting it published in October of 2021. Got good and sick, along with my wife. We were both nearly bed-ridden for a month. I finally got back to work, then...

    A whole different kind of build for me

    I sold my '56 Ford Fairlane to a guy who offered to pay what I asked...:D I bought a '71 Mustang coupe from a friend because he made me a deal in order to see what I will do to/with it. It already has the front suspension/engine/transmission/rear end stuff taken care of, so at least I can save...

    Ford 250 I6

    I got a '63 Falcon Futura with a 170 Special I6...I'd like to find a 250 (same block, 80 more cubes). Anyone know what vehicles they came in other than 69-73 Mustangs?

    Almost starting from scratch

    Thanks for all the kind words, fellas. I hope to be able to get back to some side jobs now that I can walk and use my left arm better. I have a new project in the planning stages, have actually picked up a few free/stupid cheap pieces for it. Hopefully I'll get a couple current obligations taken...

    Almost starting from scratch

    I've been gone for awhile, dealing with "stuff". Our old adobe house started falling down after we had spent most of our savings remodeling the entire interior. We used what funds we had left to buy a junky old trailer to have a place to live in. I started taking side jobs, building food trucks...

    Been a long time

    I'm glad to hear you're okay. I guess I wasn't the only one to get distracted by real life.

    How's your weather????

    Hey Doc, I tried a few times to reply to your post, but kept getting an error message. Thanks for your post. I do still have the car, but the other day was the second time it was out of the garage in nearly a year. What with re-doing carpentry, plumbing, and electrical stuff on the house and my...

    How's your weather????

    We had a pretty good snowstorm a week or so ago, then yesterday it was almost 65*F... I go in for rotator cuff surgery tomorrow then knee replacement when I can handle crutches. Maybe by the time I'm up and mobile Spring will be here. 😁 I had to drive the '56 to a doctor's visit during the last...

    Things just got worse

    Thanks for all the encouragement, guys. I know things will get better at some point (at least I sure hope they do). Its a good thing I'm not a quitter, because the combined weight of all the crap that has happened is starting to drag me down a bit.

    Things just got worse

    I haven't been on here for awhile, due to working crazy hours trying to make enough cash to get our trailer ready to live in before the old adobe house falls down completely. I've been working at a friend's shop, building a food truck (the first of three) for a customer. Any time away from...
