    '63 ford

    Got a little free time to work on my floor. I know the pictures aren't great but I still wanted to show it off. Made a new tool to shape metal . Pretty simple tube that I can clamp in my vise . And than there's Mr. Dinner.

    how many unfinished projects can you fit in your garage ?

    I know nothing to brag about but I got three. The '63 I actually hope to get on the road by late summer but as hard as it is for me to find the extra time not sure if it will happen. All I got to do is rebuild the floor and go thru the brakes.

    sure I throw in some tools when I drive a distance but for just running back and forth to work for some reason I got nothing. My luck ran out last friday night. My clutch linkage fell apart at a busy intersection on a hill and I was stuck. The cops got there quick and were more than happy to...
