You need another project.

Why don't you come up with Jimmy this week to see the RPU?

Oldgas.com has enough links to keep you occupied a while. I post over there in their shoptalk forum some. Damn good guys and real serious about that hobby.
If you need a pole or lamp shades, buzz on up to Chip's Dixie Gas show between Sevierville and Newport April 15-17---plenty of pumps, signs, clocks, cans, etc. I'll be set up sellin some pumps and stuff.

Thanks guys! I've got this big ass sign that used to cover the water well at Grandma's house.

Bill, I didn't know you were on here. I sold the 6x2 intake to Marcus on here and I traded my coupe parts pile to Radshit for his truck. I still drive the Essex and the wagon. I finally brought my merc out here, man is it fucked up. When yo gonna post some pictures of all your stash? I need atop for my merc, know where I can get one?


Jim, I might have to take a road trip down Saturday, Jimmy and his wrecking crew are putting a new roof on my shack and I don't want to end up helping. haha I hate work!
