i took a week off school and work to make my way down to the swamp to pick up some cars and some parts and just get outta town for a while. Got a free trailor on tuesday, did some quick fixing on it then hooked it up and left for LA fri night. Drove all hopped up on energy drinks till afternoon the next day. Was awesome seeing the sun come up in the desert. Stopped at a motel and slept for a few hours and then back on the road. Made it to louisiana sunday night. Louisiana is a great place, wish i could have stayed longer. Ended up loading up the trailor with a model a sedan body, 34 pickup cab. and enough parts to build a whole car almost.

On the way home i built both those cars about 30 times in my head. cant wait to get working on em, just a matter of deciding which one to go at first. Made it home last night. Only thing i regret is not having more time to stop and visit more friends along the way, a week just wasnt enough time. All the cars and parts i got was great but the actual trip was the best part. The sunsets in texas were awesome.

Traveling for a living I take those sunsets and rises for granted. As for the 34 you must give to me to keep me quiet about snuffing off your fiance'. She keeps asking when you are getting here and now I have to tell her you had MORE IMPORTANT things to do. She will be CRUSHED.

I'll keep an eye out for whatever i stumble on. door's are a bitch to find in decent shape.
My cousin has had a chopped '34 cab for a LONG time..
the only reason he hasn't done anything with it yet is he hasn't found good door's to build on around here.

there out there, ya just gotta find 'em.

thanks on mine... but it's really just a fun old hot rod..nothing special.
