    got the body mounts made, and a few of them installed.

    mostly worked on becky's new car. we finally sold our last modern car. becky's new daily is a '62 rambler american. runs and drives great, but needs paint and interior. so we're stripping it now, while she's on vacation this week.

    You are a lucky man! I didn't know you were a viking, I never saw you wear the horny hat! :D Project looks great Mark, and everyone helping out. If it's not running, I'd like to see you flat tow it with the Ford. That would be awesome!

    HOLY CRAP MAN!!!!! This is coming along great!!! You have a start studded crew helping too!!!!! I love it! And to think that your comment about seat I fabbed up for the "Dust Bowl Spl" was, "Honey...where's the remote"? Damn man....the "Silver City" seat screams, "Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon"??!!

    This is one, great looking little roadster!!! Keep up the good work!!

    we weren't really LOOKING for a Rambler, per se, it just kinda fell into our laps. and it was CHEAP.

    our date at the beach is gonna be all kinds of awesome.

    all the cool kids are doing it, Chris...
     
  22. Damn, all the cool kids get roadsters just as I get started on a coupe. I'm always a little behind the curve.

    Great built. This one is gonna be cool. Come to think of it, all your stuff is cool.

    i'm not sure where i fit in, keith.

    and i'd have update pics, but i've been busy stripping paint off a rambler...

    hiking day trip tomorrow, paint on rambler friday, some housework on saturday, back on the roadster sunday.

    and you can see it in person if you come to my place monday for dad's memorial cruise down to plumb corner. which is sort of coming here to go home for you i suppose.

    I WAS focused on this. It's my wife's new car that became my distraction...

    a happy wife is a happy life.
