Re: Ranche De Tardel: Day 1
No matter how many times my dad had resurrected an old engine of any kind from the dead, There was taht Certain look, the satisfaction of a GOD LIKE feeling, of bringing the old beast back to life. I sure miss those old times with my dad. (R.I.P. Dad) I have been lucky enough to see the look on my lil girls face (Rebuilding her 4 wheeler engine just last week) and hopefully soon enough in my Son's eyes as well. They both seem to be gearheads, and can not get enough of anything mechinical and especially old and historical. Great Thread Ryan, keep us posted..
Thanks
