    Welcome back,, nothing happened while you were gone,, at least most things have been scrubbed from hard drives.
    Now let's talk about that drop out motor and drive line! Way ahead of the pack
     
  3. I'll have what's he on.

    Whitey Clayton's reaction to you swinging for the fences might be even worse.....
     
  4. Fave' !! Car, not meds ... nor pain either. I'll take the car, and a kick in the balls for it though. At the ready ... aim/line 'em up ... now where's the keys ?

    Them opiate hallucinations can be a bitch. I had a lung resection in '12, due to asbestos in both lungs from submarine engine rooms, and I "knew" the latino nurse on the nigh shift had a huge machete and was going to cut out my bad stuff! Course when I told doctor that and he took me off the meds, she turned out to be a real nice lady.
    Oh and this roadster is truly nice!

    Amen, brother. Thanks for the education on this incredible piece of machinery, Boss. Quite the amalgamation of stuff: '29 Chevy frame rails, '34 Ford front axle & spring, '39 Ford front hubs & wheels, '27 T body, '48 Ford steering, "late Ford" hydraulic brakes, '47 Mercury flathead . . . talented hotrodder! What a machine.
    Haha! Don't touch that nose! Oh man, was Whitey talented.

    Talk about un-sprung weight, the car was a mechanical phenomenon, and so sleek.
    Glad you're on the mend Ryan....

    Great looking car. I think that track nose lived on a parts house shelf for years, someone used it to clone the rest of the car. Bob

    I'll have to show this post to Don when he walks by my house in the morning with his dog. .
    He'll get a kick outta knowing he was bungy cord bound while you sliced/diced the nose that Gene Scott gave back to him off the wall of the AA/PSI SHOWROOM.

    Ryan glad that you're on the mend ;).

    DD Don, Gene died some years ago - Jim now runs the shop.

    Ryan, next time someone complains of a toothache - tell 'em they're dreaming.

    You might need to get an Aussie to explain this comment.

    nice to see you back on deck again
