    Good hot rod buddy Kirk Hanning (the one who was stranded in Minnesota) Rules! Not only has his garage harbored the Beater for the past couple months but......I get a call today from him while I'm slavin' away for the Man.
    "Hey, I'm at Pontiac steel, need anything?"
    "Yep....3/4x3/4 square tube for some subrails."
    "Done."
    Last night, I went to be let down again by the Beater when he decided the '34 big truck chassis needs to be unloaded from the trailer. (We needed a distraction.)
    "Whacta gonna do with this 'Flattie?"
    "Want it? It's yours. We'll get it out eventually."
    Trailer empty (that was fun) he tells me I can also have the Y block sittin' outside. Complete engine and tranny combo out of a truck.
    Told ya.....friends rule. Hope everyone has good friends like I do.

    Hey Kirk....if ya need a hand mounting the roadster body tomorrow, just yell. I'm game.

    I was once told that when you die IF you could count the number of true friends on one hand you would have been one lucky SOB.

    If you're dead, how you gonna count? If you can do that you are a lucky SOB, or a zombie...

    I can say I'd like to be that kind of friend but don't know many like that. I'd say the closest I've come is Chad Ritter.

    Ok I'll edit it for the english majors:

    I was once told that on your death bed IF you could count the number of true friends on one hand you would have been one lucky SOB.

    Better???

    If he'd have spent more time working on your car (and his) he probably wouldn't have a pregnant wife. Unless there is something the mailman needs to get off his chest...

    And I think the 'death bed' was a critical part of the sentence. But then again, I took math, not english. I know all too well about counting on my fingers...

    Almost every piece of high dollar equipment in my shop (and my shop is well equiped) was given to me by friends. Some day I will do the same thing for young rodder buddies!

    Sounds familiar, but they tell me the only asshole is me:eek:

    Actually my friends are gold. If I go to a swapmeet with them and mention what I'm looking for -- they always make a point to let me have it - you know so long as I see it first.:confused:

    Plus if my buds are selling anything I want - it's mine !! Well so long as I'm the high bidder on Ebay:eek:

    They also look out for me at the swap meets - when I'm debating about buying something they talk me out of it - then buy it themselves - that's one of my favorites!!!

    Shit, Man...having good friends is how things get DONE!

    Like someone observed when DirtyT and I were building his Ford...and big chunks of the 'parts car' had to be wrangled into the bed of the truck to be hauled off to scrap..."Looks like that was quite a job...one guy to lift heavy objects, and another guy to take pictures of him struggling!". It wasn't obvious from the photos...but in addition to manning the camera, I was also drinking one of his beers!

    Oh yeah...and we won't even TALK about the day THIS photo was taken...

    :eek: :D

    Well if it wasn't for my friend's I wouldn't have my truck or half of my part's.Friend's are one of best thing's we can pick.
     
  17. You can pick yer friends, and you can pick yer nose, but don't pick yer friend's nose!

    What a great crowd! But seriously folks; a friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a dead body.

    Just another tip from yer UNCLEE!

  19. I don't have any friends...:(:( (sniff, sniff)

    OK seriously, I have a couple of great friends. One has hauled more than one project home for me and had to be threatened with physical violence before he'd take any money for the diesel he burned on the 800 mile round. Even then he would only take $50.00 He gets free upholstery repairs for life. :D

    The other drove his own truck 20 hours round trip with me to get a motor for the Rambler.

    i try real hard to be that guy. it rarely (but on occasion) gets returned to me though. true friends are hard to come by but worth more than their weight in gold when they do.
