    7 more days and i will be home

    as most of you dont know me, I have been living in SE asia full time for the last three years.
    so my hot rod time is very limited, this year i will be staying for 5 weeks, and i am going nuts waiting for next thursday to come.

    i land at 1:30 pm in minneapolis and hopefully by 4 I will have a model T on my trailer. i cant wait, so many many plans for this summer I should be able to have it on the road friday, not done but a driving project, next summer i think will see the Chop and body work, but who knows it may happen this year yet, then up north I have a few things to get done really not alot but i am hoping to get some of my 90% completed projects done this summer.

    any ways i am just going absolutely out of my mind waiting to get back to the US

    SE Asia? I hope it has changed a lot since the late 60's. I was in SE Asia (Vietnam) for 18 months, and I was the happiest sob to be home in the world. Welcome back. I hope you get a lot of hotrodding under your belt before you have to return.

    i am in vietnam myself, working in HCMC formaly known as saigon. all i hope is that my project has not been sold out from underme when i get home, as has happened on other trips home, this close to the trip it just makes me worry at night

    and to add to that

    all the times i hear guys on here bitch aobut not being able to ge a bob's big boy burger or and in and out burger where they live, we dont have so much as a mcdonalds burger king or wendy's in this country mainly because the beef is so bad here, i have not had a burger since i was in the philipines 5 months ago, god how i miss the food
