    And then this happened At Home I might add at 5:13 PM. This little guy is only about 1 hour old and he's already hangin with Dad in the garage. It really is a big deal for me cause I ain't getting any younger at 48 & I've already got 4 great Daughters.

    You made him wait a whole hour before he finally got to jangle in the shop with you?! Aren't there child protective laws about that in Nebraska?

    Well you may be a tough dad, but the Daly's '55 looks great! Love the "Bad Man" stripe - nice touch. And the gold leaf is very cool!

    Congrats! When I first started reading this I was thinking that right after you got done it somehow got crashed, dented, scratched. I'm glad it was something good.
    The lettering looks great.
     
  12. Congrats, good job. The car too.

    Congrats!! Nice to hear of another home birth. The '55 looks awesome.

    But what happen to the "y" in "Fire Power By"? Is that when the wife said, Honey, can you come catch this?

    It looks out of place and like you droppped the brush in a hurry.

    If that kid turns out as good as the paint, he's gonna cure cancer. Congrats on the new addition!

    Looks nice. What color is paint is that? It looks real close to what I have in mind for my '55.
