Hello to all surfing through cyberspace today :-) I dont know if you have something similiar in your neck of the woods but here we have something called Cool april Nights. it is similair to hot august nights. and if you are still shaking your head its just an excuss for everone to get out thier hot rods and cruise around and show them off. this year they had some really nice cars and I was lucky enough to find my home on one of the main routes for these wonderufll cars. I enjoyed sitting on my front porch and watching them rumble by. It makes me long for the days my own car is finished. What do I have you ask? well when I went lookng for an older car to fix up I immeadiatly discarded the 50's era chevy's and alot of the other traditional choices for a build up. Its not that I dont like them; quite the contrary I have seen some wonderfull examples at various shows I hae been too; but I wanted something different, and being a proud father I wanted something that would be usable as well. and I found it :-) it is a 1968 plymouth fury wagon with the commando V8 and the custom suburbin package and it is all original, even has the am radio in the dash. I was quite pleased with it and have some plans already in my head for the build up. nothing too radical but I do have plans ;-) Of course this is taking longer than I had expected. Anyone with kids can tell you it always takes longer then expected but it will get done and then I will be rumling down the cruise as well. well I am off my head is filled with visions of my completed car and I just want to sit back and savor it. have a good day all.
