The owner started with the running gear , engine firewall, cowl and radiator and built the rest a couple years ago.

  1. I would commute to work in that if I worked, so, cruising around the neighborhood and on the look out for cute chicks...

    1. Yea Kevin, trouble is at this point in life the bloom is off the rose on most of those chicks. Manufacturer's warranty has expired on most of the ones you'd attract with that rig. Truth be told yours and mine has expired as well.

    1. Hey Kevin. Thanks for checking in. Hanging in there the best I can. Mom's health has been a bit sketchy and that has required my full attention. So no time for much else. And "I'm whistling through the graveyard" myself as my doc saw numbers he didn't like and has me lined up for another round of unpleasant invasive tests once again.

    1. Hey Kevin: I do appreciate you keeping an eye out on me. Like I wrote you in my email, things have gone a bit pear shaped on me lately so not much time for distractions. Just when I figure I got one thing sorted out, the other end pops out and craps the bed on me. Not sure what things will look like down the road. Just one day at a time right now. All the best to you too.
