It is the first car that I had on the road that was mostly legal and I'm glad to say I kept my first car! It is metalflake blue with white convertible top, SBC, 2-'61 Vette WCFB's, 4-speed, '49 Mercury rear, '32 Z'd frame, '32 radiator shell, Ford steel body and steel '49 Harley fenders, flat face SW gauges, Cragar spokes, etc. I'm trying to bring it back to its glory one more time! Will post a picture if I can figure out how. By the way, Rigsby, I about cried too when obama went in. Please wake up America and VOTE out the professional politicians ASAP!
All I can say is good job. Many of us which they still had their first car. I have had 4 Chevelles, one 70' Elky & the 69 Camaro... now I have a 68 Chevelle. I would love to say i had my "high school" Chevelle... but she is long gone... sentimental reasons are deeper than a good deal or good trade. Oh well... kinda like DD's Mercury... neat car. I know what he means by doing stupid things here & there too... Did a BIG Burn out last night leaving the Dave Ramsey class last night out of the church parking lot- got punched in the shoulder by my wife for that. She did not like it at all... said I need to "grow up" & that she did not feel safe when the car started to go sideways. There was nothing I could really say at that point.
