I mentioned to Randy above that the '39 sedan was for sale to make room for the other stuff. The "live wire" showed up as scheduled.......with his wife......and she proceeded to nip at his butt about how much other money he was spending on building his new shop...............that didn't bode well. Not to worry though, another fellow from down near Sacramento had been in touch with me from a couple weeks back. It was one of those "as soon as I sell............." deals, so I didn't hold much success for that. But, mid last week he wrote again to say escrow was closing on the sale that week and he wanted to drive up to look at the car. He and a buddy left yesterday morning and came bye last night, looked it over and went to their motel to "sleep on it". This morning he showed up with money and a U-haul trailer and away the old girl went, back to California. Surprisingly I felt a moment of melancholy as she was towed away...........she'd served me well last summer. She wasn't the prettiest thing, but had charm by the boat load (sounds like the description of a blind date with a buddies sister!!). Anyway, now I'll be able to have some better order to the garage, all is good.
Fortunately I took some time last week to take a "family portrait" of the toy cars that were currently on the ranch before the '39 departed.Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 04-14-2015 at 02:15 PM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
