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.

Ken, I'm sure everyone on here will agree, your builds and your posts are both done extremely well. Every time you would post something that you did on your truck it was exciting to see. The level of fabrication skills on these cars is really top notch..........I just wish you had done lots more of these.
I've saved this picture since you originally posted it because of it being such an example of how neat something like a frame and running gear can turn out with a little thought and lots of attention to detail. It is one of those cars that you could look at for hours and still be finding new details.
BTW, did you take your Grandson to the show? If so, I bet he loved it. Maybe your display next year should include his mini roadster.

Don,
Thanks, you have motivated me on this site numerous times, I threw stuff away because of people like you and others. This site has made me a better builder.
Matthew went everyday, I had to leave the show, drive home and pick him up and take him out there Thursday and Friday. Believe me I didn't mind.
He has driven his car everyday since, this was yesterday with one of his little friends from school.
It's really neat to listen to him, he wants to so something to it but doesn't know what he wants to do, so he waxes it again.
Ken

Just what hot rods were made to do, take a pretty girl and go riding.
It has become my new screen saver.

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
