My stang specialty mechanic just bought a 351 pinto. Sounds like hell :D
super straight little 289 comet iv`e been trying to get forever .. one owner car .. had been sitting halfway in an old building for 20 years .. thats why the front sheet metal is so rusted .. it cranks and runs like new .. " gunna paint it some day " says the owner .. that will never happen .. he just enjoys it sitting in his yard and having people stop to ask about it .. it`s a conversation trap.. ;)

well .. i asked those questions about a year and a half ago and finally now have perhaps found the answer to # 3 , ( i`m still living with # 1 & 2 ) .. about a year ago one of my docs did some blood work and found i had a low white blood count yet at the time i was in pretty good condition so i brushed it off and did`nt see him any more .. recently i developed a few infections ( unirary and fungal ) ..took medicines for both with no success .. then remembered the low white blood count find and looked it up and found my current ailments # 1 & 2 on the symptems list as well as terminal anemia ( weakness ) and arm and joint pain .. mild fever ( which may explain why i wear a coat if it`s colder than 80 degrees ... i will be seeing my doc soon and hope my blood can be restored .. incedently i did have an overactive thyroid 30 years ago and had to have a couple radiation treatments and then take medicine for about a year to fix quess what ... a low white blood count .. got to get me fixed up so i can fix up some old cars ..
artificial aging at its best .. i`ve heard of guys painting old looking paint jobs on some stuff but this is the first one i`ve seen in person .. looked really good :)http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...9/DSCN2159.jpg
some work bench .. i say keep the carb and wires and throw the truck away :rolleyes:.. this buddy of mine always has projects going and mostly does them outside in the drive .. i`ve told him several times he could utalise my shop but i know how he feels about imposing on someone .. i built dozens of cars under a tree limb before i finally built a shop .. just feels better doing it at home :p

Lets see this house and garage
good movie on tnt right now .. the patroit ... my great great grandad was a revolutionary hero ..
Mrs. Michelle is now at the auto lounge.
the garage is 6 years old .. it`s amazing how dark the exterior wood has become .. the home is covered in the same stuff. i may try to stain it to match the shop..my whole property is covered in pine trees .. i like the greenery year round .. takes some of the blahs out of the dead winter season/

The House is looking close... Some windows might brighten it up on the inside!
Just a thought.:D
I like the evergreens as well!

tis the time of the year i tell my annual holloween horror story ..i swear the events in this tale happened nearly as possible as i tell them ..one dark and dreary nite i was walking home from a visit to a friends home and as luck would have it an accident up the road required i take a deture thru some unfamiliar woods .. as i sneak nervously thru the forrest i stumble upon and old long forgotten graveyard .. stepping into a sunken hollow in the ground i found myself standing on a wooden casket .. very much rotten and surprised i had not fallen in it .. i pick myself up and hasten my way back to the main road .. in the darkness from behind me i suddenly hear " clump clump thump " .. my heart races as i peer mightily into the dark to see the cause of this noise .. it stops for a second so i resume my pace towards home .. soon again to hear even closer now the same " clump clump thump " .. i quicken my pace as i near a streetlite and re-enter the darkness and look back and to my horror i see the same wooden casket coming towards me standing upright and bumping along with the " clump clump thump " sound ..frightened out of my wits i run as fast as i can the last few hundred yards yet the caskit was gaining on me with every clump.. i make a mad dash into my home and lock the door but the coffin burst rite thru as if the door was`nt there .. i in a panic sought the only good hiding place i could think of .. i dove for my bathroom and hid in the shower .. down the hall i hear the "clump clump thump " of the casket coming towards the bathroom .. it bangs against the door and soon breaks its way in .. in a flourish of excited panic i reach for anything i can grab to defend myself .. i can only get my hand on a bottle of vicks formula 44 cough syrup .. i heave the bottle with all my mite and it smashes all over the casket ... and much to my surprise ... the coffin stopped ...!!!!
Awww,come on Hoss,musta been a big bottle to stop that much coffin...**):LOL:
I'm going to bring this post back to the beginning just because of the picture.
I miss my 40 Coupe, 16 years I had that car. I hope you don't mind.

a good short read about a once local car .. mustang monthly .. the original owner once gave three astronauts in huntsville a ride in this car and afterwards they said that ride scared them much more than the trip to the moon .. the car would do an honest 160 mph at one time ..:eek:
