Thanks Dave. Yeah, he hasn't cut too many corners on stuff, so it should be a basically brand new car when done. I think he's starting to get really excited now to hear this thing fire up........after all, he's missed two Turkey Run deadlines, so the fun is starting to wear a little thin for him at this point.
Don
PS: One cool thing is that I get all the hand-me-downs as he upgrades stuff. The car hasn't even hit the road yet, and he has redone lots of stuff, and I am right there with my hand out taking the old parts. I'm such a packrat. lolLast edited by Itoldyouso; 02-20-2007 at 02:20 PM.

I am a new member, and it took me three days to read through this thread. It is by far the best thread I have ever read from an internet forum. I feel as if I really know a few of you now. Congrates on a couple of sweet builds and the details here are great.

Welcome to the forum Rickomatic. Glad to have you here, and that you are enjoying our little get together. Yeah, this thread has turned into a little meeting place like the old general store.....lots of tall tales and just goofing off. It's like the Seinfeld Show of the internet.........all about nothing.
I'm gonna show Charlie. As soon as I get this air compressor licked I am actually going to do some work on the T again. Got the base for it made yesterday, now I just have to hook it all up and I should have more air than we need. (I hope)
From your intro, I think you are going to fit in around here pretty well.
Don
BTW, we want pictures.Last edited by Itoldyouso; 02-27-2007 at 01:22 PM.

I got 'em $ 29.95..........shipped in a plain brown wrapper. I couldn't afford Paris Hilton, so I just used Hilda Preston from down at the retirement home. With the bad lighting you ALMOST can't tell the difference.

Ol' Hilda, what a great sport she is! Proper lighting she could pass for Walter Matheau too but don't let me pop your bubble! Is she going to be possing with the T Itoldyouso when she's done?"Sunshine, a street rod and a winding beautiful Ozarks road is truely Bliss!"

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
