Well, guess I must be even stranger then I thought!!!! Even enjoyed yesterday knocking the factory brackets and grinding that scaly rusty gunk off the 9" housing that's going in the 'Maro.!!!!! Sometimes the tedious stuff wears on me, like blocking the dang thing one more time but I always figured if it was easy, everybody would do it!!!!
My most favorite part of the entire process is coming up with something just a bit different then others have done, maybe it's just something little and simple or maybe it's throwing away half of the (perfectly good) sheet metal from a car and starting over!
The only bummer part of the whole deal is that age has taken it's toll on the old bod, and I can't be out there doing it 15 or 18 hours everyday like I used to....seems like I'm cheating when I'm only up to about 6 hours or so of good quality shop time in a day...but I'm still out there on a almost daily basis giving it a try.
But, my MOST FAVORITE part of any build is when that big brown truck pulls up and starts unloading all the new and some not so new goodies that I've been waiting for!!!!!!! After all, all little boys love getting presents!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
