Thanks both Don and Steve (UK) for the info and photos of your tops, Who was saying you guys were balding, your tops look good to me.
I'm surprised that the auto upholstery industry isn't as popular for the young generation to get into and learn as a trade over in the USA, maybe it is just not manly enough to know how too operate a sewing machine? As I have mentioned before,my young brother is an excellent trimmer who has had his own business where he had an excellent reputation for motorcyle,hotrod,custom and vintage car work plus the normal day to day repair work. The only thing that stops him working in that industry now is him as he burnt himself out and now works as a boat builder exporting boats all around the world. I am intending on going out to the garage today and having a play with the old solid frame from my old roof as it had excellent lines with the material on and I wish to keep that look if I can. My problem is my knees don't allow me to stand too long before the pain sets in. Oh well another 7 weeks today before operaton 1 to rectify the knees and boy I'm so looking forward to it. Enough of my grizzles but it has been so fustrating not been able to work for a living but still in too much pain to even go out into the garage and work on the bucket. Life can be a sh*t sadwich at times and this site has been a god send to help keep me a little crazy.

Ya know Whiplash, if it wasn't for the craziness on here, a lot of us would go insane. (oh oh, wonder if that will open up the door for Bob to sneak a shot in?)

Don

I see he's off line at the moment, give him a chance.

Jack.

Shhhhhh. Be very quiet or he might wake up.

Don

Actually it has been the good old fashion ribbing,humor and Uncle Bob and Richards' ability to found and post those hilarious photos that I have so enjoyed even on my worst day. Kurt and yourself with the pet stories add some light relief also. I guess that is another reason I so enjoy this site compared to the other car ones.. Just a core lot of really great amazing friendly knowledgeable people on here that somehow always makes me smile and I think life is good after all. So again,thankyou guys for every thing and especially for this site that is "Great People,Great Cars, Great Fun"

For you it would be a shorter trip than for most....

Soooo, I take off on a road trip away from the 'puter for several days and it's pile on time huh?

Well I can't let our Kiwi mates down.

You guys may have heard that Pops is currently unemployed, but fear not, we caught a pic of him on his way to a job interview.......he should be a shoo in! Notice he's got his favorite colors on........... I thought the man purse was an especially stylish accessory...........he's such a clothes horse!

"Road trip, road trip ?" Well, I guess running down to the store for smokes in your car COULD be considered a road trip. At least have the decency to put your shirt on Bob.

Don

PS: I didn't get that job BTW. They said I was overdressed or something like that, but I think it was age discrimination personally. (and it isn't a purse, it's a Manbag)

Welcome back from your looooong road trip Uncle Bob, where are the photos and running dialogue on the big trip???
That photo of your latest project is a good one,but one would have to be careful throwing the man bag into it as the sills (rockers) panels look really strong.

Well Whiplash, Bob is a little down right now. His roadtrip took him to his heros home town in Connecticut, only to find out he doesn't live there any more. Something about they rode him out of town on a rail.
