    Johnboy, does your better half read these posts? And most importantly, is the doghouse carpeted and air conditioned?
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    Yeah, She knows She's called that, (She Who Must Be Obeyed,) She knows too that it was the car that was the attraction initially.
    If I call her that in public She gives me what can only be described as a 'look' and says "Yes, at all times and without question."
    And yes, the doghouse, my shed, is air conditioned, and although it's not yet carpeted, I've got the carpet. And a beer fridge!

    And Ron, good on ya for working out the gallery. Bob Parmenter posted some pics of our cars there for me.

    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.

    Ron, you are doing right by that little '55. It's obvious you have taken the time to do a great job. Plus, I like them bbf engines.

    As for how to keep a project logged........simply keep coming back to this thread and adding new posts as you do stuff. That is how I kept my build thread alive......every once in a while toss in a cat picture or two, and Bob will be "kind" enough to insert some pictures for you. Nothing to it.

    Ron, it looks like you are building one sweet double nickle Ford. I've always liked the 55 and the 56 Fords. Keep posting pictures of your progress.

    And that's just the outside one.......wait 'til you see the walk-in one inside!
    And yeah, Bob, you're right abiut the "Last Resort".......I've seen the builders two days so far this month.

    Ron, the work you've done on the car so far looks pretty good, I reckon you'll have a bobby dazzler there.
    It's obviously not going to be just a patch-up job. Good on ya!
