I don't know, Bob, you seem like the opera type to me. :rolleyes::D:D I remember those days when my one GF used to drag me to things like Phantom of the Opera! (wish we had a gagging icon to insert here :D)

Not actually last weekend but. Drove to Al Sun & closed on house Mon afternoon. Almost ready to make the move south!!
 
Thanks, earthman. Along with a new home will come a new garage, of course. Looking to do a 40x40. But, that's another thread,,,,,
 
I'm getting some stuff done but it involves cleaning up some loose ends on other little projects so I can start on my 34 sedan. Nothing really worth talking about yet.
 
training, easter, eggs, candy, rear wheel tubs done, ham dinner, back to work.
 
Did some work to the 1958 Rambler American. Remove the stock front seat and install bucket seats with five point safety harnesses. Remove the stock rear bumper and installed a push bumper. Started playing with an intake and carbs for the engine.
 
New tires, started building a top w/visor and hopefully,
this week finish installing the the 2x2 set-up. :)

Ever since we got Dan's rpu done the only thing we have had time to do is drive around ! I can't pry him out of the driver's seat. :D He keeps saying "lets take our cars and go to dinner, or lets go to the beach for a cruise."

Last weekend we went for a drive to a show about an hour from home and then Friday night of this weekend we drove down onto Ft Myers Beach and had dinner. Yesterday he and I drove to another show that was about another hour or so from home. He is in the process of painting and mounting two 50 cal ammo boxes in the rear of the bed, one to carry cleaning supplies and one for tools.

Here is a picture from the show we attended last Saturday, we took all three of our cars and it was cool to spend the day with both of my Sons.
