    Hey Fella's - Well, It's time to for me to get packed up for the big move. I've got to get the computer boxed up and ready to go. After today, you won't be hearing from me for maybe a week or possibly a little longer. I'm having to argue with my new landlord about cable and Internet access...

    I did what I said wouldn't but with no regrets!

    After weighing alot of options and considering my current job and moving situation I did something I said I wouldn't do. :D I went ahead and sold my Spirit 27 T Bucket frame today to help finance my move to East Tennessee at the end of the month. I took a small hit on it but I'm not worried...

    On National TV!!

    Motor City Motors

    Just finished watching a re-run of the 26 T Gasser build episode. Think what you want but I think it was foolish to take a really descent looking stock 26 T and butcher it to build a gasser. :( To add to the disapointment the T got smoked on it's debut run! :D Serves em right! [cl I can't wait...

    The Model T 100 Years Later - a cool video

    My Aunt sent this to me thinking I might like to see it. She was right, it's pretty informative with a lot of production line video. It's almost comical to watch the T's tackling the roads back then. [cl Cool thing is they made it look pretty easy. Amazing what is considered old technology...

    Here's another - "I know it's not a rat rod" story but....

    A buddy of mine gave me a car last week. :D No it's not a classic muscle car or a vintage hot rod or not even close! :mad: It's a very straight and rust free 89 Volvo 740 GL 4 door wagon with 312,000 miles on it. It runs good but not great so I'm gonna see what it'll take to get the tired old...
