Wow, guys, I didn't realize it had been this long since I was around these parts, and also that you all were worried about me. Thanks for the thoughts, and the nice words.
For the past couple of years I have been knee deep in an 04 Mustang project for myself, and have been back to work 40 hours per week, so that didn't leave much time for posting. But the car is now done, and I have a little more time to sit back and breathe. Also, sometimes we just need to take a break for a while, and that was what I needed to do.
I was really shocked to hear about Bill (Gastrick) . My son told me about hearing about his accident, and I feel absolutely horrible, but it sounds like he is making progress. My God, his entire family are the nicest people on the planet, and they have had so much happen like this to them. My prayers go out to all of them, and I am going to try to call Bill soon.
As for my hot rodding stuff, a few months ago, I took my 27 to a gas station so we could take our cars to a little show the next day, and , as I was sitting stopped in traffic, a 95 year old man in a big old Mercedes SUV hit me in the rear end. He thought his crash avoidance system would stop the car !
$6000.00 in damage and the body was in the body shop for 3 months. I just got it back, and it looks better than ever. Glad he had good insurance.
I still have my 29 rpu project to finish, there isn't a whole lot to do to get it done. As soon as I finish putting the 27 body back on the frame I am going to get on it.
I really missed all of you guys, this has always been the best car site on the internet, Tripper did good by all of us. I promise to visit a lot more now that I have some time, and shoot the breeze with everyone again. Thanks for thinking of me.
