I have to brag

[Rat33pickmup]

So ive been runnin my Upholstery shop for over 3 months now and its staying afloat. Where I have to brag is my Girlfriend, she told me a while ago to spend a few hours in the shop in the evenings and get my 33 ford pu done. Daisy ( thats my girlfriend) has been bringin me Iced tea, Dinner, whatever I need down at the shop for the past few months and only thing she asked if she could be there when it fired for the first time. Monday night the 33 Ran for the first time of me ever owning it ( thats been 17 years was just a cab) and the truck hasnt had an engine in it or even ran since 1958. its gettin close to driving since ive spent this week gettin it running and all wired. How Exciting to own something this long and it finally runs. A Special thanks goes out to Daisy and all the Women that stand behind their Men with this crazy Disease.

I had a girlfreinf like that once. Then I had to go and marry her and that wrecked the whole thing.

You are a lucky man. Where do you find a woman like that!

Jim, thats good news I'll have to stop by and see the progress from the last time I saw it. It was looking pretty sweet then, can't wait to see it.

Congrats Rat33pickmup. I'm glad the business is staying afloat and you reached a big milestone with the project.......and a tip of the hat to your girlfriend. I never had such luck.

All i can say is " I hear YA" on both the rat and GF. Been with mine 20 yrs (wife that is) and still brings me tea out in the shop. Good for ya bro.

sounds like you have a cool chick and congrats on getting the 33 fired.

Congrats on the business doing well. Also, on getting the 33 fired up. Daisy sounds like a keeper with that support of your hobby. I'm luck to have one that still brings me a cold one out to the shop & even gets greasy if need be.

Good for you. A supportive spouse/girlfriend can be hard to come by.
I have a very supportive wife as far as the projects go.

I explained it very simply to her one day. "I am at home in the garage every night, I'm not in a gin mill, not at the strip club, not whoring around."
It's worked out well so far.
Post some pics of the truck by the way.

thanks everyone. Daisy took the first ride in the 33 tonight ( friday July 31) and LOVED it. we took it out of the shop and up the alley behind the upholstery shop and across the street into a parking lot. Was a great time and WOW does it run good.
