The greatest (rod) story ever told

Greatest Story

This is the stuff that you always dream about. Great find. Not only the cars but to come across a man like that. The new friends you come across is what this is all about. As you hear so often, it's not the destination that's important, it's the journey. I've recently come across a magical place like yours. Not nearly as good, but the man and his nature sure are making my project a blessing. I'm looking forward to more of the story, thanks.

do you keep that old guy in the loop about the build and give him updates etc? take pictures and just have talks with him?
i imagine he would really cherish that.

I remember when i about 19 i worked at a junkyard and let me tell ya there was some old tin there and i always thought i wish i had some of these and watched them ALL get crushed I`m talking 10+ stude pick ups 10+ willy`s pick ups all kind sof sedans a few coupes ,caddy`s,early jeeps cool stuff the guy knew what he ahd but his kid didnt care and just crushed it cause scrap was up at the time higher than the last few years etc i would say about HONESTLY 400 cars i worked all summer i did get him to save me a willys and stude for awhile then i quit cause winter was tough outside in the rain snow cold etc i said i would be back for the trucks but i never did All i could imagine was building a hot rod rat rod etc out them but i was young and dumb no money etc oh and girls kinda got my attention too.so just a little story of mine to that boy i wish i wouldve got them and saved them.Cant wait to hear more BH hope all is well
