I know what you mean by being lazy. I've had my rustang in the garage for over a year and the only thing I've accomplished is pushing the engine hoist around to the front of the car!
We are headed that way tommorow to pick up another for him

I saw the first picture and said "It can't possibly get better than that!".

I stand corrected

Herblenny, your project is coming out great, much compliments on everything. I'd take some $ and invest it in a therapist for your OCD though, lol.

I finally meet Phil today and got to see his new car. He has some work to do on it, but it will make him a nice track car when he is finished. His outside door handle collect will now be reduced by one

Looks good, when I saw the first pic I thought it was a mix up at first

Sometimes I dream
That he is me
You've got to see that's how I dream to be
I dream I move, I dream I groove
Like Rich
If I could Be Like Rich!

Again I try
Just need to fly
For just one day if I could
Be that way
I dream I move
I dream I groove
Like Rich
If I could Be Like Rich!

I was singing that song when I was latching the car on to the trailer..
Unfortunately, it needs some work and dont think I could be like you Rich

Not yet...BUT...I was looking around the for sale section a few days ago. I just took a deposit on my rustang too. It didn't have a hood when I bought it so I searched the globe for the perfect hood and I found it. The only problem was the hood I fell in love with was for a 65/66 mustang not a 67/68. I bought the hood! Now I've got to buy the car that the hood fits. My wife thinks I'm crazy...

Most people buy a hood for a car, NOT ME - I buy a car for a hood. It's the outside the box thinking I like...lol

Maybe one day I'll make it back to a rotary.
