    @ Savage - Just a couple more and you can start your own Truck-in!
    @ Magic. - Is that a homemade VV sticker?

    No somebody on here gave me that but I'm old and can't remember who. So if you gave it to me chime in here and take credit for it. Maybe Dix or Gman?

    Joe clening up his 65 made me think about my NY 65 thats been in the back yard for some time(since I painted the 64 Nodoor??). Been in the tent for 2 winters??  Thought I get it out too look at and see whats in it(another parts shead) It looks bad ,buts in better shape than my Nodoor was when I started on it.  Going to flip front axal back & figure out what I'm going to do with it???

    Blank slate Tom. Those are kind of nice. You can do anything you want to them because ALMOST nobody else would bother with them. Twisted Evil 
    We took a little color tour run up to Cadillac and back yesterday trying to get a fall colors theme for some van pics. Ended up with this one, didn't know what it really looked like til I got it on the PC.

    For fairly cheap orange paint I'm still suprised by the way light and shadow reacts to it.

    Got the front springs fliped back on the 65 from NY. Boy it looks high now??(sorry for more Crappy pics)  Tom stoped over to take a look at it,& get some stuff for his 66. Took him for a short ride in 65 BB. Ran great night before,but didn't then. Next time I'll let it warm up better(& take off parking brake Embarassed )Still not sure what I'm going to do with them yet?? Got to figure it out soon with winter coming

    I will clean out the shop this coming week and see just how much space is available along that side wall. For sure will be able to store the 68, possibly another one for ya this winter too Tom. Enjoyed the ride in the BB even if it wasn't running quite right. I made the trip up to Arnett's, said we could work out a one price deal on whatever we want off those two.

    I have to get mine covered up, unfortunately, we don't have a garage so for this winter, I'll have to invest in a decent cover for her. Maybe some sort of shelter for next year so I can still get under it and work on it. This morning was a wake up call for what's to come. What are you up to? - Page 11 Chilli10
