[Charlie Cheap]

Freebeard, actually I have two of these I bought 30 years ago, and both are nice cars. Back then I was a big-time Street Rodder building those and driving them all over the US. I love sportscars but never found time to build both so I just kept them hoping I could build one when I retired, and now I am retired. In my mid 40's a very wealthy hot rodder built me a 4-bay heated and air conditioned shop in my backyard so I could build cars just for him. To say I was lucky is an understatement. I come from the Dallas housing projects and my wife is an orphan, so we were never rich, but we managed to live well. Because I was poor my machinist Dad told me I needed to learn how to build a Rod, because I could not afford to buy one. As I build the car I will post pictures here and ask questions. At 77 this is my last build due to a mild stroke, arthritis, and lack of strength...which hits us all eventually. My mind still wants to build, but my body argues with my mind every day.
