Knowing you guys are a few hour drive north is a huge relief for me when I get settled and back into my build.
And finally, I am sad I didn't see this before, because this build, your shop, your talent for a "part-time" builder with a life outside of the shop, is truly an inspiration to me. I'm not super mechanically inclined, but can stumble my way through stuff. The progress you've made and how jaw dropping all of the progress and pics are, inspire me to believe that I can build something with the right amount of motivation. PLEASE don't let this get buried. I'm subbed, and I'll post a pic of my facial expression each time I see your work, if that's what will get you to continue to post!

We sure do thank you for your support.
Salinas is actually loaded with builders and has been for ever. Back in the 70's I used to cruise main in my 55 Chevy and this town was just loaded with hot rods. Most of us grew old and fat and quit building but I sure do enjoy working in my shop.
