Kabwe, I just had a great idea. You would have no shipping costs by driving there to get it next time when you need it and then you could stop in and visit. HAHA It would be nice to visit with some of the great people on this site.

No the bed is not done Mr. Smarty Paints and a hell of a lot is left before paint. This is not Earl Scheib.lol

On the real I have a lot of work to do, and I took a break this weekend and went to the Signal Hill Car Show. BTW I saw your buddy with the beautiful red blazer there. He is a cool dude.

It was talked about on the SoCal Checkin page, but did not see a date. In fact I asked about it on Friday.
Anyway, great work on your truck.

Man if I would have known you wanted to go I would have swung by and picked you up. See that's what happens when you don't let a brotha know what your up to.

Ok so are you going to the El Segundo show tomorrow?

Kabwe · 09-04-2011, 12:04 PM

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to update you as to why I have not been posting to my build thread lately. I been busy working on a 1945 Chevy. Here some pics of me installing a Mustang 2 Suspension. Its in really good condition. Its amazing how these old beast hold up. Isn't this thing cool, I wish it was mine.

The owner of the truck told me he had it in the shop for 4 years to have the Mustang 2 installed and after 4 years all that was done as boxing the frame (and that was not a good job). I can't believe how people take advantage of other people, especially older people. Anyway he was shocked I did it in a weekend, but its nothing but a Mustang 2 Kit. It looks like I'm unknowingly going into business helping the older generation build their hotrods without being taking advantage of.lol But I like helping them so its cool, now we've got to do something about that rear.lol Its a cool old truck I thought you guys would like to see it.

That's his house not mine.lol He has a really nice garage that can fit about 4 cars. But he turned it into a wood working shop when he retired. A lot of equipment is in there.lol

Kim don't you know that a lot of old guys are afraid of computers.lol I asked him to email me these pics because they were taken with his camera and he told me I'd have to wait until his daughter visits him because he does not know how.lol

If I told him to do a build thread on this site his head would explode.lol

sgtusmc · 09-04-2011, 01:57 PM

You never cease to amaze me with your skills and willingness to help others. You are a dying breed my friend!

**JML55** · 09-04-2011, 02:33 PM

Don't get me wrong guys.

I do get paid for my services. I just don't take advantage of anybody or over charge them. I do the best job I can and will throw in freebees if they are good people. I end up throwing in freebees all the time because I will not work on a buttheads car.

And as far as helping others that's why we are placed on the planet to be cool people, at least I try to be but sometime other human being make it so hard.lol

That's terrible !! The owner of the shop needs to be dragged out back and ..... Sorry I got carried away.... Any how, thankfully you are gonna take care of it. Are you going to have to redo the boxing as well? Ya know that happens more often then a lot folks know. I hear all kinds of horror stories of people making down payments, come back 9 months later and the vehicle hasn't even been touched or cheap materials were used.
Well keep the pictures coming, sure do want to follow this build.

Yeah it will be low he has to figure out what he wants to do in the rear, but he was time. There is so much work to do. I will not be doing all of it, I still have to build my stuff.lol
