He likes to tinker. We just built a winch mount and a plow mount for his sons atv and finished up the brake lines and gas tank on his wifes S10. Now hes tearing down a tractor and fixing the guard on his mowing machine. The shop moto is if its broke we can fix it, or make the problem worse then bring in someone who knows how, lol......

Took the windshield frame out the other night. NO bad rust, just a bit of surface stuff. Yay!!!! Went on a little road trip today with Jamie72. We went down to Bowling Green KY to Southern KY Classics. I got some parts! Cowl hood, outer cab floor patches, kick panels, front bumper, front end bolt kit, door hinge repair kit, and a gas tank with all the goodies. They didn't have the tank in stock so they're gonna drop ship it to me. They even gave me a free shirt..... After hang'in there for a few checkin' out the store, which is a pretty cool store with a ton of stock, we headed to Arts cars. Its a muscle car dealer right in front of the Corvette museum. Everything in that place was BadA##! Vettes, Camaros, Belairs, just about any cool car you can think of was there. The lady at the desk said they were expanding with enough room to add 150 more cars. Its a museum in itself, only if you got the dough you can take an exhibit home, lol.... After that we headed over to the Corvette museum. Yeah, its a sweet place to check out. Vettes, vettes and more vettes. Every make model and year is represented, I think

. If you've never been and roll up or down I65 through KY you have to stop and walk through. Its only 8.00....... Headed home after a bite at the Wendy's, love those jr. bacon cheese burgers! On to the pics....

Sounds like Christmas came early for you, glad you had a great day, with new parts

That black and red big block has been my fav. since I was 16, some day....
I would change the wheels tho, never liked them.

Now its time to put your new pcs. on, have fun. Keep an eye on those kick panel pcs., they gave me the hardest time. J.
