ahhhh.....where there's a will, there's a way.....you may not build from a rusty pile of crap again, but I doubt you will quit messing around with rods in some way, shape or form!!

We might not be as fast at it, but we are usually smarter at it, than we used to be :!:

Congratulations!!! If anyone deserves it, it's you.  Can't wait to see the issue.  Jake's right, you won't quit.  It's like giving up sex .... or something like that.

I'd be interested in trading a big bottle of ibuprofin for an autograph on my copy!

Char just picked up some from Sam's Club. Two bottles tied together. I think the count is 1000. I don't think I’ll use them all before they expire, besides you don't want me to ruin your copy with an autograph.. :shock:

Jake,  they guy I get my back supports from deals with people  that have the same condition as me. He says” most of them watch TV and wait for the welfare check, but you build cars.” He doesn’t know how I do it.

A Hop Up, Rodder's Journal, or R&C feature would be very motivating I would think.  Congrats Tom!

Very nice Tom. The pics look like a professional photo shoot, did you shoot them with your 35mm?

Thanks Tim. I did them on an overcast day so I wouldn't have harsh shadows. I did some manual settings that may have helped. It’s only a 4 meg camera, but apparently it was good enough.

Morty went through Watertown SD a couple of weeks ago and Randy Gribble saw him. I guess it's for sale, he has the rights to it, the name. He has a nother business that he needs to spend more time with.
