Thanks, first car I ever painted. A guy saw me driving it a classic car show and hunted me down. He knocked at my door and wanted to buy it. I said no, then he told me his story. He owned that car when he was 16, took his first daughter home from the hospital with it, etc. Then my jaw dropped, he pulled the original keys out of his pocket and started it!! Now for the really amazing part, he showed me the original TITLE. I was living in Nebraska at the time and the only possible thing is that the DMV's screwed up somewhere along the line because I had a clear title. If this guy was a jerk he probably could have tried to take the car but in turn I could have charged him for improvements and storage, it would have been a wash, I guess. He wanted the car bad so I threw out a ridiculous number and he paid it! I loved showing my wife that check because she has always given me a hard time for spending money on cars. At that point, I figured I was ahead of the game, I still miss that car though!
It was all my pleasure to bring this thread back to life!! Glad you guys enjoyed!! LOL George, which Honda is yours, the one with the oil slick under it?
the one that was still in progress was mine. the oil slick one was my friends. the slick was from trying to connect the oil tank lines. you should see the trike we built and never finished, still in my back yard
We built a lawn mower w/ a suzuki 4 wheeler engine/transmission on it back in high school. That thing was fun except the shifter we built was so long that we had to throw the shifter forward about a foot and a half or so to get a shift. LOL. Our campus cop clocked us at 47 mph on it once in the parking lot of the high school.
i have been sitting on a honda 450cc engine waiting for a lawnmower. also have a briggs 8hp for just the right project. look what i just picked up fo' free...
