i need to build me a buggy so i can use my horse.. no insurance, license plates, state inspections and i wont even need my drivers license anymore..... sounds like a good plan to me...
I see them on CL from time to time, usually around Seymore. Not cheap.

Evening Everyone!

Yard sale is cleaned up. I got the north field and the back yard knocked down. On Wednesday, the grass was 4" high. Today it was a foot deep! I found me some aluminum slots for my new daily driver, so I'll add that to the list of things to do tomorrow.

I met the daughter/SIL, grandkids in Spg for a late lunch. Managed to get outa Bass Pro with all my money still in my pocket. Mowed one I got home and now working on getting ready to have the step son and his wife and their 2 granddaughters (which I have not seen, since they were both born in Hawaii)....be here on Wednesday.

Jeff just got home 2 days ago from a year long tour over on the island of Ilha Terecira. He was at Lajes Field, which is a Portuguese Air Base that the US Air Force is at. He is going to Fairchild AFB in Washington state next, so looks like a trip to Washington State is in the near future.

Evening Everyone!

I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, but I did alright. The turndowns are done on the headers and they're reinstalled. I got the new starter on. Since the new starter is 3" shorter than the old one, I had to make a new battery cable for it, but that's done, too. Then I road tripped up to Lebanon to get a set of aluminum slots for my new daily. I bought a nice fender while I was there. If anyone wants a SUPER nice '74 F-100 2wd with a 360 and a C6, let me know. Scott is selling his for $5K and it's road trip ready. Green with a green interior. No, I didn't get any pictures.

Is that in your new man house? AKA the "big new shop" ? Looking good for sure. You know FTE has a Garage/Workshop forum?

Well that is looking pretty nice then, for being a DIY job. My dad built a couple of the houses I lived in while growing up. That whole "Before and after work and my days off" can make for a long hard road. Hang in there.
