I know how that goes- almost everything I have needs work, but usually not mechanical. The Galaxie has a nice new engine, and ok tranny, just needs bodywork. Same with the truck. My pattern seems to be good running vehicles, that you could drive across the country and back, but that are as ugly as sin.

Now between Martystowrig and Oneminizut, I'm willing to bet neither one is locked and loaded. One truck that has bicycle tires and no brakes, the other that doesn't run, probably sitting next to a scotchbroom on blocks. Oh Yeah, I feel safe and worried way, way back. I'll be more than happy to drag your rears through those hills.

Now just honor thy neighbor, I'll be right next to ya. How much work we talking? Neighbor is an ex mechanic. The problem is his and my weekends are busy, just happens to be that time of year work starts picking up fast. Three pistols, not bad. I happen to have two, one for each hand and about 4 Mags for each. I do have the P-4 scoped for 400 yards. Bring em in close, I want to see the white of there eyes.
